Status Information
The LED on the front of the controller provides a visual
indication of the status of the device. When the controller
receives power, the LED appears in one of the following
allowable states, as described in Table 5.
Communications
Each controller uses an FTT transformer-coupled
communications port. The controller's Manchester encoded
data is presented to other controllers and devices on the
LONWORKS® Bus at 78 kilobits per second (kbs) via
Echelon® communication protocol. The transformer-coupled
communications interface offers a much higher degree of
common mode-noise rejection while assuring dc isolation.
The LONWORKS® Bus is polarity insensitive, eliminating
installation errors due to miswiring.
Sylk™ Bus
Sylk is a two wire, polarity insensitive bus that provides both
18 Vdc power and communications between Sylk-enabled
devices. Using Sylk-enabled devices saves I/O on the
controller and is faster and cheaper to install since only two
wires are needed and the bus is polarity insensitive.
LONMARK® Functional Profile
The CVL Controllers support the LONMARK® Functional
Profile number 8010 VAV Controller, version 1.0.
Network Variables Profile
Network variables, as described in Table 6, are communicated
over the LONWORKS® Bus. The controller's built-in functions
provide for the selection of variables, which are available from/
to the network.
In Table 6, the network variable prefixes have the following
meaning:
• nvi - Network Variable Input
• nvo - Network Variable Output
