LonWorks Twisted Pair Control Module User's Guide 41
• Create your own resource files with your UNVTs, UCPTs, and user
functional profiles.
• Automatically generate Neuron C code that implements your device
interface.
• Edit your Neuron C code to implement your device functionality.
• Compile and build your application, and download it to an Echelon
Evaluation Board, Control Module, or to your own devices.
• Test with prototype hardware to test your device’s I/O and related
hardware.
• Install your device into a L ON
W
ORKS
network and test your device
interoperating with other L ON W ORKS devices.
• Use the LNS Plug-in Framework to develop an LNS plug-in for your
device.
• Test your LNS plug-in with the LonMaker Integration Tool to ensure that
your device is easy to configure and install.
The NodeBuilder FX Development Tool (Service Release 1 or later) is required to
build applications for Series 5000 devices.
For more information about using the NodeBuilder FX Development Tool, see the
NodeBuilder FX/FT Quick Start and the NodeBuilder FX User’s Guide.
The NodeBuilder FX Development Tool uses device template files to represent
target device hardware configuration information. The NodeBuilder Device
Template wizard runs during the creation of a new device template. This wizard
provides an opportunity to select predefined hardware templates. At a later
point in the development process, you can access the hardware template through
the Development and Release folders of the project pane.
After you create the hardware template, drag the new hardware template to the
device. Drag the newly created icon in the User Templates folder to the Release
folder of the device template to complete the procedure.
You can update the user-defined hardware template at any time by double-
clicking the template icon. Your new changes affect any projects opened and
compiled using this template. A Build All might be required if you change a
hardware template without making any other changes.
The following sections describe how to configure the development environment
for Neuron 3150 Control Modules and FT 5000 Control Modules.
Configuration for FT 5000 Control Modules
The NodeBuilder FX Development Tool, Service Release 1 (4.01), does not include
hardware templates for the FT 5000 Control Module. However, a future release
of the NodeBuilder FX Development Tool will include appropriate hardware
templates for the FT 5000 Control Module.
You can use the FT 5000 Evaluation Board hardware template as a base for
creating a custom hardware template for the FT 5000 Control Module. Table 15
on page 42 shows the values required for each tab in the NodeBuilder device
template editor to support an FT 5000 Control Module. Use this hardware
template as a basis for your device development.
