DISTRIBUTED DATA SYS TEMS OF
BUIL DING TECH NO LOGY
LON (Lo cal Op er at ing Net work)
- LON is field bus that en ables the distributed data
sys tems in build ings
- based on the Neuron- prosessor of Eche lon Co
- cho sen by the Fin nish build ing as so cia tion as
the ba sis of SaMBA- project
- LON is a build ing auto ma tion sys tem which con trols
lights, heat ing, air con di tion ing, elec tric ity, se cu rity
sys tems of build ings with in tel li gent auto ma tion sys tems
- LON- net/In tel li gent nodes. They use the same lan guage,
which is Lon Talk. LON- bus is open and suit able for
prod ucts of dif fer ent manu fac turers
- LON- net does not need cen tral ized con trol
- Ap pli ca tions are build ings, in dus try and pro cess
auto ma tion, ve hi cles and small sys tems
- Lon Works networks is becoming the dominant standart
for home networking around the world.
It is very im por tant to plan ca bling sys tems so that it is
pos si ble to con nect in tel li gent switches and nodes eas ily
and make so lu tions which work prop erly in the fu ture too.
The LON ca bles of NK Ca bles ful fil re quire ments of
Echelon specification, which describes ca bling sys tems
and re quire ments.

LON- Cabling
LON -Ca bling can be realized with three dif fer ent con duc tor
sizes (1,3 mm, 0,8 mm and 0,65 mm).
LON- cables of NK Ca bles are:
LO NAK ®
2 x 1,3
LO NAK ® ARM 2 x 1,3
LO NAK ® 2 x 2 x 0,8
LO NAK ®
2 x 2 x 0,65
LON Ca bling works also with Cat. 5 ca bles, but only with
shorter con nec tions and smaller node amounts.
Readiness of LON- Cabling
Readiness for LON can be improved by installing
a sufficient amount of LON boxes with RJ 45 female
connectors to connect the nodes.
LON outlets should be installed in such amounts and at
such distances that a allow a readiness for LON in all
premises can be achieved.
The type of cable used as a connecting wire and its lenght
should be chosen according to the tranceivers and in
compliance with the allowed lengths of cable and
distances between nodes.
Cabling implemented in the right way is a basic
prerequisite for error-free and reliable data transmission
between intelligent nodes. Cabling has a great effect on
how the LON network will serve its users in the future when
it is need to change and grow.
