Quick Start

This section provides instructions for users who wish to experiment immediately with the

evaluation kit. A fuller description of the kit and its use appears later in this document.

1.3.1

Setting-Up

THE EV8000 COMES PRE-CONFIGURED FOR OPERATION AT 5.0V.

The

µC board contains a socket for a 40-pin DIL PIC (or compatible) general-purpose µC, which

the user may re-program with his applications software. The

µC board comes with a pre-

programmed PIC 16C74AJW or equivalent containing communications firmware and application

specific demonstration firmware for the EV8000 evaluation kit.

The kit also contains a 9-way D-type RS232 cable (for connection to a PC), as shown in the Block

Diagram of Figure 1. No board adjustments are required by the user.

The C-BUS connector on the signalling processor board, J1 or J2, should be linked to connector

J1 on the

µC board with a 20-way flat cable, as shown in Figure 1, connecting pin 1 to pin 1.

Analogue signals can be input or monitored at connector J6.

BEFORE APPLYING POWER, PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING:

ENSURE THE PIC

µC IS PLUGGED INTO SOCKET U2 ON THE µC BOARD.

ATTACH THE 9-WAY RS232 CABLE TO CONNECTOR J3 ON THE

µC BOARD AND THE

SERIAL PORT OF A PC.

ATTACH THE 20-WAY FLAT CABLE TO CONNECTOR J1 ON THE

µC BOARD AND

CONNECTOR J1 ON THE SIGNALLING PROCESSOR BOARD. PIN 1 MUST CONNECT TO

PIN 1.

Connect any other equipment as shown in Figure 1.

Ensure the PC software supplied is set up as detailed in Section 1.6.3.1.

The EV8000 boards each have connections for a single 8 - 35V dc power supply. Only one board

(as shown in Figure 1) needs to be connected as power is supplied to the other board over the

20-way flat cable. If the

µC board supplied is not used, then power will need to be applied to the

signalling processor board instead. Each board has its own power supply regulator chip, with a

jumper to select 3.3V or 5.0V (default) operation.

Ensure that the component value jumpers on each of the EV8000 evaluation boards are correctly

set for 3.3V or 5.0V operation. Please refer to Sections 1.6.1.1 and 1.6.2.1 for further details.

MAKE SURE BOTH BOARDS HAVE THIS LINK SET TO THE SAME VOLTAGE. DAMAGE

MAY RESULT IF THIS STEP IS NOT OBSERVED. DO NOT OPERATE THE

µC BOARD WITH ITS VOLTAGE SELECTION LINK REMOVED. THE µC BOARD AND

SIGNALLING PROCESSOR BOARD VOLTAGE SELECTION LINKS HAVE DIFFERENT

CONFIGURATIONS.
