1.4 CE Compliance

Equipment is generally divided into two classes.

CLASS A CLASS B

Digital equipment meant for light industrial use Digital equipment meant for home use

Less restrictive emissions requirement: less than 40 dB µV/m at 10 m (40 dB relative to 1 µV/m) or 300 µV/m

More restrictive emissions requirement: 30 dB µV/m at 10 m or 100 µV/m

These limits apply over the range of 30–230 MHz. The limits are 7 dB higher for frequencies above 230 MHz. Although the test range goes to 1 GHz, the emissions from Rabbitbased systems at frequencies above 300 MHz are generally well below background noise levels.

The BL2600 single-board computer has been tested and was found to be in conformity with the following applicable immunity and emission standards. The BL2610 single-board computer is also CE qualified as it is a sub-version of the BL2600 single-board computer. Boards that are CE-compliant have the CE mark.

NOTE: Earlier versions of the BL2600 that do not have the CE mark are not CE-compliant.

Immunity

The BL2600 series of single-board computers meets the following EN55024/1998 immunity standards.

• EN61000-4-3 (Radiated Immunity)

• EN61000-4-4 (EFT)

• EN61000-4-6 (Conducted Immunity)

Additional shielding or filtering may be required for a heavy industrial environment.

Emissions

The BL2600 series of single-board computers meets the following emission standards.

• EN55022:1998 Class B

• FCC Part 15 Class B

Your results may vary, depending on your application, so additional shielding or filtering may be needed to maintain the Class B emission qualification.

6 SBC BL2600

1.4.1 Design Guidelines

Note the following requirements for incorporating the BL2600 series of single-board computers into your application to comply with CE requirements.

General

• The power supply provided with the Tool Kit is for development purposes only. It is the

customer’s responsibility to provide a CE-compliant power supply for the end-product application.

• When connecting the BL2600 single-board computer to outdoor cables, the customer is

responsible for providing CE-approved surge/lightning protection.

• Rabbit recommends placing digital I/O or analog cables that are 3 m or longer in a

metal conduit to assist in maintaining CE compliance and to conform to good cable design practices.

• When installing or servicing the BL2600, it is the responsibility of the end-user to use

proper ESD precautions to prevent ESD damage to the BL2600.

Safety

• All inputs and outputs to and from the BL2600 series of single-board computers must

not be connected to voltages exceeding SELV levels (42.4 V AC peak, or 60 V DC).

• The lithium backup battery circuit on the BL2600 single-board computer has been

designed to protect the battery from hazardous conditions such as reverse charging and excessive current flows. Do not disable the safety features of the design.

1.4.2 Interfacing the BL2600 to Other Devices

Since the BL2600 series of single-board computers is designed to be connected to other devices, good EMC practices should be followed to ensure compliance. CE compliance is ultimately the responsibility of the integrator. Additional information, tips, and technical assistance are available from your authorized Rabbit distributor, and are also available on our Web site at www.digi.com.

1. Connect the programming cable to download programs from your PC and to program and debug the BL2600.

NOTE: Use only the programming cable that has a blue shrink wrap around the RS-232

level converter (Part No. 101-0542). If you are using a BL2610, which is based on the RCM3100, you will need the programming cable that has a red shrink wrap around the RS-232 level converter (Part No. 101-0513). Other programming cables are not voltage-compatible or their connector sizes may be different.

Connect the 10-pin PROG connector of the programming cable to header J3 on the BL2600’s RabbitCore module (the programming header is labeled J1 on special-edition BL2600s based on the RCM3365/RCM3375). Ensure that the colored edge lines up with pin 1 as shown. (Do not use the DIAG connector, which is used for monitoring only.) Connect the other end of the programming cable to a COM port on your PC. Make a note of the port to which you connect the cable, as Dynamic C will need to have this parameter configured. Note that COM1 on the PC is the default COM port used by Dynamic C.

NOTE: Some PCs now come equipped with a USB port only. It may be possible to use

10 SBC BL2600

an RS-232/USB converter (Part No. 20-151-0178) with the programming cables mentioned above. Note that not all RS-232/USB converters work with Dynamic C.

Figure 3. Programming Cable Connections

2. When all other connections have been made, you can connect power to the BL2600.

First, prepare the AC adapter for the country where it will be used by selecting the plug. The BL2600 Tool Kit presently includes Canada/Japan/U.S., Australia/N.Z., U.K., and European style plugs. Snap the top of the plug assembly into the slot at the top of the AC adapter as shown in Figure 4, then press down on the spring-loaded clip below the plug assembly to allow the plug assembly to click into place.

Connect the AC adapter to header J12 on the BL2600 as shown in Figure 4. You can use the crimps and the friction-lock connector included in the Tool Kit to connect the leads from the power supply, then match the friction lock tab on the friction-lock connector to the back of header J12 on the BL2600 as shown. The friction-lock connector will only fit one way.

