IEM Manual, 1.5
2 Getting started
In this chapter, the first set up of the IEM is described. On the CD provided
with the IEM, you will find this manual together with the Software of the Host
API and a Demonstration Software which is designed to cover most of the as-
pects you will encounter when using the IEM. This application is especially
written to be used with all standards of Industrial Ethernet implemented with
the IEM.
Copy the software from the
src
directory onto your PC and open the project
file, which is located in the
src/Projects
subfolder. Currently, project files are
available for the following Microcontrollers / Compilers:
Infineon XC161, Keil µVision 4
TMS320F2812, Code Composer
Note:
Please keep in mind that the Texas Instruments TMS320 processor
and the IEM have different byte sizes. The byte size on the TMS320
is 16bit and on the IEM 8bit. So be careful at your implementation
and use the prepared macros. These macros are defined in the file
<Host SW>/src-externals/COM/integral.h
Compile the project and program it into the host controller’s flash memory.
Connect the IEM to the Ethernet network and it should be ready for communi-
cation.
2.1
Software directory structure
The host software of the IEM is separated into directories as shown in Figure
2-1. Each subfolder (furthermore referenced as unit) contains at least one file
with definitions or a set of functions. A short description of the units is given in
Figure 2-2.
