U10/U20 USB Network Interface
The U10 and U20 USB network interfaces for PCs connect LNS®-enabled integration and development tools to LonWorks® networks. The U10 connects through a LonWorks free topology channel and is fully compatible with link powered channels. The U20 connects through a LonWorks power line channel and may also connect through 10.8-18Vdc power lines without a coupling circuit, or to virtually any powered line with a customer-supplied coupling circuit/power supply.
- Low-cost USB 2.0 formats with plug-and-play drivers for Microsoft® Windows® XP, 2000, and Server 2003 provide the highest possible network throughput and performance
- Compatible with OpenLDV™ applications and the LonScanner™ Protocol Analyzer
