The LON Protocol
The LON protocol is specified in the LonTalkProtocol Specification Version 3 from Echelon
Corporation. This protocol is designed for communication in control networks and is a peer-to-peer
protocol where all the devices connected to the network can communicate with each other directly.
For more information of the bay-to-bay communication, refer to the section Multiple command
function.
7.1.3
Hardware and software modules
The hardware needed for applying LON communication depends on the application, but one very
central unit needed is the LON Star Coupler and optical fibers connecting the star coupler to the
IEDs. To interface the IEDs from the MicroSCADA with Classic Monitor, application library LIB520 is
required.
The HV Control 670 software module is included in the LIB520 high-voltage process package, which
is a part of the Application Software Library in MicroSCADA applications.
The HV Control 670 software module is used for control functions in the IEDs. The module contains a
process picture, dialogues and a tool to generate a process database for the control application in
MicroSCADA.
When using MicroSCADA Monitor Pro instead of the Classic Monitor, SA LIB is used together with
670 series Object Type files.
Use the LON Network Tool (LNT) to set the LON communication. This is a software tool applied as
one node on the LON bus. To communicate via LON, the IEDs need to know
•
The node addresses of the other connected IEDs.
•
The network variable selectors to be used.
This is organized by LNT.
The node address is transferred to LNT via the local HMI by setting the parameter ServicePinMsg =
Yes. The node address is sent to LNT via the LON bus, or LNT can scan the network for new nodes.
The communication speed of the LON bus is set to the default of 1.25 Mbit/s. This can be changed
by LNT.
The LON communication setting parameters are set via the local HMI. Refer to the Technical manual
for more detailed specifications.
If LON communication from the IED stops because of illegal communication parameter settings
(outside the setting range) or due to other kind of disturbance, it is possible to reset the IED's LON
port.
LON communication setting parameters (Table 13) and LON node information parameters (Table 14)
can only be set via the LON Network Tool (LNT).
