EAGLEHAWK CONTROLLER – INSTALLATION & COMMISSIONING INSTRUCTIONS

LONWORKS COMMUNICATIONS
General Information
The EAGLEHAWK can be connected to L
ON
W
ORKS
networks.
This requires the use of an IF-LON (see section "IF-LON"
below), which is then plugged into to the EAGLEHAWK's USB
2.0 Host Interface (see also section "USB 2.0 Host Interface"
on pg. 5).
This permits individual EAGLEHAWK controllers to be
connected / disconnected from the L
ON
W
ORKS
network
without disturbing the operation of other devices.
The L
ON
W
ORKS
network is insensitive to polarity, eliminating
the possibility of installation errors due to miswiring.
Different network configurations (daisy-chain, loop, and star
configurations, or any combination thereof) are possible (see
also Excel 50/500 L

Description, EN0B-0270GE51).
Connecting to a L
ON
W
ORKS
Network
IMPORTANT
Do not bundle wires carrying field device signals or
L
ON
W
ORKS
communications together with high-voltage
power supply or relay cables. Specifically, maintain a
min. separation of 3 inches (76 mm) between such
cables. Local wiring codes may take precedence over
this recommendation.
IMPORTANT
Try to avoid installing in areas of high electromagnetic
noise (EMI).
Cable Types
The unit must be wired to the L
ON
W
ORKS
network using either
level IV 22 AWG (Belden part number 9D220150)
or
plenum-rated level IV 22 AWG (Belden part number
9H2201504) non-shielded, twisted-pair, solid-conductor
wire.
When possible, use Honeywell AK3781, AK3782, AK3791, or
AK3792 cable (US part numbers). See Excel 50/5000
L
ON
W
ORKS
Mechanisms, EN0B-0270GE51, for details,
including maximum lengths.
Use wire with a minimum size of 20 AWG (0.5 mm
2
) and a
maximum size of 14 AWG (2.5 mm
2
).
IF-LON
The IF-LON is equipped with a free-topology transceiver
(FTT10A) for communication (at a data transmission rate of
78 Kbaud) on L
ON
W
ORKS
® networks (using the LonTalk
protocol).
The L
ON
W
ORKS
network is insensitive to polarity, eliminating
the possibility of installation errors due to miswiring. Different
network configurations (daisy-chain, loop, and star con-
figurations, or any combination thereof) are possible. See
Excel 50/5000 L
ON

ORKS
Mechanisms (EN0B-0270GE51)
for details.
