Chapter 1.0
5.1 System description
Introduction
The demands on ventilation systems and units in
laboratories are continually increasing. The focus is on the
safety of people.
A special appliance for protecting the safety of laboratory
workers is the fume hood, which is intended to reduce the
escape of dangerous substances such as gases, vapours,
aerosols or dust to minimal levels.
System components
For this, careful system planning is necessary, comprising
room supply air control, fume hood monitoring and control
and room exhaust air control.
SCHNEIDER offers all the necessary monitoring
components. The advantage for the user is that the entire
system is available from a single source and thus functions
without compatibility problems.
5.1.1 Fume hood monitors
The SCHNEIDER FM100, FM500 and iM50 monitoring
systems are designed for the functional monitoring of
ventilation in fume hoods and work entirely independently
of the volume ow controller that is used. This means that
fume hoods with variable or with constant volume ows
can be safely monitored. The exhaust air volume ow is
continuously measured with a differential pressure sensor
and compared to a setpoint. When the setpoint is underrun,
an optical and acoustic alarm is activated.
Optionally a ow sensor can be connected to the FM100
or FM500 monitoring systems to monitor a constant face
velocity in the front area of the fume hood. The iM50 face
velocity monitor already has an integrated ow sensor.
Suitable for all constructions
A monitoring system is mandatory for all fume hoods in
accordance with DIN EN 14175. The FM100, FM500 and
iM50 are suitable for tting in all fume hood models and
constructions and are thus ideally suited for retrotting.
Volume ow measuring devices round off the SCHNEIDER
product range and improve measuring accuracy.
Standards
SCHNEIDER monitoring systems full all European and
American standards, such as the British Standard, DIN,
DIN EN, Norm Francaise, ASHRAE, etc.
5.1.2 Fume hood controllers
FC500 and iCM are fully variable control systems for fume
hoods with integrated fume hood monitoring in accordance
with DIN EN 14175. The exhaust air volume ow of the
fume hood is regulated depending on the sash position
(horizontal and vertical). A motor driven, adjustable
control damper is moved until the programmable setpoint
corresponds to the actual value of the exhaust air volume
ow.
All system parameters of the volume ow controller,
including exhaust air volume monitoring and alarm,
can be congured by users on-site in accordance with
their specic needs using an SVM100 service module
(handheld terminal) or a laptop with the PC2500 software.
5.1.3 Automatic sash controllers
The Automatic Sash Controller SC500 ideally complements
the FC500 und iCM control systems.
When the operating personnel leave the working area of
the fume hood, the sash is shut fully automatically. As soon
as the sensor detects that persons are no longer in front
of the fume hood, the automatic closing process is started
after a programmable delay time. With the sash closed,
the control system now reduces the exhaust air volume
ow without endangering the safe functioning of the fume
hood. This means maximum safety and at the same time
saves energy.
5.1.4 Constant volume ow controllers
CAV constant volume ow controllers are used in continuous
extraction units. Storage cabinets, base extractors or oor
extractors must be continuously extracted with a constant
air volume. Mechanical (without auxiliary power) and
electronic constant volume ow controllers regulate a
predened volume ow independent of the duct pressure.
5.1.5 Switchable consumer loads
Source capture exhaust arms and exhaust chimneys,
which can be switched off and on as needed, are among
the switchable consumer loads.
Constant volume ow controllers (mechanical or electronic),
coupled with an OPEN/SHUT damper, are switched on or
off with an electric switch.
5.1.6 Room air controllers
Laboratories with several fume hoods, constant volume
ow controllers and switchable consumer loads require
complex room supply air and room exhaust air control.
Rapid changes in volume ow must be recognised
immediately and the necessary room supply/exhaust air
must be regulated accordingly.
The SCHNEIDER LCO500 laboratory controller and the
GC10 room group controller full these requirements and
offer a complete system solution from a single source.
The room group or laboratory controller calculates the
room balancing of all variable and constant loads in the
laboratory and regulates the room supply air. At the same
8
Chapter 1.0
time, the room exhaust air is regulated so that the exhaust
air volume ow is at least 25m
3
/h per m
2
of the laboratory,
as specied by DIN 1946, part 7.
In addition to room control, laboratory alarms and operating
states (e.g. temperature, room pressure, humidity) can be
captured.
A LON (local operating network) system network
connection with the building services management (BMS)
makes it possible to fully monitor and control all ventilation
parameters via the central computer.
5.1.7 Fast running variable volume ow
controllers
Fast running variable volume ow controllers VAV are
mainly used to control laboratory supply and exhaust air.
The control time between VMIN and VMAX should not be
more than 3 s so that the control speed of the fume hoods
can be tracked and large uctuations in room pressure
(negative pressure and positive pressure) can be avoided.
The control signal for the required room supply or room
exhaust air volume is calculated by the GC10 room group
controller or by the LCO500 laboratory controller and is
switched as a setpoint signal with the variable volume ow
controller.
Analogue inputs and eld bus
SCHNEIDER offers variable volume ow controllers with
an analogue input (0...10 VDC) and with various eld bus
systems, such as the LON network.
5.1.8 Programming
Programming and display of all actual values and setpoints
of fume hood monitors, fume hood controllers, automatic
sash controllers, laboratory controllers and volume ow
controllers is done with the SVM100 service module
(handheld terminal) or with a laptop and the SCHNEIDER
PC2500 conguration software. All parameters can be
congured on site in accordance with the users' needs.
In addition, measurement logs can be created and saved
with the PC2500 software.
5.1.9 System networking
All SCHNEIDER Elektronik monitoring, control and room
control systems can be connected to each other in free
topology (LON). All parameters, setpoints and actual
values are available on the graphic interface of the central
computer.
LON nodes
The LON network connects a maximum of over 32,000
system components (LON nodes) with one another and
with its decentralised structure ensures very exible
and transparent data transfer. Retrotting and system
enhancements can be easily implemented. The LON
protocol is an international standard and is used mainly
in building services management and measurement
readings.
5.1.10 Building services management
All functions of the control system can be controlled and
monitored via the building services management (BMS).
System performance is increased considerably in the LON
network. Laboratory occupancy plans and maintenance
logs increase operating safety for the user and at the
same time reduce operating costs. Remote maintenance
and diagnostics are easily possible over the Internet using
routers and web servers.
5.1.11 Safety in the laboratory and
energy savings
With SCHNEIDER's FC500 and iCM fume hood control
systems, the focus is on energy savings while at the same
time minimising the escape of contaminants. A closed
sash reduces the required volume ow by approx. 70 %.
That represents considerable energy savings and at the
same time ensures maximum safety for the operating
personnel.
5.1.12 Project planning
Take advantage of the experience of our engineers and
technicians if you have questions about project planning
and overall room ventilation planning. We have successfully
carried out numerous large projects and we are a leading
supplier in the area of air technology for laboratories.
Development and production of the system components
are done at our own site using state-of-the-art technology
and enable us to react very quickly. This also applies
to specially designed models and customer-specic
customisations.
SCHNEIDER Elektronik offers innovation, cost-
effectiveness and quality.
We regulate air and are glad to offer you advice. Let us
regulate it for you.

The SCHNEIDER FM100, FM500 and iM50 monitoring
systems are designed for the functional monitoring of
ventilation in fume hoods and extraction systems.

The standards-compliant requirements for fume hood
monitoring appliances are:
Perfect functioning of the ventilation in all fume hoods
must be monitored with an appliance that functions
automatically and operates with a secure power
supply (e.g. back-up battery). In the case of errors, an
optical and acoustic alarm must be activated. It must
not be possible to deactivate the optical signalling
device (DIN 12924, part 1 and EN 14175).

