1. Introduction

The EVERLINE Advanced Driver Programming system allows designers to customize LED Driver

parameters with the EVERset graphical user interface and a compatible programming tool. This

system will set the driver’s minimum and maximum output currents, dimming curves, dimming

control voltages, and to enable the dim to off command. Specific configurations can then be set

and saved for production use. Programming capabilities will vary depending on the specific

driver family.

The programming tool will also “read” and display values already programmed into a driver,

including the driver’s part number.

The programming of the LED driver is done with a programming tool connected to a computer

with a USB cable. The programming tool can be used to program compatible drivers via a wired

or wireless connection depending on the specific tool and driver.

2. Computer System Requirements

The minimum PC requirements for the EVERset software are:

▪ >512MB RAM

▪ 1 USB Port (v2.0)

▪ Operating System: Microsoft Windows® 7/8/10

▪ FTDI drivers

Hardware Requirements

• Handheld Programming Tool

o LDPC000A Programming Tool for wired or wireless interfaces

o LDPCEL0A Programming Tool for RS-232 interfaces

• EVERset Programming Software

• Printer (Optional)



3. Definitions

The programming tool is for use in setting the output parameters of compatible constant current

drivers. The controlled settings and their definitions are listed below:

System Definitions

EVERset Programming Software

Graphical User Interface (GUI) loaded onto a computer for establishing programmed settings

for compatible Everline drivers.

LDPC000A Programming Tool

Handheld programming tool connected to a computer via USB that is used to program select

LED drivers via a wired or wireless (RFID) interface

LDPCEL0A Programming Tool

Handheld programming tool connected to a computer via USB that is used to program select

LED drivers via a RS-232 interface

UserManagement Software

This program (installed along with EVERset) is used to set up new users with passwords and

access level permission capabilities on a computer. Production mode settings are also

established with this program.

Setting Definitions

Output Current

This is the driver’s output current when the dimming control is set at full output or when the

driver is not connected to a dimming control.

Minimum Dim Current:

This is the driver’s output current when connected to a control set to the minimum dimming

control voltage.

Dimming Curve:

The 0-10V dimming curve can be set to Linear, Soft Start or Logarithmic. The curves are

displayed with an accompanying graph in EVERset.

Full Bright Control Voltage

This is the minimum voltage on the 0-10V control range that will provide maximum output

current. This is commonly set around 8V to allow for variances in dimming controls.

Full Dim Control Voltage:

This is the maximum voltage on the 0-10V control range that will provide the minimum

output current. This is typically set around 1V to allow for variances in dimming controls

Dim-to-off:

This is the functionality that turns off the output current while the driver still has power

connected to it.

Dim-to-Off Control Voltage:

This is the control voltage where the driver will go in the off mode. Any voltage below this

will also result in the off mode.



Lumen Maintenance

This feature increases the output current of the driver over time to compensate for the

lumen depreciation of the LED module. Initial and final drive currents along with the

compensation period are adjustable.

RFID

Radio Frequency Identification for wireless programming of a driver. This uses near field

communication (NFC) between the driver and the configuration tool for programming values

into the driver.

MDC

Multi-Driver Configuration for programming or reading a compatible driver with leads

connected to the LDPC000A programming tool. This can be used with specific drivers that

are compatible with EVERset but do not have wireless programming capabilities.

Products

Products shown in this list use the EVERset software for programming. Additional products

will continue to be added through updates.

Profiles

The saved set of all values for a specific driver setting. These can be recalled for

programming.



4. Getting Started/Setup • Programming Software

• The Complete EVERset Program is installed with the setup file name EVERset_x.x.x.exe

(x values will change with revision updates).

• This file may require administrator access on a computer for installation of:

• EVERset Program

The EVERset program is used for all programming applications from

creating driver configurations, saving driver profiles, to production

programming.

• UserManagement

The UserManagement program is used to manage and create user names,

passwords, and to set the access levels of production, engineering and

administration. For more detailed information refer to section 13 User

Management Setup.

Note: Administration password will be provided separately

• Program Data File Location

• A program data file will be installed in the folder C:\ProgramData\ULT that

contains:

• Saved Program Configuration Profile files in ProfileLists

• Help information

• Driver database configuration files

• Programming Hardware

• Programming Tool: P/N LDPC000A

• Connect the programing tool to a USB port on the computer for programming.

• The programming tool has indicator lights that will illuminate when connected to

a powered USB port

• The programming tool also has a connector receptacle for use when tuning

drivers that do not have wireless tuning capabilities and require MDC wired

tuning.

• Programming Tool: P/N LDPCEL0A

• Connect the programming tool to a USB port on the computer for programming.

• The programming tool has a RJ45 connector for use with compatible LED drivers.

