The Pyxos FT Embedded Control Networking Platform

Evaluate Pyxos FT technology, develop applications, and build devices.

Pyxos Chips

The new Pyxos platform extends the power of LonWorks control networks to the smallest devices, even the sensors and actuators inside machines. Built upon tiny, low-cost Pyxos FT chips, it automatically configures itself — without special tools or skilled labor — into a high-speed control network. Check out the review of the Pyxos platform in Circuit Cellar magazine.

The Pyxos platform is the only sensor networking solution designed to be part of a complete control ecosystem. Other solutions, especially RF-dependent ones, lack a control infrastructure. Because Pyxos networks work seamlessly with LonWorks control networks, manufacturers can easily connect their products to existing automation applications for remote monitoring and control. Together, LonWorks and Pyxos networks create a synergistic system, with LonWorks networks providing the ultra-reliable backbone for any number of Pyxos based machines and sensor networks.

Examples of Pyxos Networks

High-Performance Solutions

Pyxos networks are perfect for high-performance applications: They support data bit rates up to 312.5 kbps and use deterministic signaling to scan all data points at least every 25 ms. High-speed signaling and flexible data types let you use Pyxos FT networks for:

  • Closed-loop controls in process and industrial applications
  • Vehicular controls
  • Fault monitors
  • Propulsion controls
  • Elevator cab and floor call controls
  • Security and fire/life safety devices
  • Burner and boiler controls
  • Lighting systems
  • HVAC systems
  • Office automation equipment
  • and more

Why Choose the Pyxos FT Platform?

Pyxos FT networks reduce assembly and installation costs, improve customer service, and let you leverage your LonWorks investment. Learn more about the advantages of the Pyxos Platform or see how the Pyxos FT Networking Platform stacks up with technologies such as CAN, DALI, and RS-485.