Measurement with a static differential pressure sensor is
generally more precise and more robust with regard to

Figure 2.4 shows the schematic diagram of the entire
FM100 fume hood controller.
1.6.1 Power supply
All SCHNEIDER products have their own 230V AC power
supply, which eliminates the need for a 24V AC power
supply via an external transformer. The integrated power
supply makes planning easier, generates no additional
costs and considerably improves system safety and
stability of the electronics. With an external 24 V power
supply the entire supply line would fail in the case of a
short circuit or other defect.
The external emergency power pack is installed when the
mains supply does not provide an uninterrupted power
supply (UPS). In the case of a mains voltage failure, this is
reported and the monitoring function is maintained via the
emergency power pack.
1.6.2 CPU set-up
The CPU consists of a microcontroller with integrated
RAM (Random $ccess Memory), a ROM (Read Only
Memory) for the application software, a UART (Universal
$synchronous Receiver Transmitter), internal timers, Input/
Output-Ports and an A/D ($nalogue/Digital converter).
In addition to a CPU kernel, there is also a D/A (Digital/
$nalogue converter) as well as an input and an output
interface on the control board. The peripheral sensors are
connected to the corresponding port cables.
The parameters are saved mains voltage failure-free in
the EE-PROM.
7ZRLQGHSHQGHQWZDWFKGRJVFLUFXLWV
The FM100 fume hood monitor has two independent
watchdog circuits. The microcontroller is checked for errors
at regular intervals and in the case of an error in the CPU,
one or both of the watchdog circuits trigger a hardware
reset, which restarts the CPU. This extended watchdog
concept additionally increases operating safety.

1.1 Introduction
Depending on the requirements, various control types are
necessary for fume hoods. With the LabSystem product
range, SCHNEIDER supports the most varying system
requirements of users and is in a position to completely
IXOOWKHGHPDQGVRIWKHPDUNHW
7KHPRVWVLJQLFDQWFRPPRQIHDWXUHRIDOOFRQWUROW\SHVLV
to avoid the escape of contaminants from the fume hood
every time the sash is opened. This applies both during
the opening of the sash as well as to a fully open sash and
requires safe, rapid and precise control of the exhaust air
YROXPHRZ
Table 3.1 shows the various control types and the
corresponding product from the LabSystem series.

are continually measured. An internal linearisation of the
actual values as well as a fast control algorithm predictively

and this enables rapid, stable and accurate regulation of
WKHUHTXLUHGH[KDXVWDLUYROXPHRZ
If the setpoint cannot be regulated, e.g. due to lack of
air, an optical and acoustic alarm is activated when the
exhaust air setpoint is underrun. The acoustic alarm can
be acknowledged with the Reset button, while the optical
alarm is only switched off when the exhaust air setpoint is
either reached or exceeded.

supply, which eliminates the need for a 24V AC power
costs and considerably improves system safety and
stability of the electronics. With an external 24 V power
An external 24 VAC power supply is also possible without

The FC500 controller has two independent watchdog
circuits. The microcontroller is checked for errors at regular
intervals and in the case of an error in the CPU, one or
both of the watchdog circuits trigger a hardware reset,
which restarts the CPU. This unique watchdog concept
additionally increases operating safety.

5.2.1 Compact design
In consideration of structural conditions in laboratories, we
have developed a compact maintenance-free measuring
device that can be mounted directly on fume hood exhaust
air outlets. A special inlet route is not necessary. For a pipe
diameter of DN200 the compact measuring device with
integrated damper requires a length of just 235 mm.
Table 3.2 shows the relationships between the nominal

to the face velocity in the sash area, both in the open and
shut positions. If the sash is opened, the face velocity drops
and is thus directly dependent on the sash opening.
5.5 Position sensor
A position sensor (cable potentiometer) determines
the vertical sash position with an absolute accuracy of
more than 2 mm. The reproducible and seamless linear
determination of the sash position enables very fast,
precise, stable control. With this technique overshoot or
undershoot are largely avoided.
The position sensor is easy to mount and ensures an
absolutely safe and stable actual value signal for the
vertical sash position.
The position sensor cable has an ejection length of 1m and
can easily be hooked into the front sash counterweight.
The SPS100 position sensor developed by SCHNEIDER
is specially designed for precise, reproducible and stable
determination of the vertical sash opening height.

The CPU consists of a microcontroller with integrated
RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only
Memory) for the application software, a UART (Universal
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter), internal timers, Input/
Output-Ports and an A/D (Analogue/Digital converter).
In addition to a CPU kernel, there is also a D/A (Digital/
Analogue converter) as well as an input and an output
LQWHUIDFH RQ WKH FRQWURO ERDUG 7KH SHULSKHUDO VHQVRUV
and acutators are connected to the corresponding port
FDEOHV
The parameters are saved mains voltage failure-free in
the EE-PROM.
5.2.3 Two independent watchdog circuits
The SC500 controller hardware has two independent
watchdog circuits. The microcontroller is checked for errors
at regular intervals and in the case of an error in the CPU,

reset, which restarts the CPU. This unique watchdog
concept additionally increases operating safety.

The advanced exhaust air requirement is calculated im-
mediately and considerably improves the reaction time of
the entire control process, including the room exhaust air.
The monitoring device for the ventilation function of the
fume hood is integrated in the controller. The demand-re-

monitored and thus offers maximum safety for the ope-
rating personnel. The dynamic monitoring value is freely
programmable and is entered as an offset value. When
the offset value of the exhaust air setpoint that is to be
regulated is underrun, an acoustic and optical alarm is ac-
tivated.
The FC-500-K-Ex controller consists of electronics in
sheet steel casing, a measuring tube with integrated dam-

conductive) with actuator, a differential pressure transmit-
ter and a terminal box. The ex-protected function display is
equipped with a green and a red LED as well as a buzzer
and an acknowledgement button. It may be mounted di-
rectly on the fume hood in the Ex room.

adhered to, no inadmissible external inductances or ca-
pacities may operate or arise via cables. The maximum
permissible electrical parameters of the EEx-i device must
be adhered to at all times. Connections between instrically
safe and non-instrinsically safe electrical circuits are not
permitted. Connections between two different intrinsically
safe electrical circuits are permitted, however, they must
be calculated beforehand. Intrinsically safe electrical cir-
cuits must be labelled as such.

The SVM100 service module is characterised by its
compactness and direct access to all parameters for the
SCHNEIDER products. The service module is designed
as a handheld terminal and thanks to its optional power
pack, it is always ready for use. The menu structure is the
same for all products and thus easy to learn.
The PC2500 software runs on all personal computers with
the Windows
operating system, primarily on battery ope-

rated laptops. Here the focus is on clarity and documen-
tation of the programmed settings. Each parameter group
is displayed on its own page on the screen and thus all
parameters and values are available "at a glance". The
PC2500 software is ideally suited in production for pre-
programming and duplicating the parameters of the pro-
ducts. For those for whom a laptop is not too inconvenient,
this is an excellent tool for set-up and maintenance, inclu-
ding output of the corresponding documentation.

1.1 What is LON?
LON stands for Local Operating Network and was introdu-
ced in 1990 by Echelon Corporation (USA).
The LonWorks
technology is a very exible communica-

tions system for building and process automation. It com-
prises the communications protocol LonTalk, special hard-
ware in the form of a Neuron Chip, and a range of tools for
development, installation and maintenance of LonWorks
networks and is thus a comprehensive platform for crea-
ting LON automation networks.
The LonTalk communications protocol was standar-
dised in 1998 in the American standard EIA-709.1 "Con-
trol Network Specication and in the European standard
EN13154-2. All 7 layers of the ISO/OSI model are suppor-
ted, which achieves the maximum possible exibility and
performance in comparison with other eld bus systems.
Table 7.6 (see page 11) shows the individual protocol lay-
ers of the ISO-OSI model.
The networks consist of decentral intelligent devices called
"nodes" and always include at least one neuron chip,
which full the functions of a specic application process
and can exchange messages on the basis of a common
communications protocol.
LON devices (nodes) can communicate with one ano-
ther on a wide range of different transfer media, among
others:
Twisted pair cable, FTT-10A
Powerline
Fibre-optic
Radio frequency RF
Coax
The standardised transmission rates depend on the trans-
mission medium used and range from 300 bit/s to 1.25
Mbit/s. In the area of building automation, LON networks
with 78 kbit/s and the FTT 10-A transceiver are usually
used.
The LonWorks
technology includes all resources re-

quired for development, set-up, operation and mainte-
nance, in particular:
Neuron
Chip as the hardware basis

LonTalk
protocol as the communications protocol

Various transceivers for physical coupling

2.1 Neuron
Chip
Neuron
Chip is a specially developed microprocessor

(CPU) with a uniform, inexpensive communication con-
nection for any type of technical application at eld or au-
tomation level. Neuron Chips are available in two basic
versions:
Neuron-3120 for devices with simple applications (one to
three KByte application memory on the chip).
Neuron 3150 for devices with complex applications (up to
58 KByte external memory).
In addition to the two basic chips further versions are avai-
lable, e.g. with larger EEPROM memory, integrated A/D
converter, etc.
The 3120 and 3150 Neuron Chips have three indepen-
dently functioning 8-bit processors (CPU) and support all
7 layers of the ISO/OSI model:
CPU 1 = Media Access Control CPU
coordinates access to the transmission medium via the
transceiver. CPI 1 implements layer 2 of the ISO/OSI mo-
del.
CPU 2 = Network CPU
is the network processor and is responsible, among other
things, for transmitting network variables. CPU 2 imple-
ments layers 3 to 6 of the ISO/OSI model.
CPU 3 = Application CPU
is exclusively available to the application software of the
technical application and thus implements layer 7 of the
ISO/OSI model.
Data exchange between the processors takes place via
common memory areas in the RAM.

