Standard ESD precautions must be taken when handling electronic equipment. Exercise extreme caution handling the hardware and connecting test equipment to the nonisolated portion of the MAX78615+PPM modem board (highlighted in red below). Ignoring the safety requirements can lead to shock, injury, and damage of the hardware.
MAX78615+PPM Evaluation Kit User Manual 2 Installation and Setup The MAX78615+PPM evaluation kit connects to a PC through a USB cable that provides both power and data communication to the board. A Windows®-based graphical user interface (GUI) communicates with the device over a USB/SPI virtual COM port.
2.2 Powering the Evaluation Kit Board The MAX78615+PPM evaluation board is normally powered through the USB port (J21). In case the power needs to be supplied from a different source, a 5VDC supply can be connected to the terminal block J14. Jumper J44 selects the power source as in Table 1.
MAX78615+PPM Evaluation Kit User Manual The pins IFC0 and IFC1 are sampled at power-on and set as general purpose digital I/O (MP/multipurpose) after the initialization phase. 2.3.2 Serial Interface Signals Connection (All Interfaces) The serial interface signals can be connected to the USB interface (default configuration) or to the PMOD connector (J16).
DEVICE ADDRESS BIT 1 (AD1) BIT 0 (AD0) The evaluation board includes a RS-485/422 transceiver. The MAX78615+PPM serial UART can be connected to the RS-485/422 transceiver when a multi-drop RS-485/422 bus is available. UART/USB Interface and UART/RS-485/422 Interface Configuration In order to operate the UART through the USB/FTDI device or RS-485/422, the jumper must be set according to Table 8.
MAX78615+PPM Evaluation Kit User Manual UART/RS-485/422 Interface Configuration In order to operate the UART through the RS-485/422 transceiver, the jumpers must be set accordingly to Table 9. Table 10 contains the pin assignment of connector J22. Table 9. Jumpers Settings for UART/RS-485/422...

MAX78615+PPM Evaluation Kit User Manual 2.4 Connector J1 Connector J1 allows probing and connection to most of the digital and analog pins of the MAX78615 device. Table 12 includes J1 connector pin assignment. Table 12: J1 Connector Pin Assignment NAME DESCRIPTION +3.3V...
The FTDI Windows driver is a certified driver for Windows XP and Windows 7. Upon attaching the MAX78615+PPM evaluation board to the PC, the Found New Hardware Wizard automatically launches and installs the appropriate driver files. If your PC does not find the FTDI driver files on its local hard disk drive, locate and reference the FTDI USB driver and utilities subdirectory on the CD.
MAX78615+PPM Evaluation Kit User Manual 2.5.2 FTDI COM Port Troubleshooting If the FTDI device driver did not install properly, there would be no assigned COM port number for the FTDI controller. To repeat the USB driver installation, see Section 2.1.
3 Graphical User Interface (GUI) A graphical user interface (GUI) is included on the MAX78615+PPM evaluation kit CD to facilitate quick evaluation of the MAX78615+PPM energy measurement device. The GUI requires Microsoft.NET Framework 4 on the PC, for which the GUI is to execute on.
MAX78615+PPM Evaluation Kit User Manual 3.1.2 Direct Tab The Direct tab allows access to the all the registers and can both read and write to the registers. The data can be displayed with the scale factor and units applied for convenience. In the example below the voltage register is being read, so the volts option is used to display the data.
MAX78615+PPM Evaluation Kit User Manual 3.1.4 Power Tab The Power tab displays the current power being consumed by the loads. P (active power), Q (reactive power), and S (apparent power) are displayed along with the voltage, current, crest factor, and power factor are also displayed.
MAX78615+PPM Evaluation Kit User Manual 3.1.6 Fundamental Tab The Fundamental tab is used to display the fundamental and harmonic measurements for voltage, current and power. The harmonics displayed can be selected with the get/set harmonic buttons. Rev. 1.0...
