What are the key differences between Echelons ShortStack and MIP/PCLTA-20/PCLTA-21/PCC-10/SLTA-20/LTS-20/U10/U20 products?
All of these products can be used to add a LonWorks interface to any host processor. With the exception of PC hosts, the ShortStack product is significantly easier to use in many ways, including a simpler host application programming interface (API) and easier to port host software. The ShortStack product requires much less resources on your host processor in terms of program memory and RAM. The other products require more host resources, both for the API as well as the hardware interface. If you are using a PC host, the U10, U20, PCLTA-20/21, SLTA-10, and LTS-20 can be used as LNS network interfaces, whereas the ShortStack Micro Server cannot. The SLTA-10 and LTS-20 can be used with modems to support dial-in and dial-out to remote hosts; the ShortStack Micro Server does not. The ShortStack Micro Server supports up to 254 network variables on the host, whereas the other network interfaces support up to 4096 network variables.