2.2 Lontalk
protocol
The communications protocol, which has been generally
available since 1996 and is accessible to all, is known as
the LonTalk
protocol.
It is the common LON language and is hard coded into the
ROM of the neuron chip. This ensures that the protocol is
always exactly the same, independent of the device ma-
nufacturer. The LonTalk
protocol is the same for all no-

des and guarantees the user compatibility of the devices.
The LON technology is the global standard for interopera-
bility and more than 4000 manufacturers worldwide produ-
ce devices and systems for the LonWorks
technology. All
products have one thing in common: they can communica-
te with one another and speak and understand the same
language.
All SCHNEIDER products can be modularly retrotted with
a network interface board. We support the LON
, BAC-
net
and Modbus
networks, which ensures a very high

level of exibility.

2.3 Transceivers
A LON network can be assembled with various transmis-
sion media. The transceiver forms the link between the
Neuron
Chip and the bus line (transmission media).

The FTT-10 A transceiver is the worldwide standard and
enables connection to a two-wire line.
The main advantage of the FTT 10-A transceiver is the
free network topology, i.e. retrotting in existing subsec-
tions is easily possible.
Figure 10.2: Different network topologies
Table 10.1 shows the physical restrictions of the various
transceivers.
Table 10.1: Different transceiver types
The transceiver type most commonly used in building au-
tomation is the FTT 10-A in free topology. If cabling is car-
ried out with the Belden cable, the maximum cable length
is limited to 500 m. With the cable type JY(St)Y 2 x 2 x 0.8
the maximum cable length is limited to 320 m.
As soon as the recommended cable length is exceeded,
a repeater or router must be installed in order to achieve
a physical separation of the cable network and limit data
trafc to the absolutely essential data (router).
The LPT 10-A transceiver is equipped with an integrated
power supply and generates 5 VDC with a maximum cur-
rent load of 100 mA. This type is therefore ideal for actu-
ating and supplying power to sensors and actuators. By
means of a DC/DC transformer, the 5 VDC are generated
from the actual LON data line, on which a direct current of
42 VDC is superimposed. Power supply and data transfer
takes place via a single two-wire line and thus represents
a very cost-efcient solution
The FTT 10-A and LPT 10-A transceiver types can be used
in parallel within the network topology, but the maximum
number of nodes per segment is limited to 64 or 128.
The A and B bus wires of the LON cable can be connected
in any way, i.e. irrespective of polarity and thus facilitate
wiring, setup and troubleshooting.
In order to be able to use ring structures for retrottings as
well, we recommend ensuring correct polarity of the bus
wires during the initial installation.
CAUTION!
Only use cable type JY(St)Y 2 x 2 x 0.8 or
Belden 85102 or Belden 8471
Do not use cable type JY(St)Y 2 x 2 x 0.6!
CAUTION!
If the network includes ring structures, the
correct polarity of the A and B bus wires must be
ensured.

Figure 10.3 shows a typical LON network in free topology.
Figure 10.3: LON network in free topology
Depending on the cable type used, networks in free topo-
logy achieve the following maximum values:
Table 10.2: Cable lengths in free topology
To ensure safe transfer in networks with free topology, the
following points must be observed:
A terminator with R1 = 52.5 or an LPT 10-A with
integrated terminator must always be connected.
The distance from each transceiver to all other tran-
sceivers may not exceed the maximum distance bet-
ween two nodes.
In the case of different signal paths, e.g. with ring to-
pology, the longest transmission path should be used
as a basis for observation
The maximum cable length is the sum total of all net-
work cables connected in the segment.

2.5 Network extension in bus/line structure
The special case of bus or line structures enables a con-
siderable increase of the maximum permissible cable
length. With this structure, the maximum possible cable
length for FTT /LPT networks is achieved.
The bus line is laid in one strand. Connection of the nodes
takes place via short stub lines (maximum 3 m). It is not
necessary to ensure correct polarity of the bus wires.
Depending on the cable type used, networks that use bus/
line structures achieve the following maximum values:

Chapter 10.0
To ensure safe transmission in networks with bus/line to-
pology, the following points must be observed:
The bus line must be connected to bus terminators at
both ends R1 = R2 = 105 .
Optionally, instead of a bus terminator an LPT 10-A
can be connected to the end of one bus line.
The second terminator is always required.
The maximum length of the stub lines must not ex-
ceed 3 m.
When a physical repeater is used, a maximum of 5400
m can be achieved.
Figure 10.5: Cable type Belden 8471 and Belden 85102
in bus/line topology
Table 10.4 lists the cable specications for the various ca-
ble types. The cable type JY(St)Y 2 x 2 x 0.8 is widely
used in Europe and can be supplied from stock, while the
Belden cable is produced in the USA and thus has longer
delivery periods. The Belden cable is considerably more
expensive than the JY(St)Y cable.
Table 10.4: Cable specications for various
cable types
2.6 Maximum number of nodes
Irrespective of the topology and the selected cable type,
the following rules apply for the connection of FTT 10-A
and LPT 10-A to a bus line segment:
maximum 64 FTT nodes per bus line segment
maximum 128 LPT nodes per bus line segment
In the case of mixed assembly with FTT and LPT:
maximum 128 nodes per segment
LPT counts as single
FTT counts as double (greater load on the bus)

Note on cable type JY(St)Y 2 x 2 x 0.8
Maximum total length of the bus line: 900 m
Maximum length of the stub lines: 3 m
With screen cables, the screen should be connected on
one side (no earth loops) via an RC element to earth
(R = 470 , 5 %, 0.25 W,
C = lm capacitator 0.1 F, 10 %, 100 V)
Sample calculations:
1. 100 LPT nodes, 10 FTT nodes:
1 x + 2 x 10 = 100 + 20 = 120 permissible

2.7 Repeaters
A network segment is restricted to 64 nodes (when FTT
transceivers are used). If a project requires more than 64
nodes, a further network segment is installed. The indivi-
dual network segments are connected to one another with
repeaters and/or routers.
Repeaters are devices with two bus connections. In the
case of the maximum number of nodes (=64), one node
must be subtracted for the repeater, i.e. a network seg-
ment comprises a maximum of 63 connected subscribers
(nodes). The task of the repeater is consists of accepting
data telegrams from the bus side, amplifying them and
sending them to the opposite side.
Repeaters are used:
when the maximum network extension of a segment
has been reached
when the maximum number of nodes in a segment is
exceeded.
Repeaters have no lter function and simply forward each
telegram they receive. Thus the data trafc of a network
segment passes unhindered into the adjacent segment.
Too much data trafc results in irregular delays in the re-
sponse time. With repeaters it is only possible to connect
two network segments with the same transceiver family,
while routers also allow the connection of different trans-
mission media.
A maximum of three repeaters can be switched one after
another in a logical chain. After this, a router is necessa-
ry for regeneration of the data telegram. After the router,
again a maximum of three repeaters can be connected,
etc.
Figure 10.6: Repeaters as data signal ampliers
2.8 Routers
Routers also have two bus connectors and therefore, like
repeaters, can be used for signal amplication. Routers
can be equipped with two different transceivers and thus
can connect different transmission media, e.g. twisted pair
segment with power-line segment (TP PL) or media
with different transmission speeds, e.g. twisted pair with
78kbit/s with twisted pair with 1250 kbit/s (TP 78 TP
1250).
2.8.1 Routers as telegram lters
However, the main area of application is the telegram l-
ter functionality, whereby specic telegrams do not reach
other network segments if no subscriber is addressed the-
re. This reduces data trafc to the necessary minimum and
increases the response time of the entire system. During
the "lter function", the data telegram remains within its
own network segment, while during the "forwarding func-
tion", the data telegram reaches other network segments.
The router is therefore mainly used for logical structuring
of the network.

