Echelon's IzoT U60 FT USB network interface module is a compact, board-level module with a USB to LonTalk/IP and LON FT twisted pair interface that can be easily integrated into any controller or device.

The U60 provides a USB interface for attaching to a host computer, controller, or router. The U60 FT module is compatible with the LonTalk Device Stack EX, which provides source code for LonTalk/IP and native LON-compatible protocol stacks. It is also compatible with host applications requiring an ISO/IEC 14908-1 layer 5 or layer 2 interface. Tx and Rx signals are provided on the U60 connector so that the host controller can provide transmit and receive indicators. A service signal is provided on the U60 connector so that the host controller can provide a network service indicator. Three 2.54 mm (0.1”), center, pin-header connectors are provided by the FT network, USB, power input, transmit/receive signals, and service signal.
