Description

General Information

The starter kit package includes a development board for creating networking applications via the Anybus CompactCom module's host interface channels. The kit includes an option board for either Anybus CompactCom M40/M30 (module) or Anybus CompactCom B40 (brick). The development board connects to a standard USB2 port and operates at 24 V ±20%. The Anybus CompactCom B40 option board and the expansion board provide in-circuit access to all Anybus CompactCom host interface signals for debugging and evaluation. These boards operate at 3.3 VDC.

Option Board Overview (Module)

The starter kit features two PCBs joined together. An optional module (with or without housing) or an expansion board can be connected to the top board (1). All three contacts must be joined for correct functionality; otherwise, the starter kit will not work.

Connectors

Control Switches

Expansion Board Overview

The Anybus CompactCom Expansion Board connects to the development board's host application connector, providing in-circuit access to all Anybus CompactCom host interface signals for debugging and evaluation. Any Anybus CompactCom, with or without housing, can be connected. The expansion board operates at 3.3 VDC, powered by the development board connector.

Host Interface Signals

The Anybus CompactCom host interface signals are available through six 16-pin headers (2.54 mm). The upper row of each header is connected to signal ground, and the lower row contains the host interface signals. Pin names and functionality vary depending on the operating mode.

JP3 Header Overview:

JP6 Header Overview:

JP7 Header Overview:

JP8 Header Overview:

For more information, refer to the Anybus CompactCom M40/M30 Hardware Design Guide.

Option Board Overview (Brick)

The option board for brick provides in-circuit access to all signals of the Anybus CompactCom host interface, allowing in-circuit debugging and evaluation. The option board operates at 3.3 VDC.

Header/Connector Details:

• JP5: Reserved, do not use.
• JP3: Host application interface of brick.
• JP1: Network interface of brick.
• JP2: Network interface of connector board.
• JP17 - JP22: Headers providing access to Anybus CompactCom host interface signals. See Host Interface Signals, p. 16.
• JP24: See Power Source Selection (JP24), p. 15.
• JP25: See External Power Connector (JP25), p. 14.

External Power Connector (JP25)

The connector can be used to power the Anybus CompactCom module from an external power source. The board has no on-board power regulation; a regulated 3.3 VDC power source is required, as specified by the Anybus CompactCom M40/M30 Hardware Design Guide.

Warning: Exceeding the specified voltage WILL cause irreparable damage to the Anybus CompactCom and/or the host application.

Power Source Selection (JP24)

The expansion board can be powered either from the development board connector (1) or from an external power source (4).

Host Interface Signals

The Anybus CompactCom host interface signals are available through six 16-pin headers (2.54 mm). The lower row of each header is connected to signal ground, and the upper row holds the host interface signals. Pin names and functionality vary depending on the operating mode.

JP18 Header Overview:

JP17 Header Overview:

Note: Signals Tx and Rx (JP22) are printed on the board as seen from the brick. On the first version (0327 - 1.0.1) of the option board, these signals are printed as TxD and RxD and as seen from the application, not from the Anybus CompactCom.

The signal names for the different modes are given as seen from the brick.

For more information, refer to the Anybus CompactCom B40 Hardware Design Guide.

Software

General

The software described is part of the Anybus CompactCom Starter Kit and is available at www.anybus.com/starterkit40.

Transport Provider

The Transport Provider is a set of drivers enabling a PC with Microsoft Windows™ to communicate with HMS products via Transport Paths. A Transport Path is set up once and can be reused by all HMS PC applications requiring it.

Host Application Example Code

For implementations of the Anybus CompactCom 30 or 40, the example code and its guide help to expedite the development process. The host application example code includes a driver acting as a bridge between the Anybus CompactCom module and the host application. The driver features an API (Application Programming Interface) defining a common interface. The example code also includes an application demonstrating API usage, serving as a base for the final product.

The host application example code and the Host Application Implementation Guide are available at www.anybus.com/starterkit40. The guide details the code and provides instructions for simple implementations and development tips.
