1 Introduction
This manual describes the procedure for using the ERTEC 200P for HW development of a PROFINET IO device and
the properties of the EB 200P evaluation board.
The intended use of the EB 200P evaluation board is as follows:
It serves as a template for development of your own PROFINET IO device hardware.
It supports development and testing of your own PROFINET IO device application software.
It enables testing of your hardware on a supplementary board together with the EB 200P, where applicable.
1.1 Procedure when using ERTEC 200P to develop your own PROFINET IO Device
If you are using the recommended minimum configuration for a PROFINET IO device, no changes (or only minor
changes) have to be made in the board support package (BSP) for your additionally required hardware. The board
support package adapts the operating system to the hardware.
Procedure
You can use ERTEC 200P to develop your own hardware in one of two ways:
o By using a test board on the EB 200P to adapt and test your application circuit
o By using ERTEC 200P directly to develop and test your complete target hardware
Note the following boundary conditions for hardware development:
Debug interfaces for commissioning and testing
Always make provision for connectors on your hardware to the JTAG interface and, if possible, to a USB virtual serial
interface (UART) of the ERTEC 200P in order to facilitate commissioning.
