What LonWorks SNVTs Are
SNVTs are standardized network-variable types in LonWorks. They define engineering meaning and unit expectations for data exchanged between devices, which is one reason LonWorks projects depend on more than a simple numbered point list.
Why They Matter
- SNVT type choices affect downstream unit and scaling expectations.
- Some source-side unit families are more rigid than teams expect.
- Mapping errors often come from semantic assumptions, not transport failure.
