The LonWorks network integration requires resource files to
support integrating LonWorks enabled devices. Device resource files have file extensions
of .XIF (External Interface File), .TYP (Type File), and .FPT
(Functional Profile Template), and provide device type and configuration data. For
example, an LN-VAVLF-1 controller has the following three device specific resource
files: LN-VAVLF-1 110.XIF, LNVAVL1.TYP, and LNVAVL1.FPT.
Note:
.TYP and .FPT resource files may not be provided for third party
devices. In this case, you only need the .XIF file.
