Connecting Modbus and LonWorks Networks - FieldServer ...

LonWorks OverviewNeuron ID’s vs Program ID’s‣ Neuron ID - Uniquely defines the Neuron chip onthe network. No two Neuron chips in the worldhave the same ID.‣ Program ID - defines an application on ahardware platform, and is possible for twohardware platforms to have the same Program IDbecause they are running the same application.‣ If an application changes, then its Program ID mustchange too. This means when Lon variables are modifiedin the FieldServer configuration, the Program ID mustchange.‣ If the Program ID changes for a device, then that deviceneeds to be removed from a network, and thenrecommissioned.‣ The Lesson to be learned: Plan your variable listcarefully before commencing with binding.
