Programming Honeywell LON controllers?

[flyin90]

What software programs (Lonmaker, Lonspec, etc.) will allow me to program Honeywell LON controllers?

[skwsproul]

Different HW controllers require different software. More specific please.

[flyin90]

I will have to get the exact # from a controller. Its on a WSHP if that helps. I know it is a LON controller.

[skwsproul]

WSHP?

[flyin90]

Water source heat pump

[skwsproul]

Oh Never mind. Dont do a lot of those. Could be xl10.

[skwsproul]

Describe the controller.

[flyin90]

What programs do you know of that would configure or program this controller?

[skwsproul]

Lonspec, E-Vision, Care, Tridium AX to name a few.Is there a front end or jace on site or is this a stand alone.

[flyin90]

Front end and a jace on site. The controller is white, rectangular, i/o's on the right and left, front pulls off and board disconnects from the backplate with the cover leaving the wiring terminals and backplate.

[skwsproul]

Thats an xl10. Should be able to view the configuration in the jace/front end. You will need admin access to it.

[flyin90]

Can the config be changed through the front end? Any limitations to programming through the front end? sorry to drill so many questions but thanks for the help.

Depends on the jace. NP try to get more info on the jace, could be easy if it is an ax jace with the proper wizards loaded. Otherwise you can unplug the bus and suck it up into lonspec and check it out that way, just have to be careful not to change any nodes or lonlinks to it just use the info to check it out and do not download or commision it, and be sure to power it down before you put it back on the bus(just a precaution). Not recommended if you are not familiar with lon, if you build a network and give it the wrong address and do not know how to fix it in the jace you will have effectivly removed it from the system.
