FT 5000 EVB Hardware Guide v
Welcome
The FT 5000 EVB is a complete Series 5000 L ON W ORKS device that you can use to evaluate the
L ON W ORKS 2.0 platform and create L ON W ORKS devices. The FT 5000 EVB includes a FT 5000
Smart Transceiver with an external 10 MHz crystal (you can adjust the system’s internal clock speed
from 5MHz to 80MHz), an FT-X3 communication transformer, 64KB external serial EEPROM and
flash memory devices, and a 3.3V power source. The FT 5000 EVB features a compact design that
includes the following I/O devices that you can use to develop prototype and production devices and
test the FT 5000 EVB example applications:
• 4 x 20 character LCD
• 4-way joystick with center push button
• 2 push-button inputs
• 2 LED outputs
• Light-level sensor
• Temperature sensor
The FT 5000 EVB also includes EIA-232/TIA-232 (formerly RS-232) and USB interfaces that you can
use to connect the board to your development computer and perform application-level testing and
diagnostics. You can also use the EIA-232 interface for development with the ShortStack
®
Developer’s Kit. Note that you can only use one of the EIA-232 and USB interfaces at a time.
Each FT 5000 EVB also features support for the in-circuit programming of the external serial
non-volatile EEPROM and flash memory devices on the board using the serial peripheral interface bus
(SPI) and Inter-Integrated Circuit (I
2 C) interface.
Purpose
This document describes how to connect the FT 5000 EVB boards, and it describes the Neuron core,
I/O devices, service pin and reset buttons and LEDs, and jumper settings on the FT 5000 EVB
hardware.
Audience
This guide is intended for device and system designers with an understanding of control networks.
Box Contents
The FT 5000 EVB hardware ships with the following material:
• FT 5000 EVB Evaluation Boards. The FT 5000 EVB hardware includes two FT 5000 EVBs that
you can connect to a L ON W ORKS TP/FT-10 channel.
• Development Tool CD. The FT 5000 EVB hardware is shipped with either the NodeBuilder FX
Development Tool CD or the Mini FX Application CD. You can use these development tools to
build Neuron C applications and download them to the FT 5000 EVB.
• LonMaker ®
Integration Tool CD (with NodeBuilder FX Development Tool only). The LonMaker
tool lets you install, bind, monitor and control, and test the FT 5000 EVBs in a managed
L
ON W ORKS network.
• LonScanner ™ Protocol Analyzer LNS Turbo Edition CD. The LonScanner Protocol Analyzer lets
you observe, analyze, and diagnose the behavior of the TP/FT-10 channel to which the FT 5000
EVBs
are connected.
