Overview
Install and commission a community of devices by simply drawing your network with the
integrated Microsoft Visio tool. As you draw your network, the IzoT Commissioning Tool (CT)
communicates with your devices to make them match your drawing. To make two devices
communicate, you draw a line between them. The result is a network drawing that serves as
the as-built documentation for your network.
Compatible plug-in applications for configuring a wide variety of IzoT and LonWorks devices

are available rom hundreds of device
manufacturers. IzoT CT integrates
seamlessly with these plugins so you can
automatically start the correct plug-in
by clicking on a device and selecting
Configure from the menu.
IzoT CT works with all IzoT and LonWorks
devices giving you a wide variety of
options for the devices to be installed
in your networks. There are never any
per-device fees, credits, or royalties when
using the IzoT Commissioning Tool.
IzoT CT includes the IzoT Network
Services Server. The server provides an
open platform for tools and applications
to interact with your IzoT and LonWorks
networks. You can also use the integrated
XML file import/export capability to
integrate with applications that are not
compatible with the server.
You can reduce your network design time
by creating custom shapes that represent
the common device or subsystem
configurations that you frequently install.
For example, you can create a custom
shape that represents all the devices
in a room, including their device types,
configuration, and connections. To add
a new room to your network, you drag
your room custom shape to your drawing
and all the devices are automatically
created in your drawing and in the server
database, along with the configuration and
connections that you specified.
You can further reduce network design
time with automatic connection-type
selection. When you create a connection
in your drawing, IzoT CT automatically
selects the communications services for
the connection based on the sources and
targets that you specify. You can manually
override the selections to fine tune your
network behavior.
For very large networks where
connectivity is not available between all
devices during initial construction, you
can initially create your IzoT CT drawings
and physical networks as independent
networks. When connectivity is available
between your networks, you can use
IzoT CT to automatically merge the
independent networks into one large
network.
You can import AutoCAD drawings
of your installations into your IzoT CT
drawings. For example, if you are installing
a network in a building, you can import
the AutoCAD floor plan of the building to
serve as the background for your IzoT CT
drawing. You can also export your IzoT CT
drawing as an AutoCAD drawing.
You can design your networks and
commission your devices at the same
time, or you can do your network design
independent of the physical hardware and
later commission your devices. You can
commission your devices one at a time, in
groups, or by subsystem.
Once you have commissioned your devices,
you can monitor and control their operation
from your drawings using connection
monitoring and Data Point shapes, or
from the IzoT CT Browser which provides
a tabular view of your selected data
points. You can use the integrated device
management window to test your devices
and determine their status.
Multiple Editions
IzoT CT is available in multiple editions. The
full-featured Professional Edition is suitable
for network integrators. It includes support
for an unlimited number of networks. The
Standard Edition is suitable for embedded
tools, where IzoT CT is installed as a
dedicated tool for an individual network.
The Standard Edition is limited to a
maximum of five networks.
Versions of IzoT CT are available with and
without an integrated copy of Visio 2013.
IzoT CT requires Visio 2013, 2010, or 2003.
The version without Visio is ideal for users
