6 Using the Mini FX/PL Example Applications
1. Download the Mini FX/PL example applications with the Mini kit.
2. Use the Mini FX/PL example applications.
Loading the Mini FX/PL Example Applications
You can use the Mini FX Application to download the example applications to the PL
3150/PL 3170 EVBs. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Install the Mini FX software following Chapter 2 of the Mini FX User’s Guide.
2. Connect your PL 3150/PL 3170 EVB boards following Chapter 1 of the Mini FX/PL
Hardware Guide.
After you plug in the power supplies, LED1 will begin flashing, indicating that the
PL Evaluation Board has entered CENELEC configuration mode. If LED8 is on,
then the CENELEC access protocol is enabled. If LED8 is off, CENELEC is disabled.
By default, CENELEC is enabled.
You must enable the CENELEC access protocol when operating within one of the
CENELEC member states. When operating outside the CENELEC member states,
disable the CENELEC access protocol for optimum performance and reliable
communications.
If you want to change the current setting, you can press the SW8 button on the
MiniGizmo I/O Board to toggle CENELEC support. When you have made a selection,
press the SW1 button to confirm your selection and exit CENELEC configuration
mode. Make sure that LED8 is on before pressing SW1 if you want CENELEC
enabled, or off if you want CENELEC disabled. You will not be able to perform any
network operations with the PL EVB until you have made a selection and exited
CENELEC configuration mode.
The CENELEC EN 50065-1 standard specifies an access protocol for C-band
channels to allow multiple power line signaling devices from different manufacturers
to operate on a common AC-mains circuit. 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.
3. Start the Mini FX Application. To do this, click Start on the taskbar, point to
Programs, point to the Echelon Mini FX program folder, and then click Mini FX
Application. The Mini FX Application opens with the Application tab selected.
