Description
The PCLTA-21 Network Adapter is a high-performance LonWorks interface for personal
computers equipped with a 3.3V or 5V 32-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
interface and a compatible operating system. Designed for use in LonWorks control
networks that require a PC for monitoring,
managing, or diagnosing the network, the PCLTA-21 adapter is ideal for industrial control,
building automation, and process control applications. The PCLTA-21 adapter features an
integral twisted pair transceiver, downloadable memory, a network management interface,
and plug-and-play capability with Microsoft Windows 98/2000 and Windows XP.
Models 74501R, 74502R, 74503R, and 74504R are compliant with the European Directive
2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances (RoHS) in
electrical and electronic equipment.
The PCLTA-21 adapter provides both LNS network services interface (NSI) functionality
for use with LNS tools, and Microprocessor Interface Program (MIP)-compatible network
interface functionality for use with LonManager® API-based tools or OpenLDV drivers.
Installation software is included with each PCLTA-21 adapter or may be downloaded from
the Download Center of the Echelon web site. The software includes a control panel and
driver for Microsoft Windows 98/2000 and Windows XP. The control panel provides a
convenient means of setting and modifying installation parameters, diagnosing card
operation, and displaying error messages. The adapter supports plug-and-play operation,
simplifying installation.
The NSI mode of the PCLTA-21 adapter is used with applications based on the LNS
network operating system such as the LonMaker Tool, or the LNS DDE Server.
