Description This utility communicates with a Lon network via the Echelon ActiveX. The ActiveX form Echelon enables the monitoring and configuration of a LON network (e.g.: LONMAKER).
IpLonGate does not configure your LON network ! IpLonGate is able to read any LNS database you created (for example with LONMAKER) and to estables a monitoring of any SNVT. On startup of IpLonGate configures the LNS Server to monitor the tags.
Hardware/Software requirements: In order to commnuicate with a Lon network via the TCP/IP stack using IpLonGate you need the following hardware/software requirements:
PC with Windows NT4.0 ServicePack 4 or higher and a network card. Use a PLCTA10, PCLTA20 or PCC10 card with the PnP Driver from Echelon V1.04 or higher. LON network configuration tool (e.g.: LONMAKER) with LNS Server version 2.02 or higher. Configure the LON network and "bind" all LON networks variables to the host adapter. Make sure you don't have more than 30 polling cycles per second on the Lon interface card. Make sure that you don't receive more than 100 message per second from the Lon nodes. Verify with the LON protocol analyzer that the error rate is under 0.1%. Install IpLonGate on the same PC where you installed the PCLTAxx or PCC10 card.
