10 Introduction
LTM-10A Platform
The LTM-10A Platform is a complete L ON W ORKS device with downloadable flash memory and RAM
that you can use for testing your applications and I/O hardware prototypes.
The LTM-10A Platform includes an LTM-10A Flash Control Module (herein referred to as the
LTM-10A module) that you can design into your prototypes and products. The LTM-10A module
includes a Neuron Chip, 64 KB flash memory, 32 KB static RAM, 10 MHz crystal oscillator, and
custom Neuron firmware. The custom firmware allocates the memory to the Neuron Chip 64 KB
address space and automatically initializes the transceiver interface for standard transceivers. The
NodeBuilder tool can load your application image into the RAM or flash memory of the LTM-10A
module. An application image loaded into the flash memory is preserved when the module is powered
down. An application image loaded into the RAM is preserved when the module is reset, but not when
it is powered down. You can use the Neuron C Debugger to debug applications running in the RAM
or flash memory; however, you should debug your application running in RAM because extensive
debugging in the flash memory can cause the flash memory to fail.
The LTM-10A Platform also includes a PLM-22 power line transceiver with external power line
coupler for attaching the platform to a L
ON W ORKS network. Two power line couplers are included,
one for line-to-earth coupling and one for line-to-neutral coupling.
For more information on the LTM-10A Platform and Flash Control Module, see the LTM-10A User’s
Guide.
NodeBuilder Gizmo 4 I/O Board
The NodeBuilder Gizmo 4 I/O Board is 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. The Gizmo 4 includes the following I/O devices:
• 4 x 20 character LCD display
• 2 10-bit resolution analog inputs with screw terminal connector
• 2 8-bit resolution analog outputs with screw terminal connector
• 2 digital inputs with screw terminal connector and pushbutton inputs
• 2 digital outputs with screw terminal connector and LED outputs
• Digital shaft encoder
• Piezoelectric transducer
• Real-time clock
• Temperature sensor