Figure 4. Power Supply Connections

3. Apply power.

Plug in the AC adapter. The power LED will light up when the BL2600 is powered up correctly.

CAUTION: Unplug the AC adapter while you make or otherwise work with the connections

to the headers. This will protect your BL2600 from inadvertent shorts or power spikes.

2.2.1 Hardware Reset

A hardware reset is done by unplugging the ACV adapter, then plugging it back in, or by pressing the RESET button located just above the RabbitCore module.

2.3 Installing Dynamic C

If you have not yet installed Dynamic C version 8.51 (or a later version), do so now by inserting the Dynamic C CD from the BL2600 Tool Kit in your PC’s CD-ROM drive. The CD will auto-install unless you have disabled auto-install on your PC.

If the CD does not auto-install, click Start > Run from the Windows Start button and browse for the Dynamic C setup.exe file on your CD drive. Click OK to begin the installation once you have selected the setup.exe file.

The online documentation is installed along with Dynamic C, and an icon for the documentation menu is placed on the workstation’s desktop. Double-click this icon to reach the menu. If the icon is missing, create a new desktop icon that points to default.htm in the

docs folder, found in the Dynamic C installation folder.

The latest versions of all documents are always available for free, unregistered download from our Web sites as well.

The Dynamic C User’s Manual provides detailed instructions for the installation of Dynamic C and any future upgrades.

NOTE: If you have an earlier version of Dynamic C already installed, the default instal-

lation of the later version will be in a different folder, and a separate icon will appear on your desktop.

Once your installation is complete, you will have up to three icons on your PC desktop. One icon is for Dynamic C, one opens the documentation menu, and the third is for the Rabbit Field Utility, a tool used to download pre-compiled software to a target system.

If you have purchased any of the optional Dynamic C modules, install them after installing Dynamic C. The modules may be installed in any order. You must install the modules in the same directory where Dynamic C was installed.

12 SBC BL2600

2.4 Starting Dynamic C

Once the BL2600 is connected to your PC and to a power source, start Dynamic C by double-clicking on the Dynamic C icon on your desktop or in your Start menu.

If you are using a USB port to connect your computer to the BL2600, choose Options >

Project Options Communications tab. Click OK to save the settings.

If you are using a BL2600 model running at 44.2 MHz, set the compiler to run the application in the fast program execution SRAM by selecting “Code and BIOS in Flash, Run in RAM” in the “BIOS Memory Setting” on the Compiler tab under the Options > Project

Options

menu. Click OK to save the settings.

Dynamic C defaults to using the serial port on your PC that you specified during installation. If the port setting is correct, Dynamic C should detect the BL2600 and go through a sequence of steps to cold-boot the BL2600 and to compile the BIOS. (Some versions of Dynamic C will not do the initial BIOS compile and load until the first time you compile a program.)

If you receive the message No Rabbit Processor Detected, the programming cable may be connected to the wrong COM port, a connection may be faulty, or the target system may not be powered up. First, check both ends of the programming cable to ensure that it is firmly plugged into the PC and the programming port.

and check “Use USB to Serial Converter” in “Serial Options” on the

If there are no faults with the hardware, select a different COM port within Dynamic C. On your computer, open Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager >

Ports

and look at the list of available COM ports. In Dynamic C, select Options > Proj-

ect Options

, then select one of these available COM ports on the Communications tab, then click OK. Press <Ctrl-Y> to force Dynamic C to recompile the BIOS. If Dynamic C still reports it is unable to locate the target system, repeat the above steps for another available COM port. You should receive a Bios compiled successfully message once this step is completed successfully.

If Dynamic C appears to compile the BIOS successfully, but you then receive a communication error message when you compile and load a sample program, it is possible that your PC cannot handle the higher program-loading baud rate. Try changing the maximum download rate to a slower baud rate as follows.

• Locate the Serial Options dialog in the Dynamic C Options > Communications

menu. Select a slower Max download baud rate. Click OK to save the settings.

If a program compiles and loads, but then loses target communication before you can begin debugging, it is possible that your PC cannot handle the default debugging baud rate. Try lowering the debugging baud rate as follows.

• Locate the Serial Options dialog in the Dynamic C Options > Communications

menu. Choose a lower debug baud rate. Click OK to save the settings.

User’s Manual 13

2.5 PONG.C

You are now ready to test your set-up by running a sample program.

Find the file PONG.C, which is in the Dynamic C SAMPLES folder. To run the program, open it with the File menu (if it is not still open), compile it using the Compile menu, and then run it by selecting Run in the Run menu. The STDIO window will open and will display a small square bouncing around in a box.

This program shows that the CPU is working. The sample program described in Section 5.2.3, “Run the PINGME.C Demo,” tests the TCP/IP portion of the board.

2.6 Where Do I Go From Here?

NOTE: If you purchased your BL2600 through a distributor or Rabbit partner, contact

the distributor or partner first for technical support.

