140NOL911X0 Quantum LonWorks Network Option Modules

Overview

The NOL modules provide connectivity between a Modicon Quantum controller and

a control network based on Echelon’s LonWorks technology. Once the NOL module

has been installed in a Quantum backplane and configured, it can be bound to an

existing LonWorks network, and installed as a standard node.

NOTE: The NOL module requires a valid LonWorks configuration file (.XIF) loaded

into it to define the LonWorks network variables to which it will be bound.

NOTE: You must have a LonWorks compliant network management tool, such as

Metra Vision, to install an NOL module on a LonWorks network.
