The LonWorks platform lets companies build smart, connected products and solutions that provide the comfort, security, and automation that millions of people rely on every day. In building systems like lighting and air conditioning; security applications like maternity ward baby monitoring; and automation systems like subway doors, lights, and signage, the LonWorks platform is the underlying control networking technology.

What makes a LonWorks based control network different from other control networks is the intelligence built into each LonWorks device. This lets each device respond to external events, act on network conditions, and conduct its own localized function — without needing a central controller. LonWorks devices also communicate directly with every other LonWorks device on the network. It is this set of attributes that make a LonWorks control network a smart network.

Introducing LonWorks 2.0

Make your LonWorks enabled devices more powerful and more capable, and lower your development and node costs — with LonWorks 2.0. Whether you manufacture smart devices or integrate/install smart networks, LonWorks 2.0 — our next generation of LonWorks products — offers everything you need to design, develop, and install control systems and smart networks:

• A next-generation microprocessor — the Neuron 5000 Processor — that's up to 8x faster than previous designs, and supports more-complex automation applications
• Next-generation database and installation tools — the LNS FX Network Operating System and the LonMaker FX Installation Tool — that speed and streamline the installation process for smart networks
• Next-generation development tools — the Mini FX Evaluation Kit and the NodeBuilder FX Development Tool — that also work with previous-generation designs and offer a seamless path from low-cost evaluation tools to more-sophisticated development environments
• An ISO/IEC international communications standard built into every product
• Full compatibility with existing LonWorks networks
