<Rough Estimate of Number of Groups Connected >
(Assuming that acknowledged service is 20 items per
second on a 30-second interval data collection cycle.)
- Acknowledged Service (possible communication volume): 20 items/second
This is one of the performance features of a Interface for LONWORKS
®
. It can process 20 items per second.
- 30-second interval data collection cycle
This is the time interval whereby device data (status) is collected from the central monitoring panel.
In this case, the data regarding the connected A/C units is collected in 30 seconds. This figure differs with respect to
the specifications of the central monitoring panel.

(30 seconds when not specified.)
Data is collected 20 items per second for seconds. Therefore, the total number of
control items is calculated in a following manner:
T = 20
×
= items
If the number of control items per group is
, the number of groups connectable is:
n = T
÷
(No. of control items per group) =
÷
= groups

Remarks
23 items (All) 26 groups
- One LON can monitor up to 600 items.
- The maximum number of control and monitoring
items is 23 per A/C unit. If the number of control
and monitoring items per A/C unit is assumed as
‘n’, the number of A/C groups connectable would
be:
<Note: The maximum No. of A/C groups is 64.>
20 items 30 groups
18 items 33 groups
16 items 37 groups
15 items 40 groups
12 items 50 groups
10 items 60 groups
9 items 64 groups
