With the development of modern science, intelligent building is leading the trend of the world construction. But, in our country, intelligent building is still in the initial stage. Because of some reasons, some of the intelligent building, which was completed, is just the simple addition of each subsystem. That doesn't come to real integration of system.Among many types of fieldbus, LonWorks is open, interoperatable, and has good network topology, so it has extensive application in many fields, especially in intelligent building. The intelligent node of intelligent building based on LonWorks is studied in this paper. And, A low cost LonWorks network management tool is proposed in this paper based on the LNS operating system. Our experiments show that this advanced tool can reduce the cost of configuration and maintenance remarkably.
