ONWORKS Twisted Pair Control Modules share a

common footprint and I/O interface to allow systems with different media requirements to share common application electronics board designs. The FT 5000 Control Module has a similar I/O interface so that you can easily modify designs that use a Neuron 3150 Control Module to use the FT 5000 Control Module.

Service Pin

You can access the service pin (SVC~) of the FT 5000 Control Module at pin 10 of the JP1 header. You can access the service pin (SERVICE~) of the Neuron 3150 Control Module at pin 18 of the P1 header.

This pin is used for various network installation and maintenance scenarios. The function of this pin is described in the Series 5000 Chip Data Book or Neuron Chip Data Book.

Figure 2 shows a typical circuit for the device service pin. Typical applications do not require debounce conditioning of momentary push buttons attached to the service or reset pins. The software response time associated with these inputs is long enough to effectively provide a software debounce for switches with a contact bounce settling time as long as 20 msec.

8 Mechanical Considerations

Mechanical Footprint

The Neuron 3150 Twisted Pair Control Modules share a common footprint and connectors as shown in Figure 5 on page 10. The most common control module mounting scenario uses socket strips on the application electronics board which connect with P1 and P2 as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 on page 11. Example vendor information for socket strips that mate with the 0.025 inch (0.64 mm) square header posts of P1 and P2 are listed in Table 6 on page 11.

If necessary, taller socket strips can be used to gain more clearance between the control module and the application board. Decisions about component placement on the application electronics board must also consider the electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) issues discussed in Chapter 5, Design Issues, on page 27.

Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the maximum height of parts on both sides of the control modules. Application designs using the transformer-isolated twisted pair transceivers should maintain a minimum of 0.15 inch (3.81 mm) clearance from P2 pins and traces on the network side of the transformer to achieve the minimum isolation specified for these modules. Refer to EMI Design Issues on page 28 and Neuron 3150 Control Module Keepout Areas on page 31 for isolation requirements.

Three plated mounting holes that accept No. 6 (3.5 mm) mounting screws are electrically connected to the control module ground plane. When the 0.025 inch (0.64 mm) square posts of P1 and P2 are inserted into the sockets they provide enough holding strength (3 oz (85 g)/pin) to secure the control module against shock and vibration to the operating limits of the components on the control module. However, at least one metal standoff and fastening screw located at the mounting hole near the P2 connector is recommended to meet EMI limits and for ESD protection (see Chapter 5).

For the TP/FT-10 control modules, the recommended metal standoff height is

0.56 inch (14.3 mm) to provide adequate clearance. Note that the Methode Socket (referenced in Table 6) in this case is not recommended, because its minimum insertion depth requirement is not met. Use of metal 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) #6 standoffs together with metal spacers can achieve this. Alternately, metal 0.56 inch (14.3 mm) #6 standoffs alone will be adequate. For the TP/XF and TP/FT-10F control modules, 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) #6 metal standoffs alone are recommended.

Figure 8 on page 12 presents the height restrictions of the component side of the control module. The board is divided into two height zones: the maximum height of components in the first zone is 0.20 inch (5.1 mm). The second zone's components are 0.47 inch (11.93 mm) for the TP/XF and TP/FT-10F control modules and 0.555 inch (14.1 mm) for the TP/FT-10 control module. Care should be taken to ensure that no components on the application electronics board interfere with the height restricted areas of the control modules.

Figure 9 on page 13 shows the recommended PCB pad layout for the application electronics board to interconnect a control module with an application board that has socket strips mounted on the component side.
