Features for the P0603 USB Master Module

The P0603 USB Master Module includes two powerful PIC18F2580 microcontrollers. The MonCon module provides a USB interface to a host PC enabling the PC to communicate with all modules in a MonCon system. It is suitable for measurement, analysis or processing. The USB Master Module includes a DC-DC converter.

 

 

 

P0603 USB Master Module

 

 

The Compact Control Design Limited P0603 USB Master Module includes two powerful PIC18F2580 microcontrollers (nodes), each with 10MIPS performance.

 

The primary node is linked to a USB interface enabling a host, such as a PC, to be connected to a MonCon system.

 

This node is pre-programmed with communications and control software. This allows the host to communicate with any node in the system, to download programs to any node and to control the system. The primary node can also be programmed with a user supplied application for any purpose. 

 

Possible applications are a message filter to limit the network messages being sent back to the host, or a supervisor or sequencer to implement basic actions, such as sample handling or basic process control, removing this task from the host.

A second node is included on the board. This node includes the basic kernel providing communications, control and self programming capability. There is no application pre-programmed onto this node. 

The node is intended to run user supplied supervisor or sequencer applications. In many cases the complete set of complex sequential activities can be programmed into this node, freeing the host from this task. For example, where items or samples need to be selected or loaded for measurement, analysis or processing, the host could simply issue a 'Load A1' command to this node leaving it to supervise the entire operation of loading the item.

Some MonCon microcontroller modules require the additional +/-15 Volt power supplies for their analog input output circuitry. The P0603 USB Master Module includes a DC-DC converter to provide these power supplies thus removing the need to provide them externally.

There is a separate power supply requirement for driving motors, valves and other high power devices. The USB master node includes a control output for turning on/off this 'dirty' power supply. Additionally it includes inputs for monitoring the power supply and reporting its status back to the host.

On the P0603 USB Master Module the USB interface is a full USB 2.0 implementation. It includes the ability to program a unique device descriptor (pre-programmed as 'MonCon') and a serial number.
