Software Development Kit to evaluate LonWorks®
The Mini FX EVK is the fastest, simplest, and most cost effective way to evaluate the LonWorks® control networking technology using either twisted pair or power line media. In a matter of minutes, you can set up and demonstrate twisted-pair or power-line LonWorks control networking, as well as write, compile, and load control networking applications for devices equipped with Echelon Series 5000 and Series 3100 Neuron® microprocessors or smart transceivers.
With the SDK, developers will be able to rapidly evaluate the LonWorks control networking platform, evaluate Echelon’s free topology twisted pair and power line transceivers, and create simple LonWorks applications for intelligent devices (even production grade).
The SDK includes the tools you need to compile and build Neuron C applications including:
- Neuron C Compiler
- Neuron C Assembler
- Neuron C Linker
- Integrated Interoperable Self-Installation (ISI) plug-and-play installation code and developer’s kit
NodeBuilder® Resource Editor utility to view standard resource definition and view, create, and modify custom resource definitions
Benefits
- Enables rapid evaluation of LonWorks application development and the benefits of LonWorks control networking
- Provides a quick start with example control networking application source code
- Demonstrates the benefits of the ISO/IEC 14908‑1 Control Network Protocol (a.k.a. EN14908.1, EN14908.2 and EN14908.3)
- Lets you develop devices that don’t require installation tools such as home appliances that self-install when a consumer plugs them into the wall
