LonWorks® – The Next Generation Control Networking platform
The modern automation applications demand distributed intelligent monitoring control devices across large area along with an efficient low cost network backbone.
The LonWorks® control network is now a Global ISO/IEC standard and has already been adopted by the world’s leading standards organizations.
The LonWorks platform is a powerful, pervasive solution for today’s advanced control networking systems. It’s the foundation for an open, interoperable system in which products and solutions from the world’s leading companies are brought together in a simple, straightforward implementation that integrates many system components into one complete solution – with no system lock-in.
To date, more than 350,000 LonWorks systems and over 100 million LonWorks devices have been installed worldwide. LonWorks systems have saved companies tens of millions of dollars in energy costs, installation time and money, and long-term service costs. Case studies have shown that a LonWorks system can save as much as 50% on the initial installation costs of a traditional home-run wired system, while integrating systems and reducing system complexity can provide additional savings through energy reduction. A single-system interface is smarter, more cost-effective, and easier to maintain than multiple, non-integrated systems – and that’s one of the reasons why organizations large and small are choosing LonWorks open systems over closed systems.
LonWorks is a part of the course curriculum across major universities in Europe, China etc.
Some of the applications which benefit the use of LonWorks are:
- Energy Management.
- Intelligent Street light control.
- Utility Automation / Advanced Metering Infrastructure.
- Intelligent Building Management System.
- Transportation Automation.
- Home Automation.
