Description
A MicroTech II LonWorks Communications Module provides the interface between a MicroTech II unit controller and a
LonWorks Local Operating Network (LON). It translates the LonTalk variables used on the network to the variables used in
the unit controller and vice versa. Two versions are available: one in accordance with the LonMark Space Comfort Control
(SCC) Functional Profile and one in accordance with the LonMark Discharge Air Control (DAC) Functional Profile.
Profiles are interpreted in loaded programs (firmware). Each profile is interpreted in a separate MicroTech II LonWorks
Communications Module. This manual covers both.
Each MicroTech II LonWorks Communications Module is a printed circuit board that plugs onto the MicroTech II Main
Control Board. Figure 1 is an outline drawing with dimensions of a printed circuit board.