2.9 LON und Internet
A large number of manufacturers offer Internet servers
with an LON interface. This makes Internet access to LON
nodes possible from any subsection.
Thus remote maintenance and diagnostics and alarm no-
tications are easily possible via the Internet, which consi-
derably increases the reliability of the entire system. The
required data security is guaranteed by means of authen-
tication. This is a password-controlled procedure on the
basis of a random generator. A randomly generated 64 bit
number is compared by the transmitter and the receiver
and, if the coding is the same, the receiver recognises
whether the transmitter is authorised and accepts or re-
jects the package.
Figure 10.8: Internet server
2.10 The object
Each node is described by an object (functional unit). Fi-
gure 10.9 shows a typical general graphical description.
Objects represent the network interfaces of an application
or parts of the application of a node in relation to other
nodes or objects. LonMark denes the node object and
ve general objects that should be used in applications:
Open loop sensor object
Closed loop sensor object
Open loop actuator object
Closed loop actuator object
Controller object
The object itself is represented by a rectangle with roun-
ded corners. Input variables are shown as arrows on the
left-hand side (nvi#) and output variables as arrows on the
right-hand side (nvo#).

2.11 Binding (links)
The logical links between the individual nodes are dened
in the binding. The nodes provide their data to the network
in the form of network variables. In the binding the output
network variable (nvo#) of the transmitting node is linked
to one or more input network variables (nvi#) of one or
more receiving nodes, which ensures accurate data ex-
change. Table 10.5 shows an extract of the network varia-
bles list (SNVT) for the FC500 fume hood controller of the
LabSystem series.

2.12 Development tools
The development tools are used for creating neuron pro-
grams in the programming language Neuron-C and for
set-up of individual nodes as well as entire networks (bin-
ding).
2.13 Lonmark
and interoperability
The LONMARK
Interoperability Association creates func-

tional proles and the SNVT master list (Standard Network
Variable Type). Devices and systems that are developed
in accordance with these rules achieve a very high level of
interoperability. Interoperability means the ability to carry
out a task in a distributed application with devices produ-
ced by different manufacturers.
During product development, SCHNEIDER specically fol-
lows the SNVT master list and thus achieves a high level
of interoperability and exibility for the operator.
2.14 Advantages of LON TECHNOLOGY
The following summarises the advantages of LON tech-
nology:
Decentralised automation
Sensors and actuators are equipped with their own intelli-
gence (CPU) and directly exchange the relevant informa-
tion with one another. Information processing takes place
directly, eliminating the need for central processing.
Reduced investment costs
due to minimum wiring effort (twisted pair cable) and mul-
tiple usage of actuators and sensors.
Reduced operating costs
due to system and subsystem-wide usage of information
as well as the implementation of exible control strate-
gies.
Reduced maintenance and servicing costs
due to common, system-wide diagnostic possibilities as
well as system-wide central building management.
Flexibility of retrotting
LON technology is extremely exible with regard to chan-
ges and enhancements to functionality
and retrotting. Thanks to the use of free network topolo-
gy, manufacturer-independent products can be connected
directly.
Building transparency
A very high level of building transparency for the operator
is achieved through the capture of operating costs and re-
mote monitoring and diagnostics, even via the Internet.
Open to the future
Through the use of manufacturer-independent products,
continuous development of the application technology is
guaranteed.
3.1 Subsection-wide system
The LonWorks
technology offers a cost-efcient solution

for operating buildings as subsection-wide systems. Sen-
sors and actuators of different subsections, such as elec-
trical and sanitary installations, heating, ventilation and air
conditioning, sun protection and access control, can be
used by all subsections.
In addition to considerable savings on investment costs,
exibility and usage levels are increased.

4.1 SCHNEIDER Elektronik and LON
We have been developing and producing products with
LonWorks
technology since 1996, we have implemented

numerous large projects and have excellent references.
The interoperability and the increasing acceptance world-
wide have convinced us. This is why we actively and en-
thusiastically participate in the LNO (LON user organisa-
tion).

Chapter 10.0
5.1 LON network with connection to the
Internet
Figure 10.10 shows an entire LON network in free topo-
logy. All LON nodes, including the FC500-V-L fume hood
controllers and the LCO500 laboratory controller are im-
plemented with FTT-10A or LPT-10 transceivers.
With the LCO500 laboratory controller, cost-efcient mixed
systems can be implemented, in which analogue actua-
tion occurs within the laboratory, while the LCO500 can
be connected to the LON network outside the laboratory.
In the case of data access through to the fume hood, the
laboratory controller only occupies one node of the LON
network, which considerably reduces the number of rou-
ters required.
In addition to the automatic balancing function for room
supply air and room exhaust air, the LCO500 laboratory
controller can actuate digital inputs (alarms, sensors, etc.)
and digital relay outputs (light, motors, etc.) via the LON
network. Remote maintenance of the fume hoods and their
controllers is also possible via the Internet or an intranet.
With the remote maintenance software PAD3000, SCHNEI-
DER offers the entire functionality from a single source.

6.1 What is BACnet
?
BACnet
stands for Building Automation and Control

network and is a manufacturer-independent network pro-
tocol (data transfer protocol) for building automation.
The development objective of the BACnet
protocol was
to provide a uniform, company-independent standard for
data communication, that is, a technical terminology for
data exchange, in and with building automation systems.
BACnet
has been a standard of ASHRAE (American So-

ciety of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engi-
neers) since 1995 and was taken over as an ANSI-Norm
(135). BACnet
has also been an ISO standard (16484-5)

since 2003.
6.1.1 The management level
The BACnet
protocol should be used as a standard at

management level in order to enable joint control, regulati-
on and monitoring even in the control centres of large, he-
terogeneous building automation systems. Administration
of the systems should be done with BACnet
.
6.1.2 The automation level
At the automation level one level below, in addition to
BACnet
other protocols such as LONTalk
, PROFIBUS
and Modbus are possible. Gateways are used to connect
the different networks (e.g. LON and BACnet) with one
another. However, these "mediators between two worlds"
are not always without problems, because protocol trans-
lations in gateways are usually not perfect.
6.1.3 The eld level
One level further down is the eld level with the connected
eld bus modules. Here access to the physical parame-
ters, such as retrieval and setting of digital and analogue
inputs and outputs, is established via the corresponding
interface. If protocol standards other than BACnet are
used, here as well gateways must be installed between
the different networks.
The level model is displayed in Figure 10.11.
Figure 10.11: Level model
6.2 Native BACnet
Native BACnet
is when the "BACnet
operating stack",
i.e. the communication software, is implemented directly
on the microcontroller, that is, when the eld modules can
communicate directly via BACnet
without external hard-

ware components (e.g. physical gateways). In this respect,
native Bacnet
is a standardised communication protocol,

a universal "mother tongue" used from the management
level through to the eld modules at eld level.

Chapter 10.0
This eliminates the need for additional technology (gate-
ways) and the costs that these incur and improves system
performance and interoperability.
Figure 7.12 shows the connection of two different networks
(LON with BACnet). In this example, native BACnet
is
not implemented at eld level, i.e. a protocol transforma-
tion of the LON and BACnet protocols takes place in the
gateway.
However, here the hardware costs at eld level are higher.
A very powerful CPU (central processor unit) must be used
in order that the BACnet
data communication can easily

be handled by an independent task.
For economic reasons, it should be decided from project
to project whether it is absolutely necessary to communi-
cate with native BACnet
right down to the eld level.

