In addition to standard device properties, each Lon device includes a “DeviceData” container, with a number of properties for status and configuration of that particular Lon device. Typically, you do not need to edit anything under this container. See DeviceData for more details.

Also unique to a Lon device is its set of “LonComponents” that represent specific nvs (nvis and nvos), ncis, and cps for that device. A shown in Figure 34, main access to LonComponents is via the property sheet of the Lon device, where LonComponents are listed in “nv index” order below the “Xml file” property.

For more details, see LonComponents.

Also unique to a Lon device is a special Workbench command, special manager views, and right-click actions. See ImportXml command, Lon device views and Lon device actions.
