A range of multi-protocol routers
LonWorks® Oxtopus Router
The range
Oxtopus contains in the same housing 2 independent routers LonWorks® (EIA-709 and EIA-852) and Modbus (EIA-485).
Oxtopus offers a great modularity with 4 wired ports that have a wide range of protocol combinations.
LonWorks® Oxtopus
The number of TP/FT ports is between 1 and 4 and can be determined according to the project’s needs with LonWorks and / or Modbus ports.
Field bus security
The unique function of on-going impedance measurement of bus lines gives a diagnosis with DELs when the router is settled and with Modbus IP registers when it is in supervision.
Time schedules
In order to be as closed as possible to the field modules, the « Scheduler » option offers 10 time schedules with Lon variables inputs and outputs. A BACnet supervision manages schedules and values.
Fonction Switch LonWorks
The Oxtopus router on the LonWorks protocol can be used as a switch. This function, which does not require installation, filters the protocol addresses to limit traffic and simplifies the installation of equipment on fieldbuses.
Powerful processor
The sensor’s core is designed around a 120MHz ARM processor with 128Kb RAM and 1Mb Flash.

Implementation
Architecture: LonWorks® Oxtopus features
This architecture was designed from an Oxtopus router into 3 versions: 3 ports TP/FT LonWorks®, 1 port Modbus RTU master and Scheduler option.
LonWorks® Oxtopus has 10 scheduled BACnet objects associated to 10 LonWorks functional blocks, each one of them manipulating the 7 most used variables in BM. The Lon node is settled with all LNS tools such as NL220, LonMaker or NLFacilities. The user’s interface for time schedules and associated values is directly managed by supervision in BACnet. Each LonWorks functional block has input variables that allow forcing or testing on output variables.
LonWorks® Oxtopus talks in Modbus RTU with sub-meters or measuring station ensuring a transparency of orders in Modbus. An integrated diagnosis gives the active and present Slaves list, each Slave’s state, errors and communication timeouts.