With its retrottable bus modules, SCHNEIDER offers
the complete BACnet, LON and Modbus service solution
down to eld level, i.e. down to the fume hood.
Figure 10.13: Retrotting of a LON bus module
6.3 Interoperability
BACnet ensures interoperability between the devices of
different manufacturers, provided that all partners involved
in the project agree upon specic BIBBS dened by the
standard. A BIBB (BACnet Interoperability Building Block)
denes which services and procedures must be supported
on the server and the client side in order to implement a
specic requirement of the system.
The PICS (Protocol Implementation Conformance State-
ment) document that belongs to the device and is produ-
ced by the manufacturer lists all supported BIBBs, object
types, character sets and communication options.
The ve BACnet interoperability classes (IOC) dene va-
rious services that are used for communication between
building automation devices. These services are divided
into the following classes:
Data sharing, DS
Alarm and event management, AE
Scheduling, SCHED
Trending, T
Device and network management, DM
The standard denes various object types as well as pro-
cedures for alarm processing.
With the aid of the BIBB list and the PICS (Protocol Imp-
lementation Conformance Statement), the planner of an
interoperable system can check whether interoperability
will be achievable.
6.4 Data transport
BACnet
offers various media for data transport, which

guarantees a high level of exibility of the entire system.
Table 10.6 summarises the various media together with
the specic standards and transmission speeds.
Table 10.6: Extract from the SNVT list for FC500
The transmission speeds of the individual media are sor-
ted from top to bottom. The same applies to the costs per
node (eld module). Ethernet is the fastest data transmis-
sion with max. 100 Mb/s, but here the highest costs per
node are incurred.
ARCNET is too expensive for eld modules (low end cont-
rollers), but it does offer very good speed potential.
LonTalk with the FTT-10A transceiver and a transmission
rate of 78,4 kB/s is an acceptable solution, however, it has
the following disadvantages: dependency on one compa-
ny and licence costs per node.

6.6.1 Network extension in bus / line structure
The bus line is laid in one strand. Connection of the no-
des is done via short stub lines (maximum 5 m). Always
install the twisted pair (A and B) individually. It is essential
to ensure the correct polarity of the bus wires.
To ensure safe transmission in networks with bus/line to-
pology, the following points must be observed:
The bus tine must be connected to bus terminators at
both ends R1 = R2 = 120 .
Connect shield to ground on one side.
The second terminator is always required.
The maximum length of the stub lines must not ex-
ceed 5 m.
The maximum cable length is 500 m.
A maximum of 32 subscribers may be connected to a
bus/line structure.
Figure 10.14: EIA RS 485 in bus/line topology
Figure 10.14 shows the bus/line topology of the EIA RS
485 standard with the maximum cable lengths.
In table 10.7 various cables suitable for the EIA RS 485
Standard are specied.
MS/TP (Master-Slave/Token-Passing) is the best compro-
mise for eld modules. The max. data transmission speed
of 76.8 kB/s is sufcient for most applications and the EIA
RS 485 interface can be implemented as a low cost solu-
tion. However, some restrictions concerning the network
structure must be taken into account and adhered to. Free
topology, as with LON, is not possible.
6.5 MS/TP (Master-Slave/Token-Passing)
The Master-Slave/Token-Passing protocol was also deve-
loped by ASHRAE and is only available for BACnet.
Connection to the eld bus is done via the inexpensive EIA
RS 485 interface. MS/TP can be operated in pure Master/
Slave mode, with token passing between equal partners
(peer to peer token passing method) or with a combination
of both these methods.
6.6 EIA RS 485 Standard
The EIA RS 485 standard denes a bidirectional bus sys-
tem with up to 32 subscribers. Because several transmit-
ters operate over a shared line, a protocol is required to
ensure that a maximum of one data transmitter is active at
any time (e.g. MS/TP). All other transmitters must be in a
state of high impedance during this time.
In the ISO standard 8482 the cabling topology is standar-
dised to a max. length of 500 metres. The subscribers are
connected to this bus cable in line topology via a max. 5
metre long stub line. It is generally necessary to terminate
the cable at bothe ends with terminating resistors (2 x 120
ohm) in order to prevent reections.
If no data transfer takes place (data transmitter inactive),
a dened quiescent level should arise on the bus system.
This is achieved by connecting line B via 1k Ohm to earth
(pull down) and line A via 1k Ohm to +5V DC (pull up).
Although intended for large distances in industrial environ-
ments, where potential shifts cannot be avoided, the EIA
RS 485 standard does not prescribe galvanic separation.
However, since the receiver components are sensitive to
shifts in earth potentials, galvanic separation, as dened
by ISO9549, is recommended for reliable installations.
During installation it is essential to install the twisted pair
(A and B) individually. It is also essential to ensure correct
polarity of the twisted pair, because incorrect polarity can
result in inversion of the data signals. Particular in the case
of problems with the installation of new end devices, trou-
bleshooting should begin by checking the bus polarity.
Always install screened cables in line (daisy chain) topolo-
gy and install the screen on one side.

7.1 Modbus
Modbus is an application protocol developed in 1979 by
Gould-Modicon for exchanging messages between eld
modules with integrated Modbus controllers.
The Modbus protocol is located on the application layer of
the OSI reference model and supports master/slave ope-
ration between intelligent devices.
The Modbus protocol denes the message type via which
the Modbus controllers communicate with one another. It
describes how a Modbus controller establishes access to
another controller via a query, how this query is answered,
and how errors are recognised and documented.
The Modbus protocol works on a query-response basis
and offers various services, which are specied by func-
tion codes. During communication, the Modbus protocol
determines how each controller learns the device address
and recognises messages that are intended for it. In addi-
tion, it determines which actions are to be carried out and
which information the Modbus controller can extract from
the ow of messages. When a response is required, this is
assembled in the controller and sent to the corresponding
station with the Modbus protocol.
The implementation of Modbus via EIA RS 485 is inexpen-
sive and is therefore suitable for internal laboratory net-
work connections. When laying the cables, it is essential
to adhere to the standards described in section 6.6.

8.1 SCHNEIDER Elektronik and
networks
Because eld bus modules for LON, BACnet and Modbus
can be retrotted at any time, the entire system is very
exible and can be cost-effectively adapted to various net-
works.
We offer the entire system from a single source, without
compatibility problems.

Chapter 10.0
9.1 Network dictionary A-Z
A
Address, also called Neuron ID, is a Neuron Chip identi-
cation number (48 bit address) that is unique worldwide
and is assigned during production (hardware address).
Among other things, it serves to identify the node during
set-up and is sent to the LON network by pressing the
service key.
B
BACnet
is a standardised protocol of ASHRAE (Ame-

rican association of HRA manufacturers). BACnet uses,
among others, LON
as a transport medium, however,

important, useful characteristics (particularly the use of
network variables) are thereby lost.
BatiBUS was one of the rst eld buses in the area of
building automation and is prevalent mostly in France. The
transmission speed is 4800 bit/s and simple, twisted pair
cabling is used as a transmission medium.
Binding is the logical link between individual nodes. The
binding determines which data is to be exchanged bet-
ween the nodes. The nodes provide their data to the LON
network in the form of network variables. During binding,
the output variable (nvo) of the transmitting node is lin-
ked to one or more input variables (nvi) of one or more
receiving nodes. This is how a dened data exchange is
assigned.
Bridges transfer the messages to the other side when the
source domain of a message corresponds to one of the
bridge domains, independent of the target of the message.
A bridge is used for connecting domains, e.g. for forwar-
ding system messages intended for all subsections.
C
Channel Networks are physically structured by routers
and repeaters - they divide the network into several chan-
nels. Channels denote a physical network segment, e.g. a
bus segment in TP/FT-10. Taking into account the physical
limitations of the underlying medium, any number of nodes
may belong to a channel.
Congured Routers transfer a valid message to the other
side when the source domain corresponds to one of the
router domains. Each side of the congured router has
its own transmission table for this purpose. In this table,
for each of the 255 possible subnets and each of the 255
groups of a domain, the transmitters that are to send a
message are marked with a transmission ag. These ta-
bles are generated by a network management tool and
permanently saved in the router EEPROM.
Using a congured router is recommended when the net-
work trafc should be purposely separated. This results
in islands with relatively high internal network trafc and
relatively little external communication. This means that
the entire system is not burdened with messages of purely
"local" character.
CSMA is an access procedure from the LAN area and
stands for Carrier Sense Multiple Access. With CSMA, the
node rst "listens" in the network before becoming active.
With CSMA/CD (Collision Detect), collisions are expected
from the start and if possible counteracted with various
processes.
LonWorks functions with predictive p-persistent CSMA
processes, which enables short response times with high
throughput rates even in large networks.
D
Domains are the largest addressing units. They are used
to implement subsystems that are fully independent of
one another, e.g. lighting system, access control (insofar
as these do not have to communicate with one another).
Thus domains are virtual networks within the physical net-
work construction. Each device can be addressed via two
domain addresses. A maximum of 255 subnets each with
127 devices (corresponding to a total of 32,385 devices)
can be assigned to a domain.
E
Echelon
is the technology supplier of the LONWORKS

