FT 6000 EVB
A L ON W ORKS evaluation board that uses Echelon’s FT 6000 Smart Transceiver. It features a compact
design that includes the following I/O devices that you can use to develop prototype devices and run
the FT 6000 EVB examples: 4 x 20 character LCD display, 4-way joystick with center push button, 2
push-button inputs, 2 LED outputs, digital light sensor, and digital temperature sensor.
FT 6000 Smart Transceiver
A chip that integrates a Neuron 6000 processor core and a TP/FT-10 transceiver.
FT/PL 3150 EVB
A L ON W ORKS evaluation board that uses Echelon’s FT or PL 3150 Smart Transceiver. It is connected
to a MiniGizmo board that includes eight push buttons, eight LEDs, a temperature sensor, and a piezo
buzzer. In a managed network, you can bind compatible network variables in applications running on
the FT 3150 EVB and FT 5000 EVBs. In a self-installed network, you can use the ISI protocol to
connect the FT 3150 EVB running the MGSwitch, MGLight, or MGDemo applications to an FT 5000
EVB running the NcSimpleIsiExample or NcMultiSensorExample applications.
FT/PL 3120 EVB
A L ON W ORKS evaluation board that uses Echelon’s FT or PL 3120 Smart Transceiver. It is connected
to a MiniGizmo board that includes eight push buttons, eight LEDs, a temperature sensor, and a piezo
buzzer. In a managed network, you can bind compatible network variables in applications running on
the FT 3120 EVB and FT 5000 and 6000 EVBs. In a self-installed network, you can use the ISI
protocol to connect the FT 3120 EVB running the MGSwitch or MGLight applications to an FT 5000
or FT 6000 EVB running the NcSimpleIsiExample or NcMultiSensorExample applications.
Functional Block (FB)
A collection of network variables, configuration properties, and associated behavior that defines a
desired system functionality. Functional blocks define standard formats and semantics for how
information is exchanged between devices on a network.
Functional Block Array
A set of identical functional blocks. A functional block array is useful if your device contains two or
more identical switches, lights, dials, controllers, or other I/O components that will each have an
identical external interface. In addition, a functional block array saves code space and reduces the
number of when-tasks in your code.
Functional Profile
A L ON M ARK specification that enables equipment specifiers to select the functionality they need for a
system. A functional profile is a template for a type of functional block that defines mandatory and
optional network variable and configuration property members along with their intended usage. A
small number of functional profiles are available for generic devices such as simple sensor and
actuators. Many industry-specific functional profiles are available for industry-specific applications.
Industry-specific profiles are developed through a review and approval process, including a
cross-functional review to ensure the profile will interoperate within an individual subsystem and also
provide interoperability with other subsystems in the network.
Gizmo 4 I/O Board
A collection of I/O devices that you can use with the LTM-10A Platform for developing prototype
devices and I/O circuits, developing special-purpose devices for testing, or running the NodeBuilder
examples.
