Host-Based Architecture LON C o m m u n i c a t i o n G a t e w a y for Building Air-conditioner Monitoring System
Chuzo Ninagawa, Other Lon · 2006
LONWORKS is a de-facto standard in building management system communication. This paper discusses a LON communication gateway specifically designed for packaged air-conditioners. Compared with other gateways, this gateway manages a maximum of 96 air-conditioners and achieves high-speed communication performance. In addition, this gateway employs the LON dedicated Neuron Chip processor as the communication co-processor and achieves high-speed communication performance which is 1.7 times faster than conventional communication gateways through the use of a high-speed CPU capable of handling a large number of network variables and our proprietary communication protocol interchange software.
