Introduction
The LonPoint System is a family of products designed to integrate both
new and legacy sensors and actuators into cost-effective, interoperable,
control systems for building and industrial applications. Designed to
take best advantage of the L ON W ORKS ® Network Services (LNS)
operating system, L ON M ARK ® interoperability, and the distributed
processing capability of the Neuron ® Chip and LonTalk ® protocol, the
LonPoint System provides a truly distributed control architecture that
reduces installation time, lowers installation and life-cycle costs, and can
be economically integrated into applications both large and small.
