GPIO / AIO User Guide

Reference Design User Guide

1. Introduction

This document introduces how to setup entire environment for GPIO / AIO application on AX58400 evaluation

platform (TSB + EXB-ADIO boards). The demo application of EtherCAT master side is developed using PLC

(Programmable Logic Controller) language running on BECKHOFF TwinCAT engineering (XAE). The IDE

relies on Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 / 2013. We can execute the application through the IDE or pure

BECKHOFF runtime package (XAR). The firmware part of EtherCAT slave side is developed using C

language through ARM KEIL MDK (Microcontroller Development Kit).

The firmware mainly handles the tasks below:

⚫BECKHOFF SSC (Slave Stack Code)

⚫Hardware access of SSC through SPI interface at MCU side

⚫Simple object form for CIA-401 digital/analog IO

⚫Peripherals (GPIO / ADC / DAC) accessed by EtherCAT PD (Process Data)

The PLC at EtherCAT master side mainly handles the tasks below:

⚫PD mapping / handling by PLC for GPIO / AIO

⚫A demo GUI

2. Requirements

Before starting to setup the environment, the user should prepare some software and hardware. Of course,

they are all running based on general desktop PC with windows 7/10 operation systems. The software and

hardware requirements are listed as following:

[Software at EtherCAT master side]

⚫Windows 7 / 10 operation system

⚫Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 / 2013

⚫Beckhoff TwinCAT XAE v3.1.4022.28 or later

Figure 2 - 1

Note: You can download the BECKHOFF TwinCAT here or contact ASIX Electronics Corporation.

3-2 AX58400-EXB-ADIO

AX58400-EXB-ADIO is an expansion board for AX58400 GPIO / AIO application and has the components list

below:

⚫LEDs for Digital Output –Digital output (8-bit) to the LEDs

⚫DIP Switch for Digital Input –Dip switch to the digital input (8-bit)

⚫Analog Input Pin –You can measure the input voltage of ADC by this PIN

⚫Analog Output Pin –You can measure the output voltage of DAC by this PIN

⚫Variable Resistor –You can adjust input voltage of ADC through this component

⚫ESC Port2 –Port2 of the ESC

⚫Rotary Dip Switch –A rotary dip switch that can assign a 16-bit digits

⚫RS232 Port –The I/O of this RS232 port comes from UART of AX58400-TSB
