Fibre Optics for LonWorks

Repeater / Router

 

Westermo LONWORKS TP/FT (twisted pair / free topology) products can be configured as bus, loop or star in one entire network.

 

 

The Westermo product range for LONWORKS covers fibre optic repeaters and routers which allows high data rate over long distances. 

A router is equipped with a standard router core module, thus allowing configuration and installation with tools like LonBuilder and LonMaker. 

A router can be installed as repeater, configured router or learning router.

A repeater is transparent and acts as a TP/FT-10 physical layer repeater to extend distances and protect the network against electrical interference’s.

 

These units are used to extend the transmission range between two or more LonWorks® networks on a single- or multimode fibre optic cable up to distances of 20 km (12.4 mi). It can either be a point-topoint, multidrop or a redundant ring solution. For point-to-point applications the PP-version is used. The modems have an alarm output to indicate if any failure occurs on the fibre optic link.
