New LonWorks Inverter Interface from Amerilon
Control your home & small building auxiliary power system remotely.

The Trace SW Series / Lonworks Interface allows data and commands contained in two Trace Inverter Units to be accessible over a Lonworks network, thus allowing operation and control of two inverters remotely. Each inverter is independent of each other and can be in different operating modes at the same time. The control of each Trace Converter Unit is the same as from the Trace Inverter's front display and keypad, just over a Lonworks network.
