What are Neuron Chips?
Neuron Chips are cost-effective, optimized microcontrollers incorporated in leading-edge distributed intelligent control networks. They enable “smarts” to be built into everyday electronic devices and enable these devices to communicate with each other. Millions of Neuron Chips are already in use worldwide in buildings, factories, trains, homes, planes, and hundreds of other applications. Neuron Chips communicate with each other using Echelon’s LONWORKS protocol, which is an open, interoperable control-networking standard that enables users to connect a broad range of LONWORKS compatible products in a peer-to-peer networked environment.
