LonWorks® Gateway
Figure 40
LONWorks® Gateway is a “Smart Equipment”
networking solution for McDonald's, utilizing existing
power lines to transmit data instead of Ethernet
cabling. The LONWorks® Gateway will collect data
from the equipment and send information to a
computer in the back room. Users will be able to
monitor all “Smart Equipment” from a centralized
console. “Smart Enabled“ units will have the ability
to change programming/set up in the equipment.
Currently, the device is not activated or being used.
The gateway is installed in our equipment near the
power entry point. A separate 40VA transformer and
a Corcom filter provide the power to the LON®
Gateway, using 2-1/4” spade terminals. This option
is for future use to activate the gateway, and is not
being used at this time.
LED Lights:
PKD (Packet Detect) - Light flashes when receiving
messages.
SVC (Service) - Steady flashing means unit is
deactivated.
