LonWorks is a proprietarylocal operating

network communicationstechnology introduced in

1990 by Echelon Corp.

It was developed to servethe residential, commercial

andindustrial markets.

• LonWorks can communicate at high speed over numerous media including powerline carrier (PLC), twisted pair (TP), coax cable, fiber optics, RF and Infrared.

• LonWorks technology is incorporated in products through the use of a "neuron" chip and a transceiver chip (different transceiver chips are required for different media). These chips handle all the complexities of the communication protocol making the design of a LonWorks compatible product much easier. The neuron and transceiver chips are proprietary and must be purchased from Echelon Corp.

• LonWorks has already been usedwidely in industrial applications,but has not made many inroadsinto the residential market thusfar due to the high cost of the products.

CEBus Consumer Electronics Busis a communications standard

for in home networks developedby the Electronics Industry Association (EIA)

and the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association

• Approved in 1992

• CEBus is an open standard whichmeans anyone can develop products using this communications protocol. The standard coverscommunication via the 110V AC powerline (PLC),twisted pair (TP) cable, coax cable, RF and Infrared.

CEBus allows any "node" to easily communicate with any other "node" irrespective of the medium

through which the communication is sent.

• This allows CEBus products to use whichever medium might be most appropriate. Power Line Carrier (PLC) for light switches & appliances, coax for video equipment, twisted pair for thermostats and IR & RF for remote controls, are some possible examples • They will all be able to easily communicate with each other through routers, brouters and data bridges which link the PLC, TP, Coax, IR and RF mediums together.

The primary advantage of CEBus over X10 is the data transmission speed. CEBus transmits data at 10,000 bits per second regardless of the transmission media. This enables devices to stay "on-line" for a much shorter period of time thereby minimizing collisions and producing more instantaneous response.

The disadvantages of CEBus are the relatively few products currently available and the very high cost of those products.
