CARE will be delivered with a CARE LON device library based on the Honeywell Plugins that will
be registered with CARE. Newer Plugins need to be reregistered in CARE.
After CARE installation the Plugin registration needs to be upgraded according to the installed
Plugins.
CARE 10.04.00 supports the import for most of the 3rd party XIF-files for LonMark devices. On
device commissioning CARE compares XIF-file and the application in the (3rd party) device. If
the two files don’t fit to each other, CARE issues with a warning or will refuse to do the
commissioning. On LNS synchronization this comparison will be done in the same way.
On remote (via RSS) LNS synchronization CARE checks the installed LNS version on the
CARE- and LNS Server PC. If the versions are not equal a message will be displayed.
The check options can be disabled via the global options in CARE.
In order to create a LNS database for EBI and because of a major LNS error it is mandatory to
install a new LNS Turbo Service Pack.
