Why Engineers Choose The ZeroPlus Protokollsimulatorplatine Typ B
Protocol Validation
Development Efficiency
Educational Training
Der Protokollsimulatorplatine B simuliert Datenpakete mit sechzig verschiedenen Protokollen (siehe Beschreibung unten).
Die Karte kann ein einzelnes Paket senden, wobei die Daten für jedes Paket von einem digitalen Eingang der Karte bestimmt werden. Alternativ kann die Karte so konfiguriert werden, dass sie einen kontinuierlichen Paketstrom sendet, wobei jedes Paket dieselben Daten enthält.
Die Auswahl des Protokolls erfolgt über einen DIP-Schalter.

Questions and Answers
-
Is This Suitable for Educational Use and Training?
Yes. It's a good tool for teaching digital communication protocols and logic analyser use. It gives students consistent, repeatable protocol signals without complex hardware. -
What Documentation Comes with the Protocol Simulator Board B?
The board comes with a user guide covering supported protocols, DIP switch settings, connection diagrams and example configurations. Protocol timing diagrams and sample logic analyser captures are also available. -
Can I Modify Packet Content in the Continuous Stream Mode?
No, not usually. Continuous stream mode sends pre-configured packet patterns for each protocol. To change packet content, use single packet mode, where digital inputs set the data. Some protocols allow limited variation through DIP switch sub-settings. -
How Does This Compare to Software-based Protocol Simulators?
A hardware simulator like the Protocol Simulator Board B gives real electrical timing and signal characteristics that software simulators can't replicate. That includes proper rise/fall times, impedance matching and real-world signal integrity, which matter when testing and validating a logic analyser. -
Are Any Additional Protocols Supported Beyond the Protocol Simulator Board B?
Yes. Zeroplus offers the Protocol Simulator Board A, which supports a different set of 46 protocols. The two boards complement each other across different protocol families. Board A protocols include:
- 1-WIRE
- 3-WIRE
- 7-SEGMENT LED
- AC97
- ARITHMETICAL LOGIC
- CCIR656
- DIGITAL LOGIC
- DMX512
- DSA Interface
- FlexRay2.1A
- HDQ
- IRDA
- I2C
- I2S
- JK FLIP-FLOP
- JTAG2.0
- LCD12864
- LPC-SERIRQ
- LCD1602
- LIN 2.1
- Low Pin Count
- MCU-51 DECODE
- ModBus
- MANCHESTER
- MICROWIRE
- MII
- MILLER
- NEC PD6122
- PCM
- PECI
- PM BUS1.1
- PSB Interface
- PS/2
- SLE4442
- SM BUS2.0
- ST7669
- ST BUS
- SD2.0/SDIO
- S/PDIF
- SPI
- SSI Interface
- UART(RS-232C/422/485)
- UP COUNTER
- USB1.1
- CAN 2.0B
- DIGRF
Both boards are the same size (7×9.7×2.5cm) and work the same way, but cover different protocol sets.
-
What Protocols Does the Protocol Simulator Board B Support?
The board supports 60 communication protocols, including I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet and many industrial and embedded standards. The exact list varies by firmware version. -
How Do I Select Different Protocols on the Simulator Board?
Use the DIP switch array on the board. Each switch position corresponds to a protocol. Set the switches to the protocol code given in the documentation, then power cycle the board to activate it. -
What's the Difference Between Single Packet and Continuous Stream Modes?
Single packet mode transmits one data packet when triggered, with packet content determined by digital inputs to the board. Continuous stream mode repeatedly transmits identical packets continuously. Single mode suits trigger testing whilst continuous mode benefits long-term protocol analysis and decoder validation. -
How Do I Connect the Simulator Board to My Logic Analyser?
Connect the protocol output pins to your logic analyser's input channels using standard probe leads or flying leads. Ensure proper ground connections between the board and logic analyser. The board provides clearly marked test points for easy probe attachment. -
Can This Simulator Board Work with non-Zeroplus Logic Analysers?
Yes. The Protocol Simulator Board B outputs standard TTL/CMOS logic levels, compatible with most logic analysers including Saleae, Acute Technology and others. Check your analyser supports the right voltage thresholds and sampling rates. -
What Are the Power Supply Requirements of the Board?
The Protocol Simulator Board B typically needs a 5V DC supply. Check the board documentation for current and connector details. Most setups power it from the logic analyser's auxiliary power output or a bench power supply.
