Loxone Link
Easter Egg: Throughout our website you will see the Link icon to identify devices that use Loxone Link
What is Loxone Link?
Loxone Link is the communication protocol used for Loxone to communicate with its extensions. It is similar to CANBUS, in that the communication is linear and requires a 120 ohm resistor as a stop signal, and for the communication to return to the Miniserver. With Link, the Loxone system can instantly communicate with extensions, and can increase the size of your system by adding Tree and Air capabilities.
Quick Points
- Max length of Link: 500m
- Must be wired as a bus
- Shielded twisted pair wire (Cat5, 7, etc.)
- Last extension in the Link must be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor
- 20 extensions that connect with Link currently offered by Loxone (as of Aug 2021)
Product List
How Does It Work?
Not all projects will require Loxone Link, especially the smaller ones. However, if you need to add more capabilities you will need to add an extension to your system via Link. You typically connect Link with push-in connectors as pictured below. The blue side is considered + Link, and the white side – Link. You would then match this up with the next extension and daisy chain to as many are needed, with a limit of 30 extensions. After the last extension you place a 120 ohm resistor to act as a stop sign for the communication signal.
