applications, see the Mini FX/PL Examples Guide.

Selecting the Hardware Template

You can use the Application tab in the Mini FX Application to select the hardware
template for your device application. A hardware template specifies the attributes for

the hardware into which your device application is to be downloaded including platform,

transceiver type, Neuron Chip or Smart Transceiver model, clock speed, system image,
and memory configuration.
In the Target Hardware box, select the hardware template corresponding to your
development platform from the list of standard hardware templates stored in the

C:\L

W

ORKS

\NodeBuilder\Templates\Hardware\Standard folder. The list

includes hardware templates for the FT 5000 EVBs, and PL 3150/PL 3170 EVBs.
• If you are using the Mini FX/FT Evaluation Kit, select FT 5000 Evaluation Board.
• If you are using the Mini FX/PL Evaluation Kit, select PL 3150 Evaluation Board

(CENELEC off), PL 3150 Evaluation Board (CENELEC on), PL 3170

Evaluation Board (CENELEC off), or PL 3170 Evaluation Board (CENELEC
on)
.
The CENELEC EN 50065-1 standard is a European-standard protocol for controlling
access to a power line used for communication. It is required for power line

communication in most CENELEC member states, which include most of Europe and

some neighboring countries. For operation outside states governed by the CENELEC
committee, you must disable the CENELEC access protocol for optimum performance

and reliable communication. See Chapter 8 of the PL 3120 / PL 3150 / PL 3170

Smart Transceiver Data Book for more information on the CENELEC protocol. To
view this book, click Start, point to Programs, point to Echelon Mini, point to

Smart Transceiver Data Books, and then click it.

• To use a custom hardware template you have created, click Browse, and then

browse to and select the hardware template. By default, custom hardware templates

your computer.

• To create a custom hardware template, click New and then configure the hardware,

memory, and description properties of your new custom hardware template as

described in the Configuring Hardware Templates section in Appendix B.

• To view or edit the hardware, memory, and description properties of the selected

hardware template, click Edit. If you save changes to a hardware template, you will
be prompted to confirm that you want to clear the read-only attribute of the

hardware template and save the file. Click Yes to overwrite the hardware template.
Note: Do not overwrite Standard hardware templates. Instead, create a custom
hardware template from a copy of a Standard hardware template and then configure

your custom hardware template. For more information on creating and configuring
custom hardware templates, see Appendix B, Creating and Configuring Hardware

Templates.

Specifying the Program ID

You can use the Application tab in the Mini FX Application to specify the program ID

for your device application. The program ID is a 16-hex-digit number that uniquely
