The memory map for a Series 6000 chip is “auto-tuned”. This means that the linker decides
how to partition the RAM based upon the needs placed on it by the application. The user
does not need to specify the address ranges used for each type of memory (code vs data vs
persistent data).
IP Support
The system image for the Series 6000 chip contains a UDP/IP (V4) stack along with ICMP
and SNMP (V1). In conjunction with an IzoT Router, the device can communicate using
LonTalk/IP, BACnet/IP, be pinged from a device on the Ethernet side of the IzoT router or
monitored via SNMP from a standard SNMP client such as Solar Winds. The device can also
get an IP address via DHCP from the IzoT Router. Furthermore, one can use a socket API
on a Windows or Linux PC (or any device that supports sockets) to open a UDP socket
connection to a Series 6000 device through an IzoT Router.
BACnet Support
The larger application space allows an application to include a BACnet library that enables a
device to be monitored and controlled in a traditional manner from an OpenLNS based tool
and simultaneously from a standard BACnet workstation using BACnet/IP.
Extended Address Table
Series 6000 chips use system firmware version 21 or later which supports up to 254 address
table entries for Neuron hosted devices (devices without a host microprocessor). The entries
beyond 15 are used by OpenLNS Server 4.02 and the IzoT Commissioning Tool.
Compiler Enhancements
The Neuron C compiler supports auto initializers for scalars (e.g., int i=0;) Furthermore, the
Neuron C preprocessor has been replaced by a standard preprocessor called MCPP
(http://mcpp.sourceforge.net).
