FTT-10A Free Topology Twisted Pair Transceiver Model 50051 and 50051R Description The FTT-10A Free Topology Twisted Pair Transceiver provides a simple, cost-effective method of adding a LONWORKS transceiver to any Neuron® Chip-based control system. A replacement for the popular FTT-10 transceiver1, the FTT-10A transceiver supports polarity insensitive, free topology wiring, freeing the system installer from the need to wire using a bus topology. Star, bus, and loop wiring are all supported by this architecture. 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 eliminating restrictions on wire routing, splicing, and node placement. The FTT-10A transceiver consists of an isolation transformer that is integrated with a 78kbps differential Manchester coded communication transceiver. Pins are provided for connection to the Neuron Chip Communications Port (CP) and clock lines, +5V power, and the twisted pair network. The pins are keyed to prevent accidental reversal during mounting. The FTT-10A transceiver provides automatic detection of the input clock frequency at 5, 10, and 20MHz. The transceiver is housed in an encapsulated plastic shell which contains the transformer and signal processing electronics. The compact package is only 7.2mm (0.28 inches) high and is ideal for use in very low profile applications such as DIN packs. The sealed housing protects the transceiver should conformal coating or other forms of environmental sealing be required on the printed circuit assembly. t Complete LONWORKS® transformer-isolated, free topology communication transceiver t Replacement for the FTT-10 transceiver1 t Compatible with the FTT-10 Free Topology Transceiver and LPT-10 Link Power Transceiver; t Differential Manchester coded signaling for polarity insensitive network wiring t 78 kilobits per second bit rate up to distances of 500 meters (free topology), or 2700 meters (doubly terminated bus) worst case t Supports free topology star, bus, and loop wiring t Automatic clock detection at 5, 10, or 20MHz t Designed to comply with FCC and EN55022 Level B EMI requirements t UL, CSA, TÜV Recognized component t LONMARK® certifiable for interoperability The FTT-10A transceiver is compatible with Echelon's LPT-10 Link Power Transceiver, and these transceivers can communicate with each other on a single twisted pair cable. This capability provides an inexpensive means of interfacing to nodes whose current or voltage requirements would otherwise exceed the capacity of the link power segment. When equipped with an FTT-10A transceiver, these nodes can be operated from a local power supply without the need for additional electrical isolation from the link power network. Model 50051R complies with the European Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment. Model 50051 is the old leaded version of FTT-10A Free Topology Twisted Pair Transceivers. Typical Free Topologies Supported by the FTT-10A Free Topology Transceiver Free Topology Channel Illustrating FTT-10A and LPT-10 Transceiver Compatibility & Network Expansion Using Physical Layer Repeaters The FTT-10A transceiver also provides electrical isolation for I/O devices that are grounded, allowing such devices to be used on a link power network segment. Each segment of a link power network utilizes a non-isolated design with a single ground point at the LPI-10 Link Power Interface. Proper operation requires that the integrity of a single point ground be maintained throughout the segment, including I/O devices that are connected to a Neuron Chip. In many applications, I/O devices are grounded to meet either functional requirements or safety regulations. The transformer of the FTT-10A transceiver electrically isolates the node from the segment, allowing devices connected to the node to be grounded without impairing communications. A twisted pair channel may be comprised of multiple segments separated by physical layer repeaters. A physical layer repeater permits a twisted pair network to grow inexpensively to encompass many more nodes or longer wire distances than would otherwise be possible. The FTT-10A transceiver includes a physical layer repeater feature that allows LonTalk® data to be exchanged between network segments by interconnecting two or more FTT-10A transceivers; FTT-10A-to-LPT10 physical layer repeaters require the addition of an external logic circuit. If the repeater includes an LPT-10 transceiver, then the internal power supply of the LPT-10 transceiver can power the FTT-10A transceiver. Using the FTT-10A transceiver can save thousands of hours of development time compared with a custom-designed transceiver. The transceiver is designed to comply with both FCC and EN55022 EMI requirements, minimizing time consuming and expensive testing. As a UL, CSA, and TÜV Recognized component, the FTT-10A transceiver can be integrated into a product with minimal additional safety testing. The transceiver is small enough to fit into virtually any application, 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 simplify the task of designing products using the FTT-10A transceiver. Technical support for the transceiver is available through Echelon's LonSupport™ Premier technical assistance program. Specifications Function Data Communications Type Network Polarity Isolation Between Network and 0-60Hz, 60 seconds 0-60Hz, continuous Input Supply Voltage Supply Current: Transmit mode EMI ESD Radiated Electromagnetic Susceptibility Fast Transient/Burst Immunity Surge Immunity Listings Clock Rates Transmission Speed Number of Transceivers Per Segment number of LPT-10 transceivers Network Wiring Network Length in Free Topology3 Free topology, transformer-isolated twisted pair transceiver Differential Manchester codin Polarity insensitive 1000Vrms 277Vrms 2 +5VDC ±5% Receive mode 5mA maximum 20mA maximum Designed to comply with FCC Part 15 Level B and EN55022 Level B Designed to comply with IEC1000-4-2, Level 4 Designed to comply with IEC1000-4-3, Level 3 Designed to comply with IEC1000-4-4, Level 4 Designed to comply with IEC1000-4-5, Level 3 UL 1950, CSA C22.2 No. 950, TÜV EN60950 Automatically detects 5, 10, or 20MHz input clock supplied by Neuron Chip 78 kilobits per second Up to 64 22 to 16AWG twisted pair; see User's Guide for qualified cable types 1000m (3,280 feet) maximum total wire with one repeater 500m (1,640 feet) maximum total wire with no repeaters 500m (1,640 feet) maximum node-to-node distance Network Length in Doubly-Terminated Bus Topology3 5400m (17,710 feet) with one repeater 2700m (8,850 feet) with no repeaters Maximum Stub Length in Doubly-Terminated Bus Topology 3m (9.8 feet) Network Termination One terminator in free topology; two terminators in bus topology (see User's Guide) Power-down Network Protection High impedance when unpowered Physical Layer Repeater Two-way repeater requires two FTT-10A transceivers and clock oscillator plus external power source OR one FTT-10A transceiver, one LPT-10 transceiver, control circuitry, and clock oscillator.
