ORKS
Smart Transceiver (Neuron
Chip) and LonTalk
protocol in its firmware.
This network has following features.
1. Features the merit of distributed control. It enables to configure the network without Host computer.
2. The free topology wiring supported by the TP/FT-10 channel type accommodates bus, star, loop,
or several combinations of these topologies.
3. Network construction tools are commercially available, and desirable network environment can be
designed.
4. Products of the other manufacturer can also be laid out by open and non-exclusive network.
