The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver is our next-generation chip for smart networks. Its also a key product in the LonWorks? 2.0 platform — the next generation of LonWorks products designed to greatly increase the power and capability of LonWorks enabLED devICes, all while lowering development and node costs.
The FT 5000 Smart Transceiver integrates a high-performance Neuron? Core with a free topology twisted-pair transceiver. Combined with the new low-cost FT-X3 communication transformer and inexpensive serial memory, the FT 5000 Smart Transceiver is faster and helps you develop much more cost-effective designs than possible with the previous-generation LonWorks TP/FT-10 solution.
FT 5000-based devices are fully compatible with existing LonWorks networks and vice versa.
