Echelon IzoT NodeBuilder - Manual (Page 20)

What's Included with the IzoT FT 6000 EVK
The FT 6000 EVK includes the following components:
• IzoT NodeBuilder Development Tool. The IzoT NodeBuilder Development Tool is an
integrated development environment (IDE) for developing applications for Series 6000, 5000,
and 3100 chips. It is available as a free download that requires a serial number to be installed.
A serial number for the IzoT NodeBuilder software is included on the back of the IzoT
Commissioning Tool EVK Edition DVD case that is included with the FT 6000 EVK.
• Two FT 6000 EVB Evaluation Boards. The FT 6000 EVBs are evaluation boards that you
can use to run example applications and to prototype and debug your own applications. Each
includes an FT 6050 Smart Transceiver and can be attached to an IzoT or L
ON W ORKS free
topology (FT) twisted pair channel.
• IzoT Commissioning Tool EVK Edition DVD. Contains the software tool for designing,
installing, and maintaining IzoT and L ON W ORKS control networks. The EVK Edition
includes the Microsoft Visio 2010 diagramming and vector graphics edition application.
• IzoT Network Services Server CD. Contains the network operating system that is the
standard network management software platform for commercial and industrial IzoT and
L
ON W ORKS networks.
• IzoT Router. A ready-to-run application for connecting IzoT devices on an Ethernet channel
with IzoT and LonWorks devices on an FT channel. The router automatically forwards
packets between the Ethernet and FT channels.
• IzoT Plug-in for Wireshark. Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analyzer for IP
networks. It is used for network troubleshooting and analysis. A plug-in for Wireshark is
included with the IzoT NodeBuilder software that enabled Wireshark to decode LonTalk/IP
packets.
• Quick Start Guide. This document describes how to install the software included with your
FT 6000 EVK; connect the FT 6000 EVBs and your development computer to an FT-10
channel; and create a simple network using the example application pre loaded on the FT
6000 EVB.
• FT 6050 Smart Transceiver sample chips.
• Accessories including power supplies and cables.
The following sections describe each of the components.
IzoT NodeBuilder Development Tool
The IzoT NodeBuilder Development Tool is an integrated development environment (IDE) for
developing and debugging applications for Series 6000, 5000, and 3100 chips. It is available as a free
download that requires a serial number to be installed. A serial number for the IzoT NodeBuilder
software is included on the back of the IzoT Commissioning Tool EVK Edition DVD case that is
included with the FT 6000 EVK.I It includes Neuron C example applications that you can run on your
FT 6000 EVBs and use to further learn how to develop your own device applications.
The IzoT NodeBuilder software includes the following components:
• NodeBuilder Resource Editor. View standard types and functional profiles, and create
user-defined types and profiles if the standard resource files do not include the resources you need.
• NodeBuilder Code Wizard. Use a drag-and-drop interface to create your device’s interface and
then automatically generate Neuron C source code that implements the device interface and
creates the framework for your device application.