If there are any problems at this point:

• Use the Dynamic C Help menu to get further assistance with Dynamic C.

• Check the Rabbit Technical Bulletin Board and forums at www.rabbit.com/support/bb/

and at www.rabbit.com/forums/.

• Use the Technical Support e-mail form at www.rabbit.com/support/questionSubmit.shtml.

If the sample program ran fine, you are now ready to go on to explore other BL2600 features and develop your own applications.

Chapter 3, “Subsystems,” provides a description of the BL2600’s features, Chapter 4, “Software,” describes the Dynamic C software libraries and introduces some sample programs, and Chapter 5, “Using the TCP/IP Features,” explains the TCP/IP features.

3.1.1 Connector Options

Standard BL2600 models are equipped with two 1 × 20 friction-lock connector terminals (J1 and J2), two polarized 1 × 10 friction-lock connector terminals (J8 and J15) where pin 9 is removed to polarize the connector terminals, one 1 × 13 friction-lock connector terminal (J16), and one 1 × 10 friction-lock connector terminal (J17); all of these friction-lock connector terminals have a 0.1" pitch.

Two 4-pin 0.156" friction-lock connector terminals at J5 and J7 are installed to supply power (DCIN and +5 V) to the RabbitNet peripheral expansion boards. The 4-pin 0.156" friction-lock connector terminal at J12 is for the main power supply connections.

Table 3 lists Molex connector part numbers for the crimp terminals, housings, and polarizing keys needed to assemble female friction-lock connector assemblies for use with their male counterparts on the BL2600.

3.2.1 Digital Inputs

The BL2600 has 16 digital inputs, DIN16–DIN31, each of which is protected over a range of –36 V to +36 V. The inputs are factory-configured to be pulled up to +5 V, but they can also be pulled up to +K or DCIN, or pulled down to 0 V in banks by changing a jumper as shown in Figure 7.

CAUTION: Do not simultaneously jumper more than one setting on a particular jumper header (JP3, JP4, and JP5) when configuring a bank of digital inputs.

Figure 7. BL2600 Digital Inputs DIN16–DIN31 [Pulled Up—Factory Default]

3.2.2 PWM Outputs

Digital inputs DIN20–DIN23 can be used as PWM output channels by setting the jumper on header JP4 across pins 7–8 to pull the digital inputs to ground. Once the PWM driver sets up a given PWM channel, the corresponding digital input channel is no longer available for use as a digital input. The output voltage swing will be 0 to 1.65 V, which is not suitable for interfacing only to CMOS-level inputs. Since the output impedance is approximately 13 k, the input impedance of the circuit the PWM output is connected to should be at least 10 times as high.

The sample program PWM.C in the IO subdirectory in SAMPLES\BL2600 shows how to set up and use the PWM outputs.

The BL2600 has four high-current digital outputs, HOUT0–HOUT3, which can each sink or source up to 2 A. Figure 9 shows a wiring diagram for using the digital outputs in either a sinking or a souring configuration.

Figure 9. BL2600 High-Current Digital Outputs

All the digital outputs sink and source actively. They can be used as high-side drivers, lowside drivers, or as an H-bridge driver. When the BL2600 is first powered up or reset, all the outputs are disabled, that is, at a high-impedance tristate, until the digHoutConfig software function call is made. The digHoutConfig call sets the initial state of each high-current output according to the configuration specified by the user, and enables the digital outputs to their initial status.

CAUTION: If you are using a BL2600 with the IDC header connectors, beware that an individual IDC header pin can only handle up to 1 A. Since the same high-current outputs are available on opposite pairs of IDC header connectors, you can still use the 2 A sinking or sourcing capability of the BL2600 by wiring all your connections, including the ground, in parallel to the opposite pairs (see Figure 10 for an example).

The BL2600 has 16 configurable I/O that may be configured individually in software as either digital inputs or as sinking digital outputs. By default, a configurable I/O channel is a digital input, but may be set as a sinking digital output by using the digOutConfig function call.

As for the nonconfigurable digital inputs, the actual switching threshold is approximately

1.40 V. Anything below this value is a logic 0, and anything above is a logic 1. The digital inputs are each fully protected over a range of -36 V to +36 V, and can handle short spikes of ±40 V.

NOTE: If the inputs are pulled up to +K or to DCIN, the voltage range over which

the digital inputs are protected changes to +K (or DCIN) – 36 V to +36 V.

When set as a sinking digital output, a configurable I/O channel can sink up to 200 mA at up to 40 V. When you use the software digOutConfig function call to set the configurable I/O, DIO00–DIO15 are considered to be digital output channels 00–15. The output can be set up either as a sinking output or it can be put in a high-impedance tristate.

When a configurable I/O is configured as a sinking output, be sure to connect an external voltage source up to 36 V DC across +K and GND on header J1/J3, and set the pullup jumper on the corresponding JP1/JP2 header to +K.
