Gateway
Wiring
The LCBS Connect Gateway and Controller use a Free Topology Transceiver (FTT) architec-
ture which supports polarity insensitive and free topology wiring. This allows for any mixture
of wiring topologies (Daisy Chain preferred) and simplifies network expansion by eliminating
restrictions on wiring routing, splicing and device placement.
The LCBS Connect Gateway can support up to THIRTY Controllers. The local and remote user
interfaces will display the number of discovered controllers on the network for easy trouble
shooting. The LCBS Connect network is flexible and convenient to install and maintain, but it
is important to carefully plan the network layout and create and maintain accurate documen-
tation. For advanced network configurations, including the use of an end-of-line terminator
(209541B), refer to ‘LonWorks® Bus Wiring User Guide’ (742865).
DAISY CHAIN
Recommended Wire
The LCBS Connect network includes two rules to be met for proper system operation:
1 The distance from each device to all other devices must not exceed the maximum device-
to-device distance.
2 The maximum full network wire length is the total amount of wire connected per network
segment.
