Document 51996 AFP-300/400 NION Installation Rev. A1 03/04/03
1.1 Description of the AFP-300/400 NION
The AFP-300/400 NION (Network Input Output Node) is the EIA-232 interface used with the network. All of the
system components are based on LonWorks™ (Local Operating Network) technologies. The AFP-300/400 NION
provides transparent or interpreted communications between the Workstation and control panels. Unless otherwise
noted, full control capabilities are available for each interface. Check specific connections for details.
The NION connects a LonWorks™ FT-10 or fiber optic network, and the EIA-232 port of control panels. It
provides a two-way communication channel for EIA-232 serial data when connected to a control panel. NIONs
are specific to the type of network to which they connect (FT-10 or fiber). The LonWorks™ network interface
accepts any standard SMX style transceiver (FTXC, S7FTXC, FOXC, or DFXC). The transceiver type must be
specified and ordered separately when ordering the NION.
The NION mounts in an enclosure (NISCAB-1 or CHS-4L in CAB-3 or CAB-4 series enclosure - sold separately)
with conduit knockout.
