Overview
Follow the steps in this document to integrate one or more third party LonWorks controllers using an i-Vu®
Link/Open Link. See the i-Vu® Link/Open Link Installation and Start-up Guide for installation and networking
instructions.
LonWorks port S2
Module driver drv_ivulink_lon_6-00-082*
drv_ivuopenlink_std_6-00-082*
Read/write capability Can read from and write to the third-party equipment
Third party points supported 500
Supported equipment Any device that supports the LonWorks protocol using
SNVT's**
Network media type EIA-232 to SLTA-10 network adapter
Quantity of devices you can
physically connect to the i-Vu®
1 LonWorks network segment with up to 64 LonWorks
devices, daisy-chained
Link/Open Link
You can download the latest drivers from the Carrier Control Systems Support Site
http://www.hvacpartners.com/. Check the latest bulletin releases for new or updated drivers.
** UNVT's and nci SNVT's are proprietary and not supported.
The i-Vu® Link/Open Link drivers support LonWorks devices connected to Port S2 and BACnet or Modbus devices
connected on the Ethernet port simultaneously. The third party point count for the i-Vu® Link/Open Link is the
total of the 2 ports.
You need 1 adapter for each i-Vu® Link/Open Link
that is connected to a LonWorks network segment.
Make sure you order the model that matches your
network topology. See the Echelon website
(http://www.echelon.com) for your local Echelon
sales contact.
You can damage the SLTA-10 if it does not have its
own isolated power supply.

with 9-pin connectors
and an S2-DB9 adapter (purchase S2DB9 from Carrier)
To connect the i-Vu® Link/Open Link to its SLTA-
10. You can buy an EIA-232/RS-232 cable with
connectors or buy 4-conductor cable and wire your
own connections.

3 Configure LonWorks points using the LonWorks Integration Tool
○ The wizard will display a table of NV's. On the row for the SNVT element you want to read from or write to,
click the Microblock Name field to select the microblock that will do the reading or writing. For example,
to read nvoSpaceTemp (SNVT105, element 0), select the ANI you named Space Temp in your control
program.
○ To command a switch SNVT (SNVT 95), use a BNO microblock to write to element 1 of the SNVT.
1 Verify that the latest control programs have been downloaded into the i-Vu® or Field Assistant application.
2 On the i-Vu® or Field Assistant navigation tree, select the third-party controllers for the i-Vu® Link/Open Link.
3 Select
page >
tab.
Use PuTTY, a free open source terminal emulation program that works with all Windows operating systems, to
capture communication between the controller and the LonWorks device into a text file.
• Download and install PuTTY from the PuTTY website
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html).
• Get the Carrier control module's IP address.
• Get the longest microblock refresh time in the control program that has the error you are troubleshooting. In
the i-Vu® or Field Assistant interface, view the control program's
all the refresh times.
1 Connect your computer's Ethernet port to the control module's Ethernet port using one of the following:
• A CAT5 or higher Ethernet crossover cable
• A hub and a CAT5 or higher Ethernet straight-through cable
2 Ping the Carrier control module to verify communications between the control module and the computer you
are using to get this capture.
3 On the i-Vu® or Field Assistant navigation tree, right-click the controller, select
