Product Description
The Telebyte LONWorks is a PCI bus half card which allows a Windows95
based PC to access a network operating under the LONWorks hierarchy
of protocols. The gateway, called Model 3201/3202 is implemented using
the Neuron MC143150 processor running at 10MHz.
The full 64K Neuron address space is configured from dual port static
RAM, visible to both the PC and the Neuron chip. A single I/O port allows
the PC to start and stop the Neuron processor, and enables a virtual
SERVICE button.
Neuron C programs developed with the EchelonŽ NodeBuilder or LONBuilderŽ
may be conveniently loaded to the Model 3201/3202 with the supplied
software driver. The Neuron C program and a PC application may then
communicate via shared memory. The software package also includes a
custom control (.OCX) for simple interface to Visual Basic, Visual C/C++
and similar languages.
The standard version Model 3201 directly supports the 78 KBPS free topology
network, while the Model 3202 supports 1.25 MBPS transmission.
