1.6.3.5 Near and Far ES8000 Definitions
The near EV8000 signalling processor board is connected to the µC board via the J1 connector.
Therefore all FX8xx devices located on the near signalling processor board are considered to be
near devices and are controlled by near device forms.
The far signalling processor is created by taking a signalling processor board out of a second
EV8000 evaluation kit. It should be connected to the near signalling processor board by using
another 20-way flat cable between connector J3 on the near board and connector J1 on the far
board. Pin 1 on connector J3 should be connected to Pin 1 on connector J1. All FX8xx devices
located on the far signalling processor board are considered to be far devices and are controlled
by far device forms.
Note: In certain parts of the ES8000 Windows Application Software the variables CBUS and CBUS2 are
used. These correspond to the near and far boards respectively.
1.6.3.6 ES8000 and EV8000 Startup Procedure
Ensure all of the hardware is connected correctly. Follow the ‘Starting the ES8000 Windows
Application Software’ instructions described earlier. When the ES8000 Windows Application
Software is executed a pop-up window asks the user to switch on the EV8000 kit. Switch on the
power supply feeding the signalling processor and µC boards.
When power has been applied the Add Device pop-up window is opened. If the user is ready to
add a device form to the view select the device and click on OK. Click on cancel if you do not
require a device form.
Perform a General Reset when the first device form is opened, any further device forms added
will not require a General Reset unless they have been opened on the other C-BUS (near or far).
If the ES8000 Windows Application Software is executed with power already applied to the
signalling processor and µC boards, simply press the reset switch (SW1) on the µC board. The
Add Device window should now open.
If these methods fail, shutdown the ES8000 application and turn off the power supply to the
signalling processor and µC boards. Repeat the procedure described above.
