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.
We equipped it with our revolutionary new programmer & debugger - CODEGRIP and mikroBUS™ support. We now present you with the
new version 7a that brings so much more, and we hope that you will be thrilled with your new board, just as we are.
PICPLC16 v7a offers amazing
connectivity options. Ethernet, LIN,
and pin headers for each port, you can
connect accessory boards, sensors and
your custom electronics with ease.
Powerful on-board CODEGRIP
USB-C programmer and In-Circuit
debugger will simplify programming
and debugging, whether you’re an
experienced professional or a begginer.
A CONNECTOR FOR EACH PORT EVERYTHING IS ALREADY HERE
Amazing connectivity CODEGRIP on board
Develop complex industrial, home
or office control systems with 16
optocouplers and 16 relays that
allow you to connect the MCU to high
-powered external industrial (but also
home or office) devices.

Just plug in your Click board, and
it’s ready to work. We picked up a
set of the most useful pins you need
for development and made a pinout
standard you will enjoy using.

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
range between 7V and 23V. Have in mind that the board cannot
operate without being connected to the power supply source
although it is connected to a PC via the USB cable.
On-board is a very accurate, programmable voltage reference
(VREF) in the range from 0V to 3.3V. VREF is very useful for
many different applications including A/D and D/A converters,
comparators, etc. The programmable voltage output can be
controlled over the CODEGRIP Suite.

The voltage supervisor device, MCP1320T from Microchip, keep a
microcontroller in reset until the system voltage has reached and
stabilized at the proper level of stabilized for reliable system operation.
MCP1320T also provides an external Watchdog Timer functionality,
to monitor the operation of the system. WDT period is 1.6s, an edge
transition on the WDI

HOW TO POWER THE BOARD?
STEP 1 STEP 2
POWER SUPPLY:
Via screw terminal (7V to 23V AC or
9V to 32V DC)
POWER CAPACITY:
Up to 500mA with USB, and
up to 600mA with external
power supply
Figure 3: Powered by wall-adapter
Figure 2: Powered by laboratory PSU
The PICPLC16 v7a development board is powered with
external power supply source. Make sure the power supply
source is connected. Otherwise, the on-board programmer
cannot be enabled.
To power the board using screw
terminals, screw-on the cables
in the screw terminals as shown
on image Figure 2, and turn the
power switch ON.
When the development system
is connected to the power
supply source, it is necessary
to plug in a USB cable into
the on-board USB connector.
Connection between the USB
cable and the development
system makes the on-board
programmer to be connected
to a PC.