technology. In December 1990 Echelon announced its
developments internationally for the rst time. The capital
for this innovative and risky development was provided by
venture capitalists in the USA, among others the semicon-
ductor manufacturers Motorola and Toshiba. Echelon's In-
ternet address is http://www.echelon.com.
EIB The European Installation Bus was further developed
for building automation technology and emerged from In-
stabus, an installation technology standard. The transmis-
sion rate is 9600 bit/s and a screened two-wire line is used
as a transmission medium.
Ethernet is local area network (LAN) technology and is
widely used in computer networks. Data transfer between
the computer systems takes place at a speed of 10 and
100 million bits per second (Mbps). Coaxial cables, twisted
pair cables and bre-optics are used as a transport medi-
um. Ethernet is the most frequently used LAN worldwide
and enables manufacturer-independent computer networ-
king.
F
Free Topology is a network topology that rst became
possible with the FTT10 transceiver. In free topology, line,
star or ring structures can be combined with one another.
This means than when planning networks, it is no longer
necessary to take linear bus structures, with their relatively
short stub lines, into consideration. However, it is essential
to adhere to the maximum transmission distances, which,
depending on the cable quality, are easily reached. The-
se limits can be overcome through the use of routers or
repeaters.

G
Groups are another form of addressing that is indepen-
dent of the domain subnet node addressing. Up to 255
groups per domain can be formed, whose members can
all be addressed through the group addressing. Any num-
ber of devices can be a member of each group, but each
device can only be a member of max. 15 groups.
I
Industrial Ethernet builds on Ethernet and is increasin-
gly becoming established at eld bus level. However, the
costs for the eld bus subscribers (nodes) are currently
still very high. An advantage is the high data transmission
rate, which enables fast reaction in real time.
Interoperability is the objective and dening attribute of
the LONWORKS technology. Independent of the selected
transmission medium, network topologies, hardware de-
tails or operating system functions, LONWORKS nodes
should be able to "play" with one another. In fact, it is lar-
gely irrelevant whether data is exchanged, for example,
via 78 kBit/s twisted pair or via RS485. At the application
program level, one does not notice these implementation
details. The developer of a LONWORKS-based system
can for the most part view and dene the design levels
hardware - software - communication structure - physical
network independently of one another.
ISO-OSI model is a model developed by ISO (Internatio-
nal Organisation for Standardization) for communication
between nodes in networks. This model was named OSI
(Open System Interconnection) and is based on the 7
communication layers described in table 10.8.
L
Learning Routers are a special type of congured router.
All messages are transmitted with group addressing. At
the same time a learning process is active. After a reset,
all transmission ags are set and thus all messages are
transmitted. The learning router checks the subnet num-
ber of each incoming message and deletes the transmis-
sion ag on the other side, so that over time two transmis-
sion tables develop, as with congured routers. However,
these tables are only stored in RAM, so are lost after each
reset. However, the tables can be read out and edited with
an appropriate tool, so that afterwards the router can be
run as a congured router. Learning routers are not as
powerful as congured routers; however, they can be in-
stalled without knowledge of the network topology and the
communication structures.
LNO LON NUTZER ORGANISATION e.V.
LNO (LON user organisation) is an association for compa-
nies, institutions and distributors who work with the LON-
WORKS technology in German speaking areas. Anyone
who develops, sells or uses devices and systems that use
the LonTalk
protocol can become a member. Members

may be legal persons, partnerships or natural persons
whose home, ofce or institute is situated in the Federal
Republic of Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Holland, Bel-
gium or Luxembourg.
The LNO is a registered association which is conducted in
accordance with German associations law. Current infor-
mation about the LNO and a list of members is available

LNS/LCA "LONWORKS Networks Services Architecture"/
"LONWORKS Component Architecture". A software plat-
form developed by Echelon with functional and data inter-
faces for the implementation of tools for LON, e.g. for hand
terminals, operating stations, for PC visualisation and PC
projection tools.
LON
is the abbreviation for Local Operating Network. The

development objective of Echelon was an 8-bit microcont-
roller, similar to an 80C51, which was expanded to include
hardware units for on-chip networking. The LON designers
had recognised that the greatest development effort in dis-
tributed systems lies in the design of the communication
interfaces. However, the developer should think about his
task and not about the implementation of data exchange
between processors and operating systems.
LonBuilder
is the high-end development system of

the company Echelon. With LonBuilder, you can emula-
te hardware, compile application software and test it af-
ter download. Modules can be made downloadable using
Flash-EEPROMs.
LONMARK
Association is an international association of

more than 200 companies which undertake the standar-
disation of LON for specic tasks and devices, with the
aim of ensuring interoperability. The content is developed
by the LONMARK Task Groups. Thus there are standards
(functional proles) for louvre control, lighting, sensors,
actuators, among others. Information about the status of
activities can be found at http://www.lonmark.org.
LonTalk
is the protocol through which the Echelon sys-

tem solution is specied. LonTalk denes how LON no-
des on the individual levels of the ISO-OSI model com-
municate with one another. LonTalk describes hardware,
operating system and compiler functions precisely, while
the implementation remains hidden - the developer should
implement his application and not levels 1 to 7.
LONWORKS
is the system name for the entire techno-

logy. This includes, for example, the Neuron chips, the
bus connection elements (transceivers), the development
tools, software packages, suppport. With LONWORKS,
decentralised information processing structures are pos-
sible that can operate without central control (e.g. SPS).
This is what makes LONWORKS different from previous
eld bus solutions.
LPT-10 Link Power
This transmission medium is also a version of twisted-pair.
Technically it corresponds to the version "free topology
FTT10", with the additional advantage that the supply vol-
tage of the devices can also be transmitted via the bus
line. This eliminates the need for a pair of wires in the ca-
ble and also reduces the danger of confusion during con-
nection (which is bus, which is current?). LPT-10 is LON-
MARK certied.
There are no advantages without disadvantages: LPT-10
requires the use of special Link Power supplies (input vol-
tage e.g. 48 - 56 V, output voltage about 42 V/1,5A), which
are usually not exactly cheap. Switch cabinets or devices
often have a 24 volt power supply anyway, in addition to
the 230 volt voltage level. Thus with Link Power, an addi-
tional voltage supply level is necessary. In addition, there
are limits regarding the load-bearing capacity - a Link Po-
wer power supply can only supply a limited number of de-
vices (this is important, for example, for devices with light-
emitting diodes or relays, which often have a higher power
requirement). The main advantages lie in easier wiring of
sensing devices and switches in the building. Link power
signals can be switched on TP/FT-10 devices, if these in-
clude the corresponding block condensers, which block off
the supply voltage.
Note: An economic efciency calculation regarding the
use of LPT-10 is necessary. Dimension the power supplies
accurately and include enough reserves for the worst case
situation for all devices in the segment! Check the LPT-10
compatibility of TP/FT-10 devices.
M
Modbus
is a standardised protocol of Gould Modicon

and was developed in 1979. It is an industrial standard,
but in future it will be replaced by more efcient standar-
dised protocols (e.g. BACnet).
N
Network variable see NV
Neuron-C is the programming language in accordance
with the ANSI-C standard for application programming
of Neuron Chips. Neuron-C includes additional operating
system functions for event-driven programming and for
network variables for process-oriented programming, as
well as more complex objects for I/O interfaces.
Neuron Chip is a specially developed microprocessor
(CPU) with a uniform, inexpensive communication con-
nection for any type of technical application at eld or au-
tomation level.
Neuron ID see Address
Node is the name for a device or a component with a
Neuron chip as a microcontroller, possibly also with exter-
nal memory and I/O functionality. Nodes are the smallest
addressing unit.
NodeBuilder

is a low-end development system from
Echelon. See LonBuilder.
NVs (network variables) are type-specic variables in the
Neuron-C programming language for the implementation
of logical communication channels between nodes.

