Hardware Step-by-Step Installation

1

Verify that the PC is connected to the L

ON

W

ORKS

network and that you can

run LonMaker for Windows and the HMI examples as documented in Chapter 3
of Getting Started with the L

ON

W

ORKS

System Starter Kit

.

2

Verify that TCP/IP networking is installed and running on the PC. (See your
network administrator or the Windows TCP/IP networking documentation for
information on setting up Windows TCP/IP networking.)

3

Connect both the PC and the

i

.LON 1000 to the 10BaseT hub using standard

10BaseT cables. (One such cable is provided with the

i

.LON 1000.) Figure 2.2,

above, shows just the PC and

i

.LON 1000 connected to the hub. For the

examples described in this document, an isolated TCP/IP network is
recommended. This avoids conflicts with the existing TCP/IP infrastructure at
your location. See your TCP/IP network administrator for more information.

4

Connect the

i

.LON 1000 to the L

ON

W

ORKS

network using a short length of

twisted pair cable. The cable should be either cat 5 wire or Level 4 wire as
described in the Junction Box and Wiring Guidelines for Twisted Pair
LONWORKS Networks.

)

5

Strip approximately 4mm of insulation away from the ends of the wire; attach
one end of the twisted pair to the orange Weidmuller connector included with
the

i

.LON 1000 and the other end to terminal 3 & 4 of the right-most LonPoint

module on your DIN rail, as pictured in figure 2.2.

6

Power ON all devices.

Your network should now look similar to the network pictured in figure 2.2.
