lonworks-LonObject
LonObjects are visible in the Nav tree when you expand the Lon device. This extra level of component hierarchy may be useful in devices that have a large number of LonMark objects. The default name for a LonObject is Typen, where n is the LonMark object type number.
Figure 37. Example of LonObject properties
You configure Lon objects in the network’s Lon Netmgmt container under the LonNetwork, which applies to any Quik Learn or add device operation. The Use Lon Objects property is available selectively, such as when issuing an ImportXml command or Learn Nv on a DynamicDevice.
In addition to the standard properties (Status and Fault Cause), two properties may be common to Lon objects. Other properties depend on the device.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Object Id | number from 0–65535 (defaults to zero (0) ) |
Identifies the LonMark object for the LonObject. It must be unique in the device among all objects.
|
| Object Type | number | Identifies a numerical LonMark object type for the LonObject, for example: 0 for the Node object and 8080 for a Unit Ventilator Controller functional profile. |
