INTRODUCTION The PICPLC16 v7a development system provides a development environment for experimenting with industrial devices. With 16 opto- inputs and 16 relays (for currents up to 16A), you can develop PIC-based industrial, home or office automation devices the easy way.
PIC 18F9 7 J6 0 is th e on -b o a rd mi c ro c ont ro ller ! PIC18F97J60 is the on-board chip of PICPLC16 v7a. It has operating frequency up to 42 MHz, 128K bytes of flash memory, and 4K RAM memory.
POWER SUPPLY The PICPLC16 v7a development system is connected to the power supply source via the TB1 connector. The power supply voltage can be either DC or AC. A DC power supply voltage can be in the range of 9V to 32V, whereas the AC power supply voltage can Figure 1: Power range between 7V and 23V.
HOW TO POWER THE BOARD? The PICPLC16 v7a development board is powered with POWER SUPPLY: POWER CAPACITY: Via screw terminal (7V to 23V AC or Up to 500mA with USB, and external power supply source. Make sure the power supply...
USB Type A/B connectors. PICPLC16 v7a development board is supported by a powerful CODEGRIP Suite, offering complete control over the development board. It is used to intelligently manage programming and debugging tasks, and to configure various other options and settings, providing visual feedback through its clean and comprehensive Graphical User Interface (GUI).
PROGRAMMING WITH ICD2/ICD3/ICD4 PICPLC 16 v7a is equipped with RJ-12 connector compatible with Microchip ICD2, ICD3, and ICD4 external programmers. You can either ® use the on-board CODEGRIP programmer or external programming tools as long as you use only one of them in the same time. Insert your ICD programmer cable into connector CN9, as shown in image.
This makes the Ethernet protocol very popular for communication over longer distances or in noisy environments. The PICPLC16 v7a features standard RJ-45 Ethernet connector to establish a connection with a personal computer, network router, or other Ethernet network device. PIC18F97J60 MCU feature an embedded Ethernet controller module.
It effectively supports remote application within a car's network. The LIN Bus is particularly intended for mechatronic nodes in distributed automotive applications, but is equally suited to industrial applications. The PICPLC16 v7a utilizes the MCP2003B, it provides a physical interface to automotive and industrial LIN systems, in accordance to the LIN Bus Specifications Revision 2.2, SAE J2602 and ISO 17987.
™ is the add-on board standard that offers maximum expandability with the smallest number of pins.

Real-Time Clock (RTC) A real-time clock is widely used in alarm devices, industrial controllers, consumer devices etc. An external real-time clock peripheral module (RTC) in combination with the button cell battery allow continuous tracking of time, even if the main power supply is OFF.
RELAYS AND OPTOCOUPLERS Industrial devices usually utilize more power than the In addition to relays, the development system also features microcontroller can provide via its I/O ports. To enable optocouplers, the function of which is to galvanically isolate the microcontroller to be connected to such devices, the signals brought to the microcontroller inputs from industrial development system is provided with 16 relays by means of devices.
ADDITIONAL GNDs PICPLC16 v7a contains two GND pins located in the center of the board, which allow you to easily connect oscilloscope GND reference when you monitor signals on microcontroller pins, or signals of on-board modules. GND pin located near the MCU and mikroBUS™...
