Programmable Logic Controller Library

Library to handle the X-NUCLEO-PLC01A1 Programmable Logic Controller Expansion Board based on the VNI8200XP (solid state relay) and CLT01-38SQ7 (octal digital termination array) components.

Information

For further details on VNI8200XP (Octal high side smart power solid state relay with serial/parallel selectable interface on chip) please refer to ST's web site.

For further details on CLT01-38SQ7 (High speed digital input current limiter) please refer to ST's web site.

SPI configuration

Pin D3 and D13 providing the SPI serial clock are short-circuited in the X-NUCLEO-PLC01A1 Expansion Board.

If you use pin D13 for the SPI clock, please be aware that on STM32 Nucleo boards you may not drive the LED, otherwise you will get a conflict: the LED on STM32 Nucleo boards is connected to pin D13.

Platform compatibility

  • NUCLEO boards have been tested with the default configuration provided by the HelloWorld_PLC01A1 example. 

return DSPI_HAL_ReadData(spi_address[obj->instance]);

X-NUCLEO-PLC01A1 board powering and startup

The following steps must be followed to run the X-NUCLEO-PLC01A1:

  1. Plug the X-NUCLEO-PLC01A1 onto a base board
  2. Connect the base board to a PC via a standard Type A / mini (or micro) B USB cable
  3. Download the firmware on the MCU hosted on the base board
  4. Supply 24 V to the X-NUCLEO-PLC01A1 board through the J8 connector
  5. The HelloWorld_PLC01A1 demonstration firmware is ready to run: connect any of the 8 inputs on the J8 connector to see the corresponding output on the J10 connector capable of driving a load (i.e. short-circuit input “x” with the 24 V and connect the corresponding output “x” to a load).
