第4單元 LonMaker 網路規劃與設計 課程大綱 4-1 Architecture 4-2 Organization 4-3 Commissioning a LonWorks Network 4-4 Summary LonMaker 簡介 LonMaker是一套專門建構、設計、維護及管理LonWorks控制網路的系統軟體。 當LonWorks的控制節點規劃完成後，即可開始使用LonMaker圖控軟體來架設LonWorks網路系統，設定節點間之網路介質及連線狀態。並利用功能區塊來連結模組間相互動作的網路變數。 在LonMaker圖控軟體中，將功能區塊中的各網路變數動作關聯起來後，系統便可利用這些網路變數的互動來控制LonWorks設備。 LonMaker圖控軟體 4-1 Architecture Architecture User Interface Visio : handles the drawing environment Network Management/Design LonMaker : creates and manages the Network Database 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Network Operating System LonWorks Network Services (LNS) : the network operating system LonMaker Integration Tool Design a LonWorks Network Commission a LonWorks Network Monitor a LonWorks Network Test a LonWorks Network Maintain a LonWorks Network Document a LonWorks Network Customize LonMaker Environment Manage LonMaker Resources Use LonWorks Databases 4-2 Organization LonMaker Shapes Using Subsystems An Infrastructure Subsystem Supernodes Using Layers Customizing the User Interface Navigating the Network Design LonMaker Shapes Channel: The physical media devices communicate on Router: Isolates traffic, connects different media, …… Device: LonWorks node Functional Block: Logical representation of device function(s) and network variables Using Subsystems Breaks a network up into more manageable sizes Groups devices Provides a logical hierarchy An Infrastructure Subsystem Top-Level Subsystem Includes: ? All channels ? All routers ? LNS Network Interface Device ? Subsystem Shapes Provides a single place for managing the physical hierarchy of the network Supernode A Subsystem shape with custom network variable interfaces Can connect to other Supernodes or function blocks Simplifies the design of a network that has complex sub-systems that need to communicate with each other Using Layers Three layers: ? physical ? logical ? data Hide parts of the drawing you don’t need Reduce clutter Add useful information (i.e. wallpaper floor-plans)
