• Up to 64 FTT-10 transceivers, or 128
LPT-10 transceivers, are allowed per
network segment.
• Both types of transceivers may be
used on a given segment, provided
that the following constraint is met:
(2 x number of FTT-10 transceivers) +
(number of LPT-10 transceivers)
≤128.
System
Specifications
Free topology system specifications and
transmission specifications are described
below. Both specifications should be met to
ensure proper operation.
The transmission specification depends on
such factors as resistance, mutual
capacitance and the velocity of propagation.
The system designer may choose from a
variety of cables, depending on cost,
availability, and desired performance.
Performance may vary with cable type.
Contact Echelon for cable types and the
characterization of system performance.

• The average temperature of the wire
must not exceed 55° C (131° F),
although individual segments of wire
may be as hot as 85° C (185° F).
Danfoss recommends the use of shielded LonWorks
communication cable for instance Belden 8719. See
also section 12 Plug in terminal Connector.
