A Complete Control Ecosystem
Combining Pyxos and LonWorks networks provides greater benefits than either technology can on its own.
The LonWorks control networking platform is used worldwide for almost every control, monitoring, and sensing application, including such diverse applications as:
- Building (HVAC/Lighting) system controls
- Elevator controls
- Pitch and yaw monitoring of high-speed passenger trains
- Controls within mass transit subway trains
- Newborn baby location monitoring and maternity ward security
|
- Industrial control systems
- Steering controls on nuclear frigates
- Satellite ground station monitoring
- Fiberoptic switching station monitoring and control
- Home controls
- and more
|
And yet, a vast world of networking has still gone unexplored. The basic requirements of these networks include high speed, high reliability, extremely simple or self-installation, highly flexible wiring, and media independence. This is where the Pyxos platform fits in.
The Pyxos platform is unique among sensor networks: It's the only solution designed as part of a complete control ecosystem, able to use a LonWorks network as an ultra-reliable control-and-communications backbone between Pyxos sensor networks. Every sensor or device that supplies environmental information to control networks can now be brought into a LonWorks control application, extending the capabilities of the control application:
- You can use existing LonWorks software tools to install and manage Pyxos sensor networks or machines through the Pyxos Pilot. This preserves your company's investment in the LonWorks platform and leverages existing channel expertise.
- A Pyxos network can be used as an embedded control network within every device in a LonWorks network, controlling the sensors and actuators that make up machines.