• The username and password will correspond to an account setup for engineering

mode or production. This will determine the functionality allowed when EVERset

is launched.

• See Section 8: UserManagement Setup for information on setting up user

accounts.



5. Programming Interfaces: RFID, Wired and ESI

Within the Products menu bar as indicated above there is the option to Read and Program in either

the RFID, Wired or ESI mode.

RFID uses near field communication to perform these functions using the LDPC000A programming

tool and driver antenna. RFID programming programs one driver at a time. When EVERset is in RFID

read mode, the LDPC000A programming tool will be continuously looking for an RFID tag to read.

Wired uses leads connected directly to the driver from the LDPC000A programming tool and

communicates via MDC (Multi-Driver Configuration) for programming. The leads are connected

between the configuration tool and the dimming control leads of the driver. When EVERset is in the

Wired read mode, the black button on the LDPC000A programming tool must be pressed to read

the driver that is connected to the tool. Each time a new driver is connected, the black button must

be pressed on the LDPC000A to read the driver.

Two harnesses with leads for programming are provided with the configuration tool and plug into a

socket adjacent to the USB cable. One harness has fast connectors (as shown in the picture)

designed to program drivers with leads. The other harness has pin terminals and is designed for use

with drivers that have terminal blocks.

Wired programming can program four drivers simultaneously under the following conditions:

• Four of the same models drivers with the same profile.

• Three different model drivers with two of the same drivers having the same profile.

• Only one profile per driver per model, different profiles of the same model cannot be

programmed simultaneously.



ESI programming uses the LDPCEL0A programming tool which has a male RJ-45 connector that

connects directly to the female RJ-45 adapter on a compatible driver.

When EVERset is in the ESI read mode the black ‘Read’ button at the top of the screen must be

clicked to read the driver connected to the LDPCEL0A programming tool. Each time a new driver is

connected, the ‘Read’ button must be clicked to read the driver.



6. Engineering Mode

Initial Screen Layout – Products Screen

1. Indicates that the program is in the Products Screen. Note: Clicking on the adjacent Profiles tab will

access the Profiles Screen. 2. The “OFF” indicates that the program is NOT in the Read Mode. To enter the Read Mode click on

the adjacent arrow and “ON” will appear in green. The Mode is also displayed in the blue status

ribbon.

3. This indicates the model currently on the screen for programming or developing a profile. For

different models, scroll down the list and click on them. The Search window at the top of the

products list can be used to limit the list for easier selection. By typing in a partial catalog

number, the list can be narrowed down. Example “30” will provide only part numbers that

contain “30”. The same can be done with “PWX” or other sections of the part number.

4. The connected status indicates if the LDPC000A programming tool is connected to the

computer.

5. This button expands the screen for better access to the programming sliders in lieu of showing

the values in the tables. For smaller monitors, this may be beneficial when working in the

Dimming setup screen. Clicking on the button a second time brings the screen back to the initial

state.

6. Click on the arrow to minimize the product list. Clicking on the button a second time returns the

product list back to the screen.



Reading a Driver’s Programmed Values:

The current configuration of a compatible driver can be read through EVERset. Once the driver has

been read, the configuration can be saved for programming or modified and programmed back to

the driver through the Engineering mode.

Reading a Driver’s Programmed Values through the RFID Interface:

Set the driver on its side and place the programming tool so that it is coplanar with the antenna.

The indicator lights will change to green once the program values have been read. “READ Complete”

will also appear momentarily on the screen.

tab. Note: the Output Current selected on the Output tab will populate here.

2. Select the minimum Dim Current, the lowest value is determined by the driver.

a. The default minimum dim current will be a percentage of the maximum output current. The

percentage is dependent on the driver. When this option is selected the minimum dim

current will change when the output current is changed. Once the driver reaches the lowest

minimum dim current a notification message will appear and the program will toggle over to

have the minimum dim current selected by mA level instead of percentage.

b. The radio button above the mA box can also be selected. This will make the value static and

it will no longer automatically change when the output current is changed.

3. Select the Dimming Curve: Linear, Soft Start, or Logarithmic.

a. Logarithmic provides the options for different factors. This changes how steep the curve will

be.

4. Set the Full Bright Control Voltage.

5. Set the Minimum Dim Control Voltage.

6. If desired, enable Dim-to-Off by setting the Dim-to-Off control voltage to >0.

a. Minimum Dim Control Voltage must be >0.2V higher than Dim-to-Off Control Voltage or an

error message will appear. Note: for best operation, use at least >0.5V between the minimum dim

control voltage and the dim-to-off control voltage. 7. The Dim Curve Chart will adjust accordingly as the values are selected

8. The expand window button can be used to minimize the summary boxes if needed to display the

full dimming curve graph on the screen.
