LonWorks – open communication using open network systems
Niels Jørgen Strøm · World Pumps · 2008
Complex systems integrating pumps, controllers and other equipment rely on network protocols for communication. While many proprietary protocols exist, ‘standard’ or ‘open’ network protocols offer many advantages. Grundfos senior product engineer Niels Jørgen Strøm looks at one of the better-established such open network systems, the LonWorks technology, describing how it works, the benefits, and how Grundfos uses it in its Commercial Building Services products.
