LONWorks to PC interface

Are there any simple PC interface cards (e.g., an USB interface) available to connect a PC with a LONWorks network device?

What is the minimum number of HW/SW components required to run a LONWorks network? Is there a special tool required to configure and run the network?

The services required are just to read and write values from/to LON network variables.

Tanks.

Hi Karlheinz,

Yes such devices are available. I suggest you start with
http://www.echelon.com/products/net_interface/default.htm and have a look at their products. Others are availabe but this is good place to start. Search around the site for tutorials etc which should answer all your questions.
