1. I-8000 Family (C Language)

The 8000 controller comprises a central processor (CPU), power supply, I/O bus,
communication interfaces, front panel control facilities and connectors to plug in various I/O
modules. The 8000 can operate either as an intelligent front end, connected to a host
machine under control of a SCADA package, or as an autonomous controller running an
embedded application. In this mode it is possible to customize the unit to specific
applications.

The main central processing module (CPM) is based on the powerful AMD 80188/80186
series of microprocessors. The CPM can be considered to be an integrated PC comprising up
to 32Mbytes of Flash storage and up to 512K bytes of battery supported SRAM. The
processor runs it's own version of DOS optimised for real time applications. The extension of
the processor bus into the I/O bus permits high-speed data access from the high
performance parallel I/O modules.

In addition to the standard network interface each CPM is supplied with two serial ports
which can be configured to be either RS232 or 485. These ports can be used to extend the
I/O capability of the unit using or alternatively programmed to drive external serial devices.

 Tips & Warnings

Grounding

A good common ground reference (earth ground) is essential for proper operation of the
I-8000. One side of all control circuits, power circuits and the ground lead must be properly
connected to earth ground by either installing a ground rod in close proximity to the
enclosure or by connecting to the incoming power system ground. There must be a
single-point ground (i.e. copper bus bar) for all devices in the enclosure that require an earth
ground.

2. To mount the I-8000 on a surface

1. Install the four mounting screws into the 4 keyhole mounting holes

2. Fasten the screws securely

2.1.2. Wiring the I-8000

The package includes a RS-232 cable for connecting the I-8000 to a PC/Laptop. The I-8000
has the power supply interface for supplying power from the power supply.

Step 1: Connect to the power supply

The I-8000 requires a 10 to 30 VDC power supply to operate.

i. Connect the +Vs of the I-8000 to the positive of the power supply.
ii. Connect the GND of the I-8000 to the negative of the power supply.

Step 2: Connect to a PC

Connect the COM1 of the I-8000 to a PC using a RS-232 cable that was provided with the
package.

If your I-8000 are Ethernet controller, you also can connect to PC by using an ethernet cable.

If PC/Laptop has no COM port, you can use the I-7560 (USB to RS-232 converter) for
connection between I-8000 and PC/Laptop.

Before using the I-7560 converter, you must install the USB driver.

The USB driver can be obtained from:

ftp://ftp.icpdas.com/pub/cd/8000cd/napdos/7000/756x/

After installing the USB driver, please check the “Device Manager to make sure the driver has
been installed and the COM port number which is assigned to USB interface.

2.1.3. Inserting I/O Modules

I-8000 has 4/8 I/O expansion slots to expand the functions of I-8000, allowing it to
communicate with external I/O modules, and before choosing the right I/O modules; you
first need to know the I/O expansion capacities in order to choose the best expansion
module for achieving maximal efficiency.

There are more than 30 high profile I/O modules available for interfacing many different
measurements, including thermocouple, voltage, RTD, current, resistance, strain, digital,…,
etc., and these modules have their own manuals, so if you are using them you should
supplement this manual with the manual specifically designed for the special module.

For more information about the I/O expansion modules that are compatible with I-8000, see
http://www.icpdas.com/products/PAC/i-8000/8000_IO_modules.htm#i87

Step 1: Read the I/O user manual

These modules have their own manuals, so if you are using them you should supplement
this manual with the manual specifically designed for the special module.

The I/O user manuals can be found separately on the CD that was provided with the package
or by downloading the latest version from ICP DAS web site.

3. “Hello World” - Your First Program

When you learn every computer programming language you may realize that the first
program to demonstrate is "Hello World", it provides a cursory introduction to the
language's syntax and output.

3.1. C Compiler Installation

C is prized for its efficiency, and is the most popular programming language for writing
applications.

Before writing your first I-8000 program, ensure that you have the necessary C/C++ compiler
and the corresponding functions library on your system.

The following is a list of the C compilers that are commonly used in the application
development services.

 Turbo C++ Version 1.01

 Turbo C Version 2.01

 Borland C++ Versions 3.1 - 5.2.x

 MSC

 MSVC ++

I-8000 Series (C Language Based) User Manual, Version 1.0.1 Page: 55

Copyright © 2012 ICP DAS Co., Ltd. All Rights Reserved. E-mail: [email protected]
We recommend that you use Borland C++ compiler as the libraries have been created on the
companion CD.

Tips & Warnings

Before compiling an application, you need to take care of the following

matters.

Generate a standard DOS executable program

Set the CPU option to 80188/80186

Set the floating point option to EMULATION if floating point

computation is required. (Be sure not to choose 8087)

Cancel the Debug Information function as this helps to reduce

program size. (MiniOS7 supports this feature.).

There are two types of functions below for using COM port.

1. MiniOS7 COM port functions

2. (C style) Standard COM port functions

Tips & Warnings

(C style) Standard COM port functions only can be used with the COM1, if
you use the COM1 port, you’ll have the alternative of MiniOS7 COM
ports functions or (C style) Standard COM port functions. If you
choose the ones, then another cannot be used.

4.8. API for WatchDog Timer (WDT)

● The I-8000 equips the MiniOS7, the small-cored operating system. MiniOS7 uses the
Timer 2 (A CPU internal timer) as system Timer. It is 16-bits Timer, and generate
interrupt every 1 ms. So the accuracy of system is 1 ms.

● The Watch Dog Timer is always enabled, and the system Timer ISR (Interrupt Service
Routine) refreshes it.

● The system is reset by WatchDog. The timeout period of WatchDog is 0.8 seconds.

 API for refreshing WDT

1. EnableWDT()

The WDT is always enabled, before user’s programming to refresh it, the EnableWDT()
must be called to stop refreshing WDT.

2. RefreshWDT()

After EnableWDT() stop refreshing WDT, the RefreshWDT() must be called to refresh
the WDT.

3. DisableWDT()

After user’s programming to refresh WDT, the DisableWDT() should be called to

automatically refresh the WDT.

For example, to refresh the Watchdog Timer.

#include <stdio.h>
#include “8000E.h”

void main(void)
{
Unsigned long time iTime;

InitLib(); /* Initiate the 8000E library */

Enable WDT();
While(!quit)
{
RefreshWDT();
User_function();
}
DisableWDT();
