Anybus-CompactCom

Starterkit

The Anybus-CompactCom Starter Kit is a low-cost development kit for the Anybus-CompactCom platform, which gives designers instant access to the capabilities of the Anybus-CompactCom range of products. The starter kit reduces the time-to-market and brings designs to reality quicker, at a lower cost.
The kit allows both quick demonstration and in-depth evaluation capabilities, and enables a potential application to be designed and debugged into an advanced stage.

The starterkit package includes an evaluation board which can be used to develop networking applications
via the serial host interface channel. The parallel host interface channel is not supported by the board, however when utilizing the Anybus CompactCom software driver from HMS (included in the starterkit), applications require very little adaptation to operate via the parallel host interface channel.

The Anybus CompactCom software driver provides a full driver between the application main software and the Anybus CompactCom modules. The driver handles functionality like interpretation of each telegram (process data vs. messages), control of handshace registers, time-outs (watchdog time-outs), process data mapping and control of new data. In serial mode it also handles, fragmentation, CRG-calculations and retransmissions for example.

The evaluation board connects to a standard RS232 type serial port (COM port), and operates at a wide range of voltages. The board features a reset switch, and configuration switches which are used
to set the operating baudrate for the serial communications.
