The Pyxos FT Embedded Control Networking Platform
Evaluate Pyxos FT technology, develop applications, and build devices.
The new Pyxos platform extends the power of LonWorks control networks to the smallest devices, even the sensors and actuators inside machines. Built upon
tiny, low-cost Pyxos FT chips, it automatically configures itself — without special
tools or skilled labor — into a
high-speed control network. Check out the review of the Pyxos platform in Circuit Cellar magazine. |

| The Pyxos platform is the only sensor networking solution designed to be part of a complete control ecosystem. Other solutions, especially RF-dependent ones, lack a control infrastructure. Because Pyxos networks work
seamlessly with LonWorks control networks, manufacturers can easily connect their products to existing automation applications for remote monitoring and
control. Together, LonWorks and Pyxos networks create a synergistic system, with LonWorks networks providing the ultra-reliable backbone for any number of Pyxos based machines and sensor networks. (Watch a Flash demo of the Pyxos platform.) |
High-Performance Solutions
Pyxos networks are perfect for high-performance
applications: They support data bit rates up to
312.5 kbps and use deterministic signaling to scan
all data points at least every 25 ms. High-speed
signaling and flexible data types let you use
Pyxos FT networks for:
- Closed-loop controls in process and industrial applications
- Vehicular controls
- Fault monitors
- Propulsion controls
- Elevator cab and floor call controls
|
- Security and fire/life safety devices
- Burner and boiler controls
- Lighting systems
- HVAC systems
- Office automation equipment
- and more
