Communication Adapter
Installation Instructions
Application
WPA-LON-1
The WPA-LON Series WorkPlace Communication
Adapters are Echelon® LONTALK® PC adapter cards. A
TAC I/A Series® WorkPlace Tech PC requires a
WPA-LON-x to configure and download applications to
TAC I/A Series MicroNet™ Controllers.
The WPA-LON-1 includes an Echelon PCLTA-10 PC
LONTALK Adapter. The PCLTA-10 is a half-height,
half-length, ISA-bus card that requires a 16-bit slot. The
adapter card is compatible with Windows® 98,
Windows NT®, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
Echelon adapter driver software is included on the
WorkPlace Tech Tool 4.0 software CD (WP-TECH-CD0-40)
The card has an integral LONWORKS Free Topology
Transceiver (FTT-10), and features a removable
two-terminal connector for polarity-insensitive wiring to
the LON™ terminals on a TAC I/A Series MicroNet
Controller or to a LONWORKS FTT-based LON. The
WPA-LON-1 also includes a cable for plug-in
connection to the LON jack on a TAC I/A Series
MicroNet Controller or S-link Sensor.
Earlier versions of WorkPlace Tech Tool (WorkPlace
Tech Tool 3.1, WorkPlace Tech Tool 3.2) and
Wonderware® Software for Intelligent Buildings (WIB)
include earlier versions of Echelon adapter software.

General Notes
Note:
Install the adapter software included with IA-WIB-CD or WP-TECH-CD before installing
the card. This allows the “Plug and Play” feature of Windows to recognize the adapter
card.
Visit the Echelon website (www.echelon.com) for additional support information
related to the Echelon PCLTA-10 (WPA-LON-1), PCC-10 (WPA-LON-2), PCLTA-20
PCI (WPA-LON-3) adapter cards.

Troubleshooting
Diagnosing Device
Conflicts under
Windows 98
The Windows 98 Device Manager can show resource conflicts between the
PCLTA-10 or PCC-10 adapter card and other devices in the PC. From the list of
devices shown in the Device Manager:
1. Double-click on “LONWORKS Interface.”
2. Double-click on “PCLTA-10 Interface” or “PCC-10 Interface.”
3. Click the Resources tab.
4. A “Conflicting Device List” is shown at the bottom. If another device is listed
there, uncheck the box, “Use Automatic Settings.”
5. If the resource conflict is an Input/Output Range conflict, click Input/Output
Range and select “Change Setting...” Choose an Input/Output Range that
does not conflict.
6. If the resource conflict is an Interrupt Request conflict, click Interrupt Request
and select “Change Setting...” Choose an Interrupt Request that does not
conflict.
Diagnosing Device
Conflicts under
Windows NT
If the Event Viewer indicates that there are conflicts, read the file pclta10.txt or
pcc10.txt. This file is located in the LONWORKS directory, which is C:\lonworks by
default. If following the instructions in this file does not solve the problem, it is likely
to be a device conflict that Windows NT cannot fully detect and resolve. The most
common cause is an interrupt conflict between a WPA-LON-1 PCLTA card and an
ISA bus network card. This can be verified by temporarily removing the network
card. If this clears up the problem, it is usually possible to permanently resolve the
problem by replacing the ISA bus network card with a PCI bus network card.
Diagnosing Device
Conflicts under
Windows 2000 or
Windows XP
Refer to the section on Diagnostic Commands in LONWORKS PCLTA-20 PCI
LONTALK Adapter User’s Guide, F-26996.
Installation Under
Windows 95
WorkPlace Tech 3.1 is supported only on PCs running Windows 98 and
Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5). However, at times it may be necessary to install
the WPA-LON-1 or WPA-LON-2 adapter card in a PC running Windows 95. Such
may be the case when the adapter card is to be used with an earlier version of
WorkPlace Tech or with a third-party product such as LonMaker. Under these
conditions, follow the procedure in this document for installing the particular card
under Windows 98.
Re-installing Echelon
Drivers Under
Windows 2000 or
Windows XP
If Windows does not automatically recognize the adapter card on start up, perform
the following steps to re-install the Echelon drivers.
1. Open the Device Manager as follows: double-click System in the Windows
Control Panel, select the Hardware tab, and click Device Manager.
2. If the adapter card has not been properly recognized by the operating system,
the Device Manager will list an “Other devices” item. “Other devices” will have
a sub-item with a yellow question mark icon. Double-click the sub-item to open
the device's property page.
3. Click Re-install driver, and follow the subsequent prompts. At each step the of
the re-installation process click Next or OK to accept the installer's default
settings.
4. When re-installation is complete, click Finish.
5. Close the device property page, and exit the Device Manager.

Using the LON
Jack Cable
WPA-LON-1 and WPA-LON-3
An adapter to LON cable (P/N: WPIA-CBL-1) is included with the WPA-LON-x card.
Connect one end of the cable to the two-terminal connector plug of the adapter
card. Connect the other end of the cable to the LON connection of a TAC I/A Series
MicroNet Controller or LON jack of an TAC I/A Series MicroNet Sensor. This cable
connection is not polarity sensitive.
The supplied LON jack-compatible cable has a 1.3 mm I.D. by 3.5 mm O.D. coaxial
plug (DC power plug style) on one end, and has pre-stripped leads on the other
end. The cable length is 6 feet (1.83 m). To ensure accurate communications, it is
recommended that the standard length of the supplied cable not be extended.
Note: If the LON uses a Free Topology, the cable length counts towards the total
wiring length for the FTT segment.
