ORKS
Bus Wiring
Connection between the Distributed I/O modules and the
CPU are made from the L
ON W ORKS connector module
XSL511. The L ON W ORKS bus is a 78-kilobit serial link that
uses transformer isolation so that the bus wiring does not
have a polarity; that is, it is not important which of the two
L
ON W ORKS bus terminals are connected to each wire of the
twisted pair.
The L
ON W ORKS bus can be wired in daisy chain, star, loop or
any combination thereof as long as the maximum wire length
requirements given below are met. The recommended
configuration is a daisy chain with two bus terminations. This
layout allows for maximum L
ON W ORKS bus length, and its
simple structure presents the least number of possible
problems, particularly when adding on to an existing bus.

NOTES: The cable types listed above are as recommended
by Echelon in their FTT-10A User Guide. The cable
recommended by Honeywell is the level IV, 22
AWG, solid core, nonshielded cable. Belden part
numbers are 9H2201504 (plenum) and 9D220150
IMPORTANT
Do not use different wire types or gauges on the
same L
ON W ORKS network segment. The step
change in line impedance characteristics would
cause unpredictable reflections on the bus.
NOTE: In the event that the limit on the total wire length is
exceeded, then FTT physical layer repeaters
(FTT 10A) can be added to interconnect segments
and increase the overall length by an amount equal
to the original specification for that cable type and
bus type for each repeater used. For example,
adding repeaters for a doubly-terminated bus using
JY (St) Y 2x2x0.8 cable increases the maximum
length 3000 ft (900 m) for each repeater.
On the Excel 500-XCL5010 controller, the L ON W ORKS bus
connections are located on the communication module as
shown in Fig. 78:

It is recommended that ferrules not be used to
terminate stranded wires to be inserted in the
Distributed I/O Terminal blocks spring-clamp
terminals.
The FTT specification includes two components that must be
met for proper system operation. The distance from each
transceiver to all other transceivers and to the termination
must not exceed the maximum node-to-node distance. If
multiple paths exists, the maximum total wire length is the
total amount of wire used.

L ON W ORKS Bus Termination
Depending upon the configuration, either one or two
termination modules are required for terminating a L
ON W ORKS
bus with FTT devices on it. The following two different
L
ON W ORKS termination units are available for this purpose:
• 209541B L ON W ORKS Bus Termination Module (see Fig.
79 and Fig. 80) and
• XAL-Term L ON W ORKS connection and termination
module (see Fig. 81), which can be mounted on DIN rails
and in fuse boxes.
