8 Connecting to the LonWorks
Network
Once communication to the energy meter is set up and verified and the
Xenta 913 is installed on the LonWorks network, you can connect the
signals through the Xenta 913 to another device, in the example RTU4.
In XBuilder, the signals from the energy meter are connected to signals
in RTU4. The connections are made using connection objects or multi-
connection objects added in XBuilder. After sending the XBuilder
project (the gateway application) to the Xenta 913, the signals are trans-
ferred at regular intervals between the devices.
8.1 Inserting a LonWorks Network in TAC XBuilder
At this stage you insert the part of the LonWorks network you need, in
the example RTU4.
The network is described in Chapter 2, “Planning the Project”, on
page 19, and the database is located in the folder
C:\ProjectACME\VistaDb.
