STM32 PLC

This project is a PCB bord that has the following measurement and control input/output:

• 12 x ADC at 16-bit resolution for 0-20mA input with programmable gain
• 5 x Differential ADC at 16-bit for 0-20mA input with programmable gain
• 3 x DAC at 12-bit with 0-20mA output
• 8 x PWM for 0-2.2A with N-channel MOSFET
• 10 x Digital Input
• 1 x CAN-bus channel
• 4 x Input Capture for 0 kHz to 10kHz
• 3 x Encoder for -32768 to 32767 pulses
• 1 x USB port for connecting with OpenSourceLogger
• 1 x SPI with 3 chip select for ILI9341 LCD with touch
• 1 x ST-Link V2 connection
• 1 x RTC clock with two alarms A(date) and B(week day) and a battery holder so the RTC remembers the date and time

Protection

• All ADC, Digital Input, Differential ADC, Input Capture and Encoder are high voltage protected with PTC(fall current 30mA) fuse + 3.6v zener diode.
• All PWM and DAC are high voltage protected with N-channel MOSFET and PNP-transistor and OP-amp.
• The CAN-bus channel is high voltage peak protected for 3000V under a short time with a TVS-diode. The CAN-bus transmitter itself can hold against -14V to +14V, but the TVS-diode has a limit around 6V.

Documentation

The documentation for the pin map can be found in the Documentation folder. Also all the article numbers for each component can be found in at the DAC ADC PWM IO.sch file in the PCB folder. Just double click on a PCB symbol and see the Mouser Electronics article number of the electrical component.

Calibration

Yes, it's possible to set the calibration to each input in this project. You need to have the ILI9341 touch LCD with SPI bus. Open the STM32 PLC Pinouts.pdf and see the connection for the LCD. You can also set the PWM frequency and analog input gain for the ADC and Differential ADC at 16-bit.

SAE J1939

The STM32 PLC has internal SAE J1939 protocol. Made from Open-SAE-J1939.

OpenSourceLogger

This is a QT C++ software that you can connect to your STM32 PLC board via the USB and then you can send signals from OpenSourceLogger and recieve signals. OpenSourceLogger is a very easy to use logging and controlling software and it stores data at a SQL server.

How to build this STM32 PLC

1. Download this repository
2. Download & Install KiCad
3. Open the PCB folder and open the .pro file with KiCAD and greate a gerber file of your own choice
4. Go to your PCB manufacturer and give them the gerber file and let them produce the board for you
5. Order the eletrical components from Mouser Electronics
6. Once you have the eletrical components and your PCB board, it's time to solder them.
7. Once the PCB board is finished, then install STM32CubeIDE
8. Open the Code project and import the .ioc project file using STM32CubeIDE
9. Flash the board with the C code by using ST-Link V2 connection
10. Connect the ILI9431 touch LCD and then you are done!

Software used

• KiCAD: 5.1.10
• STM32CubeIDE 1.9.0

Status of the project

It's done. I don't plan to update this project. Everything is working and it will remain that way.
