Description
The LPT-11 Link Power Twisted Pair Transceiver provides a simple, cost-effective method of
adding a network-powered LonWorks transceiver to any Neuron® Chip-based control system.
The link power system sends power and data on a common twisted wire pair, and allows the
user to install LPT-11 transceivers with virtually no topology restrictions. Power is supplied by
a customer-furnished nominal 48VDC power supply, flows through the LPI-10 Link Power In-
terface Module where it is regulated to 42.4VDC, and then passes onto the twisted wire pair.
The LPT-11 transceiver eliminates the need to use a local power supply at each node since
node power is sent from a central power supply over the same twisted wire pair that handles
network communications.
The LPT-11 transceiver consists of a Single In-Line Package (SIP) containing a 78kbps differen-
tial Manchester coded communication transceiver, a power supply that extracts power from
the twisted pair network, and connections for the Neuron Chip Communications Port (CP)
lines and twisted pair network.
The LPT-11 transceiver supports free topology wiring, freeing the system installer from the
need to wire in a bus topology. Star, bus, and loop wiring are all supported by this architec-
ture. Free topology wiring reduces the time and expense of system installation by allowing
the wiring to be installed in the most expeditious manner. It also simplifies network expansion
by alleviating the need for the installer to follow strict rules about stub lengths.

capability of the LPT-11 transceiver elimi-
nates the need for local power supplies
at each node, resulting in equipment and
labor cost savings.
Using the LPT-11 transceiver can save thou-
sands of hours of development time com-
pared with designing a custom transceiver.
The transceiver is designed to comply with
FCC Part 15, Level B, and CISPR 22 Level
B regulations, minimizing time consuming
and expensive laboratory transceiver test-
ing. As a UL, CSA, and TÜV recognized
component, the LPT-11 transceiver can be
integrated into a product with minimal ad-
ditional safety testing. The transceiver is
small enough to fit into virtually any appli-
cation, and is economically priced for OEM
applications of any volume.
Echelon offers a comprehensive range of
development tools, network interfaces,
routers, and network services tools to sim-
plify the task of designing products using
the LPT-11 transceiver. Technical support
for the transceiver is available through
Echelon’s LonSupport™ Premier technical
assistance program.

Should it be necessary to add more nodes
or wire runs in excess of 500 meters, link
power segments can be interconnected by
a router or a physical layer repeater.
Model 50040R-02 is compliant with the
European Directive 2002/95/EC on the re-
striction of the use of certain hazardous
substances (RoHS) in electrical and elec-
tronic equipment. The LPT-11 transceiver
includes an integral switching power supply
that requires minimal external components
to furnish +5VDC at up to 100mA. This
current is typically used to power a Neuron
Chip and application electronics, sensors,
actuators, and displays. The high current
