The Heart of LonWorks®
The Neuron Chip, a unique 8-Bit µC including 3 CPU cores which enables you to
build flexible communication between Sensors and actors in a multi-master
network called LonWorks®.
The Neuron Chip
The Neuron Chip contains three 8-bit CPUs, on-board memory, general
purpose I/O pins, and a complete, interoperable implementation of the
ANSI/EIA709.1-A-1999 Control Network Protocol standard.
Neuron Chips provide the logic for Echelon’s LonWorks control
networks, an open, interoperable control networking standard that enables users
to connect a broad range of LonWorks compatible products — from motors,
switches, and valves, to security systems, light switches, and heating and
air-conditioning systems — in a peer-to-peer networked environment.
Example for Building Automation:
Toshiba has been a Neuron Chip partner since the introduction of Neuron
Chips in 1992. Please find here the short form brochure of the
Neuron Chip to give you a more advanced overview of the technical
performance.
