Using LonMaker Styles Overview
You can use Visio styles to view the state of each device, functional block, connection, and network
variable/message tag. The LonMaker tool automatically updates shape styles as events are received
that indicate changes in shape status. You can change how states are depicted in a LonMaker drawing.
If you modify the current drawing file styles, only the styles in the drawing file that you modified will
be affected. If you modify the styles in the template (L
ON W ORKS .vst by default), all networks created
after the template modification will use the new styles.
LonMaker Device Styles
Device styles indicate the state of the application devices and routers in a LonMaker drawing. The
LNS Server monitors the state of devices that have been enabled, and notifies the LonMaker tool of
any changes. The following list describes the device styles:
Device State Default Style Description
Normal Solid green All changes made to the network database have been
successfully written to the physical device. The
device and the database are synchronized.
Soft Offline Green crosshatching The device has an application loaded and is
configured, but it is offline. The device will go
online when either the online command is invoked
on the device or the device is reset.
Uninstalled Yellow diagonal Changes have been made in the network database,
but the physical device has not been updated.
Devices may not be up to date because the
LonMaker tool is unattached or is OffNet. Once the
device is commissioned and updated, the device style
changes to Normal.
State Failure Yellow crosshatching The LNS Server has detected that the device is not in
the expected state.
Error Red diagonal Changes have been made in the network database, but
an error has occurred while updating the device. The
device may not be responding properly, a router or
channel between the LNS Server and the device may
have failed, or a physical connection may be faulty.
If the LonMaker tool is OnNet, the LNS Server
periodically tries to update the device. Once the
device has been updated to match the network
database, the device style changes to Normal.
Detached Red crosshatching The LNS Server has detected that the device is not
attached or is otherwise unable to communicate with
the network. If a router becomes detached, the
devices on the other side of the router will not show
up as detached on the drawing.
