LONWORKS into Opto

Hi
Has anyone out there had any ideas on how to interface a lonworks device into opto?  I know the protocol is really weird (not standard serial...) but is there any device that someone knows about that can interface directly or indirectly to an opto controller?

LonWorks devices communicate with the protocol LonTalk which communicates via a non standard wire.  Therefore, we do not offer any products that communicate using the Lontalk protocol.  However, we do offer a modus module and development kit.  Many companies offer a Modus/Lontalk converter.  If you do a google search, a list of companies will show up.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Actually you will only get 1 reference to Modus/Lontalk from Google (This post!).  Try "Modbus/Lontalk" and you will get 7,290.  Strange how an open protocol from 1979 is still the worlds standard for connecting to propietary comunications systems!

Oops! You are correct. I mistyped Modbus/Lontalk and Opto 22 does not offer Modus module. We offer a Modbus module. Those crazy 'B's. Thanks for pointing it out.
