Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE
I have a solar explorer kit with F28M35H52C1 control card.and now i want to run the GUI SolarExplorer_F28M35x_Gui.exe.and I did what the solar explorer kit Quick start guide said.namely the following settings
Ethernet setup using static IP
1) Disable any wireless connection that may be active on host computer.
2) Click start -> control panel -> double click Network Connections.
3) Identify the wired connection to use. “Local Area Connection” or “wired Network Connection” or some other name depending on the computer in use.
4) Right click on the identified network connection in step 3 -> click Properties. The “Local Area Connection” Properties window shows up.
5) In the “Local Area Connection Properties “window select the General tab and scroll down in the “this connection uses the following items “ list and select “Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)” item. Click properties. “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” window pops up.
6) In “Internet Protocol (TCP /IP) Properties” window in General tab, click on “Use the following IP address” radio button and enter the numbers shown in the figure below.
7) Click ok in “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” window and click close in “Local Area Connection Properties” window.
Now connect an Ethernet cable from the F28M35x control card to the Ethernet port on the host machine. Power up the board by moving SW2 to On position. The LED on the controlCARD and the LED in M5 macro will begin blinking, indicating that the code is being executed. Wait for the Ethernet address to be resolved.
Running the TMDSSOLAR(C)EXPKIT GUI
1) Double click the SolarExplorer_F28M35x_Gui.exe to open up the GUI. In the application GUI click
Connection -> Start Connection wizard. In the “Connection wizard window” click connect to engine button. Once connection is made, make selections as below.
In the “Targets” window select ConcertoM -> F28M35H52C1 M3 device.
In the middle window : Commros Transport -> Ethernet.
In the right window enter a value of the static host IP 169.254.254.169
Click connect.
2) The Gui as shown in Fig 8 will appear, it is divided into Control and Monitoring sections, similar to the section on the F28035x Gui (details of each are not repeated here for succinctness of the guide). The communication to the host is implemented over Ethernet on the M3 core on the F28M35H52C1 device using CrossHairs tool.
3) The user can now vary light value by entering a value in the text box, to start the inverter operation click PowerStart and see the MPPT tracking on the graph window.
4) User can check MPPT tracking under varying light conditions.
5) To stop, enter Light Command value to zero and also click inverter stop.
I did search for a result in the forum,but it was just for the control card F28035,here is the link
http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000/f/171/p/316994/1190974.aspx#1190974
it functioned well with the F28035 as in this link explained,but now i want to use F28M35H52C1 control card to run the GUI through an enthernet cable. how can i establish the connection.Anyone has a suggestion?
