If this is the only L ON W ORKS interface installed on your computer, it will
automatically use the default name LON1, and you can proceed directly to your
software application and begin using the interface as LON1.
If you have another network interface installed on your computer, you can check the
name used by the U10 USB Network Interface in the L ON W ORKS Interfaces
application. You can also use this application to configure the buffer sizes and counts
used by the U10 USB Network Interface. To open the L
ON W ORKS Interfaces
application, and check the name of the U10 USB Network Interface and configure it,
click Start on the taskbar, click Control Panel, double-click L ON W ORKS
Interfaces, and then click the USB tab.
For more information on installing and using the U10 USB Network Interface, see
the L
ON W ORKS USB Network Interface User’s Guide.
Note: You can use a different network interface such as a PCC-10, PCLTA-20, or
PCLTA-21; SLTA-10; remote network interface (i.LON SmartServer, i.LON 100 e3
plus Internet Server, i.LON 600 L
ON W ORKS -IP Server); or an IP-852 interface (i.LON
SmartServer with IP-852 routing, i.LON 100 e3 plus Internet Server with IP-852
routing, or i.LON 600 L
ON W ORKS -IP Server).
To use a PCC-10, a PCLTA-20, or a PCLTA-21 as the network interface, you first
need to configure it as a layer-5 network interface using the L
ON W ORKS Plug ‘n Play
application. To do this, click Start on the taskbar, click Control Panel, and then
double-click L ON W ORKS Plug ‘n Play. In the Device Selected box, select your
network interface. In the NI application box, select PCC10NSI if you are using a
PCC-10, or select NSIPCLTA if you are using a PCLTA-20 or a PCLTA-21. Click
OK to save your changes and close the L
ON W ORKS Plug ‘n Play application.
6. Complete the quick-start exercise in Chapter 3, Mini FX Quick-Start Exercise. In the
quick-start exercise, you will develop a device with one sensor and one actuator. The
sensor is a simple sensor that monitors a push button on the FT 5000 EVB. The
actuator drives the state of an LED on the FT 5000 EVB based on the state of the
button.
This quick-start guides you through all the steps of creating a device with the Mini
kit, including writing the Neuron C code that implements your device functionality,
building the device application, downloading the device application, and testing the
device.
7. Run the Neuron C example applications included with the Mini kit on your FT 5000
EVBs. The Mini kit includes three Neuron C example applications
(NcSimpleExample, NcSimpleIsiExample, and NcMultiSensorExample) that you can
use to test the I/O devices on the FT 5000 EVBs, and create simple self-installed and
managed L ON W ORKS networks. Note that you need the LonMaker tool or other
network tool to create a managed network with the FT 5000 EVB example
applications.