Chapter 10.0
P
PLT-21 is a transceiver for Power Line data transmission.
In addition to the possibility to transmit data via the normal
230 volt network or other voltaged lines, the PLT-21 recei-
ver can also send and receive data via voltage-free lines.
This is particularly useful when lines that are no longer
used have been laid, but these do not meet the specicati-
ons for the application of FFT-10 transceivers. Particularly
in public power supply networks, Powerline transceivers
should be used responsibly. Sources of disturbance that
could interfere with the transmission band of the PLT-21
may appear to the transceiver to be an occupied band and
thus in the worst case completely prevent communication.
Even an old PC with a faulty switching power supply can
cause complete disruption of a network.
In such cases, the PLT-22 transceiver offers the possi-
bility to automatically change to a different transmission
frequency. However, this should only be regarded as a
chance to reduce transmission conicts; in a public power
supply network that is characterised by constantly chan-
ging conditions, it does not provide a guarantee.
Power Line provides data transmission via the 230 volt
network in accordance with CENELEC. Various manuf-
acturers offer routers that make it possible to change to
Power Line.
Prog-ID Each device includes a special software that im-
plements the application. A device may be delivered with
various software (function versions, etc.). The PROG-ID is
used to differentiate between these versions. It is a cha-
racter string that is stored in a specic place in the memo-
ry. Projection tools use the PROG-ID to differentiate bet-
ween devices with the same hardware but with different
functions. LONMARK has dened instructions as to how
the PROG-ID should be coded and used.
R
Repeaters are physical ampliers without their own pro-
cessing functions. They are used to achieve greater trans-
mission distances or when the maximum number of nodes
exceeds 64 devices per twisted pair segment.
Note: In TP/FT-10 networks, only one physical router may
be placed between two nodes. Otherwise, routers should
be congured and used in the same way as repeaters.
The repeater counts as a node, so that per segment 63
nodes + 1 repeater can be used.
It is also possible to use routers as repeaters. This elimi-
nates the restrictions imposed by physical repeaters and
also makes it possible to change media.
Routers connect adjacent subnets, whereby the router
works with addresses and protocols of Layer 3. This layer
is hardware-independent, so that routers are capable of
switching to another transmission medium. Routers can
be operated in the operating modes Repeater, Bridge,
Learning Router and Congured Router. Unlike physical
repeaters, routers that are congured as repeaters are
not subject to the limitation that only one repeater may be
placed between two nodes.
S
Service Pin is a special input/output on the node that is
used for service purposes. This pin is usually connected
by the module manufacturer to an external button and an
LED on the outside of the device. When the service button
is pressed, the Neuron Chip sends a broadcast message
containing the Neuron ID and the program ID. In this way,
a node can be logged onto a tool, for example, (assign-
ment of a physical node to a logical node in the project). As
an output, the service pin signals the current status of the
Neuron (application and conguration) and thus enables
basic diagnostics.
SNVT (Standard Network Variable Type) are type-specic
variables in the Neuron-C programming language for the
implementation of logical communication channels bet-
ween LON nodes. They have been standardised by the
LonMark Association.
Subnets are, after the domain, the next smallest addres-
sing unit. With subnet addressing, specic groups of de-
vices (e.g. those in a room or a manufacturing cell) can
be addressed. Subnets can contain a maximum of 127
devices.
T
Terminators enable correct impedance termination of a
network on the basis of twisted pair technology. Depen-
ding on the transceivers and topology used (bus or free
topology), different terminators should be used in accor-
dance with the Echelon specication. Terminators are also
sometimes integrated in devices and can, as a rule, be
activated via switches or jumpers. Lack of termination or
incorrect termination of a network does not necessarily
have an immediate, obvious effect; however, it may be the
cause of infrequently occurring communication problems.
Terminators in accordance with the specication are avai-
lable as ready-to-use components. Networks in free topo-
logy are terminated with a terminator (52.5 ). Networks in
bus/line topology are terminated with a terminator at both
ends (2 x 105 ).
TP/XF-78 Twisted Pair 78 kBit/sec
In the initial LON years, this transmission media with trans-
mission coupling was very common. Up to 64 devices can
be connected to a segment in line bus topology - the de-
vices are lined up like a pearl necklace. The length of the
bus line of a segment can be up to 2000 m. TP/XF-78 is
LONMARK certied.
Note: TP/XF-78 should no longer be used for new deve-
lopments.
19
Chapter 10.0
TP/XF-1250 Twisted Pair 1250 kBit/sec
TP/XF-78 was introduced at the same time as TP/XF-1250.
This is also a line bus with transmission coupling with up
to 64 devices per segment, but is limited to a length of 130
m ... 400 m. The considerably higher physical transmis-
sion rates only marginally increase data throughput and
response time. Thus, with a few exceptions (e.g. in time-
critical backbone buses in switch cabinets or for special
transmission tasks with large data packages), applications
are limited, particularly because special requirements are
made with regard to the details of the topology.
Caution! TP/XF-1250 is not LONMARK certied!
Follow the special wiring instructions exactly!

TP/RS-485 Twisted Pair RS-485
In the early days of LON, various device manufacturers
tried to reduce the costs for the transceivers to an absolute
minimum by using RS-485. However, there are in fact pro-
blems with RS-485, e.g. problems with galvanic separation
and with directing the earth reference potential between
different devices. The implementation of CE-compliant
RS-485 interfaces in practice involves the same effort as
with other twisted pair versions. For this reason, Echelon
no longer supports RS-485.
TP/FT-10 Twisted Pair Free Topology TP/FT-10
This is without doubt the most common transmission me-
dium nowadays. The TP/FT-10 channel allows both line
bus topology and free topology. Again, 64 subscribers can
be connected to a segment of up to 2700 m as a line bus.
The transmission rate is 78 kBit/sec. In free topolgy it is
possible to achieve network extension of up to 400 m with
64 devices. TP/FT-10 allows the greatest degree of free-
dom regarding the physical positioning. TP/FT-10 is LON-
MARK certied.
Transceivers are the bus connecting elements between
the Neuron Chip and the transmission medium. The most
important examples are: TP/XF-78, TP/XF-1250, TP/FT-
10, LPT-10, LPT-10 and PLT-21. In addition, transceivers
are available for wireless transmission or for coupling with
bre optic systems.
W
Wink is the ability of a node to draw attention to itself in
various ways (visually, audibly, etc.) after it has received a
wink message. This enables an installation tool to search
for uncongured nodes in a network and to send a wink
message to the rst node that answers. If provision is
made for this in the node's application, the node draws
attention to iself in a dened way, so that the technician
can establish an allocation to the physical node.

4.1 Robustness
Robustness of a fume hood means the guaranteed con-
tainment of a fume hood taking into account disturbance
variables. A disturbance variable is, for example, when a
laboratory worker passes by the fume hood when the sash
is open and the resulting air turbulence causes contami-
nants to escape.
An optional movement detector installed on the fume hood
records the presence of a laboratory worker in the working
area of the fume hood and signals this ventilation distur-
bance variable to the FC500 controller. In this case, the

In the course of European harmonisation, national stan-
dards for fume hoods are being replaced or supplemented
by European standards. With the establishment of the Eu-
ropean standard EN, a common platform for the member
states has been created, whereby the national interests of
the individual countries are taken into consideration to a
large extent.
The following member states actively participate in Euro-
pean laboratory standardisation on the 332 technical com-
mittee.
Denmark
Germany
Finland
France
Netherlands
Austria
Sweden
Switzerland
Spain
UK
All CEN member states usually accept a European stan-
dard EN as a national standard within 6 months.
The existing national standard is thus replaced by the Eu-
ropean standard with the same content. It is then publis-
hed in the national language.

Table 12.1 summarises the requirements that are valid in
the various countries.
A comparison of the standards shows that only in Germa-
ny no requirements are made concerning the face velocity.
In Germany the fume hoods must be type tested with the
best available technology and must be operated with the

A similar procedure is valid in Norway and Finland, howe-
ver these countries require additional minimum values for
the face velocity (0.3 m/s to 0.5 m/s).
In other countries type tests are not compulsory. The fume
hoods are tested at their location using "on-site" tests.

The European standard EN 14175, Parts 1-6 replaces the
national DIN standard for Germany. The main differences
to the national standard with regard to fume hood monito-
ring are the following points:
The back-up battery for maintaining a secure power
supply in the case of a mains voltage failure is not
required.
Generation of an optical and acoustic alarm when
the sash is pushed higher than the working opening
height of 50 cm. In this case, a mechanical catch must
be released.

