1.6.3.5 Near and Far ES8000 Definitions

The near EV8000 signalling processor board is connected to the

µC board via the J1 connector.

Therefore all FX8xx devices located on the near signalling processor board are considered to be

near devices and are controlled by near device forms.

The far signalling processor is created by taking a signalling processor board out of a second

EV8000 evaluation kit. It should be connected to the near signalling processor board by using

another 20-way flat cable between connector J3 on the near board and connector J1 on the far

board. Pin 1 on connector J3 should be connected to Pin 1 on connector J1. All FX8xx devices

located on the far signalling processor board are considered to be far devices and are controlled

by far device forms.

Note:

In certain parts of the ES8000 Windows Application Software the variables CBUS and CBUS2 are

used. These correspond to the near and far boards respectively.

1.6.3.6 ES8000 and EV8000 Startup Procedure

Ensure all of the hardware is connected correctly. Follow the ‘Starting the ES8000 Windows

Application Software’ instructions described earlier. When the ES8000 Windows Application

Software is executed a pop-up window asks the user to switch on the EV8000 kit. Switch on the

power supply feeding the signalling processor and

µC boards.

When power has been applied the Add Device pop-up window is opened. If the user is ready to

add a device form to the view select the device and click on OK. Click on cancel if you do not

require a device form.

Perform a General Reset when the first device form is opened, any further device forms added

will not require a General Reset unless they have been opened on the other C-BUS (near or far).

If the ES8000 Windows Application Software is executed with power already applied to the

signalling processor and

µC boards, simply press the reset switch (SW1) on the µC board. The

Add Device window should now open.

If these methods fail, shutdown the ES8000 application and turn off the power supply to the

signalling processor and

µC boards. Repeat the procedure described above.