With the FC500 fume hood controller, recognition takes
place fully automatically, since the position sensor already
registers the sash position.

The following points related to ventilation checks have now
been included in the European standard EN 14175:

Chapter 13.0
1.1 Introduction
In this chapter an economic efciency calculation under
various operating conditions is presented.
The following installation types and operating modes are
considered:
Installation in constant daytime/night-time
operation (1 point)
Installation in daytime/night-time operation (2 point)
Installation with SCHNEIDER fully variable controller
without an automatic sash controller
Installation with SCHNEIDER fully variable controller
with an automatic sash controller
Figure 13.1 show the different cost types. In the cost
overview of the different installation types, for reasons of
simplicity, only the investment costs (xed costs) and the
energy (variable costs) are compared. The maintenance
and operating costs as well as the servicing costs can be
disregarded in relation to the energy costs.
As reference values we can assume 5 % of the installation
costs/year for the maintenance and operating costs and
3 % of the installation costs/year for the servicing costs.
As far as energy costs are concerned, only the costs that
arise in connection with heating and cooling the air are
taken into account. The electrical operating costs of the
controller and other electrical components can also be dis-
regarded.
Figure 13.1: Cost types
2.1 Denition of the full installation
The full installation comprises 10 identically equipped la-
boratories.
The central ventilation installation has a heating and coo-
ling element for conditioning the supply air. The supply
air and the total exhaust air is regulated at overpressure
or under-pressure, i.e. both the supply air motor and the
exhaust air motor are actuated via their own frequency in-
verter.
2.2 Denition of a laboratory
The laboratory has a oor space of 60 m and a room
height of 3 m. The minimum room air exchange stipulated
by DIN 1946, Part 7 is calculated with the following rule-
of-thumb:
25m/h x m
25m per hour exhaust air volu-
me ow, multiplied by the labo-
ratory main oor space in m.
In our case, this results in a minimum exhaust air require-
ment of 1500 m/h.
The laboratory is composed of the following extracted
units:

in m/h
VMIN

1500
850 250
6 Base extractor 60 60
1 Cabinet extractor 150 150
Table 13.1: List of the extracted units
The VMIN value is only used with a controlled fume hood
or during controlled daytime/night-time operation. During
uncontrolled operation the VMAX in the room air balance
must always be taken into account.
The VMIN value can be reduced further, however this is not
recommended for reasons of robustness.
The base extractor and the cabinet extractor are equipped
with their own mechanical volume ow controller and are
designed for continuous extraction.

Chapter 13.0
3.1 Comparison of operating modes
3.1.1 Constant daytime/night-time operation
(1 point)
With this operating mode there is no switching to reduced
night-time operation (work-free time). The fume hoods are
always operated with 100% exhaust air volume. With this
operating mode the maximum operating costs are incur-
red.
3.1.2 2 point daytime/night-time operation
This operating mode is already a classic 2 point installa-
tion control method. The fume hoods are operated with
100% exhaust air volume during daytime operation. During
night-time operation and at other work-free times the fume
hoods are operated with reduced exhaust air volume. With
this operating mode a considerable savings potential of
operating costs is achieved.
3.1.3 Fully variable control without an SC500
automatic sash controller
The fume hoods are operated during daytime operation
with variable exhaust air volumes between VMIN and VMAX
depending on the position of the sash and the slide win-
dow. Without an SC500 automatic sash controller, a di-
versity of 40 % is set, i.e. on 60 % of the fume hoods the
sashes are closed and on 40 % of the fume hoods the
sashes are open. This operating mode, in comparison to
daytime/night-time operation, further reduces the opera-
ting costs.
3.1.4 Fully variable control with an SC500
automatic sash controller
The fume hoods are operated during daytime operation
with variable exhaust air volumes between VMIN and VMAX
depending on the position of the sash and slide window.
With an automatic sash controller, a diversity of 10 % is
set, i.e. on 90 % of the fume hoods the sashes are closed
and on 10 % of the fume hoods the sashes are open. In
this operating mode the maximum savings potential of
operating costs is achieved.
3.2 Diversity
Diversity means that during controlled operation not all
fume hoods are operated with the exhaust air volume
VMIN. In practice, there are always sashes and/or slide win-
dows open, whereby the controller regulates the required
exhaust air volume dependent on the sash and slide win-
dow.
The diversity can be considerably improved by the use of
a SCHNEIDER SC500 automatic sash controller, because
as a rule, all sashes are closed.
As well as the additional safety aspect, a considerable sa-
vings potential of operating costs is achieved.
The following values are taken to be practical assumpti-
ons:

Table 13.2: Diversity without and with automatic sash

Example:
At a diversity of DIV = 40 %, on 4 out of 10 fume hoods,
the sashes are open.
The exhaust air volume is calculated with the follo-
wing formula:
VEXHAUST AIR = (VMAX - VMIN) x DIV + VMIN

4.1 Assumptions for the economic efciency
calculation
The following assumptions are made:
10 identical laboratories
Laboratory according to air volume balance
Laboratory size 60 m
Daytime operation (room air exchanged 8
times=1500 m/h)
Night-time operation (room air exchanged 4
times=750 m/h)
Working time = 2600 h/year (260 days x 10 h)
Work-free time = 6160 h/year
(260 days x 14 h + 105 Tage x 24 h)
Supply air temperature: 22 C in heating mode
(50 % rel. humidity) and 18C in cooling mode
1.00 per 1000m warmed and cooled air
Installation costs: 25.00 per m for the central
ventilation system with heating and cooling elements

Chapter 13.0
Table 13.3: Air volume balance
Notes:
1)
Night-time operation is calculated using the VMIN values
of the extracted units. With these exhaust air volumes, li-
mited use of the fume hoods is also possible during night-
time operation.
2)
During night-time operation a four time room air exchange
of 50 m/h is required. The exhaust air volume is the additi-
on of the constantly extracted units (360 + 150 = 510 m/h)
and of a walk-in fume hood 1500 (250 m/h). All other fume
hoods are switched off ( = 0 m/h). If work is done during
night-time operation, the switched off fume hoods or the
entire laboratory can be switched to daytime operation.

Table 13.4: Operating costs
This comparison of operating costs clearly shows the enor-
mous savings potential of the various operating modes.
The 2 point daytime/night-time operating mode is the ab-
solute minimum for an energetically planned installation
and saves 41.8 % of the operating costs in relation to the
constant daytime/night-time operating mode (1 point).
The controlled fume hood with a diversity of 40 % (without
an automatic sash controller) saves a further 50 % of the
operating costs in comparison with the 2 point daytime/
night-time operating mode.
The controlled fume hood with a diversity of 10 % (with
an SC500 automatic controller) is the most effective ope-
rating mode and saves a total of 59.1 % of the operating
costs in comparison with the 2 point daytime/night-time
operating mode.

The investment costs for this operating mode (total cost of

Thus amortisation of the operating costs is achieved after
only approx. 7.5 months operating time.

Table 13.5: Investment costs
The comparison of investment costs is based on constant
daytime/night-time operation (1 point) and clearly shows
the enormous savings potential of the various operating
modes.
The 2 point daytime/night-time operating mode is the ab-
solute minimum for an energetically planned installation
and is regarded as the basic investment. The somewhat
higher total investment costs (47,600 ) in comparison
with the constant daytime/night-time operating mode is
amortised by the savings in operating costs, which are al-
ready achieved after approx. 2 months of operation of the
total installation.

The fully variable control operating mode (FC500-V) with
an SC500 automatic sash controller offers the greatest
savings potential of the total investment costs. Setting a
diversity factor of DIV = 10% for the ventilation system re-
sults in savings of 25,27 % of the total investment costs
or 331,550 in relation to the constant daytime/night-time
operating mode (1 point).
The fully variable operating mode offers increased safety
and well-being and also savings of the total investment
costs.

8.1 Conclusion
The operating mode fully variable control (FC500-V) with
an SC500 automatic sash controller is the safest system,
as the sash is automatically closed when no user is wor-
king at the fume hood.
Regarding both the total investment costs and the opera-
ting costs, the controlled operating mode with a diversity of
10% (SC500) offers the greatest savings potential.
SCHNEIDER's LabSystem products save investment and
operating costs and also offer the additional benet of im-
proved safety for people.
