User Manual 1.0.0 © 2019 PEAK-System Technik GmbH
1 Introduction
The PCAN-MicroMod FD Evaluation Board is a development board for the PCAN-
MicroMod FD and allows the conception and development of own circuits with CAN
connection and I/O functionality. Via pick-offs, screw terminals, switches, and poten-
tiometers, the user can access the resources of the attached PCAN-MicroMod FD and
check configurations or test circuits.
The configuration is done with a supplied Windows software which transfers the
configuration data to the module via CAN. The optionally available Evaluation Kit also
includes the CAN interface and cable required for this purpose.
This document describes the hardware and function of the Evaluation Board. A
separate document is available for the plug-in board PCAN-MicroMod FD itself.

User Manual 1.0.0 © 2019 PEAK-System Technik GmbH
2 Setting Up the Evaluation Kit for
Operation
This chapter gives a quick overview of the needed steps for the straightforward
startup of the Evaluation Kit.
Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or
destroy components on the circuit board. Take precautions to
avoid ESD when handling the circuit board.
Do the following for the setup:
1. On the PC under Windows, install the device driver for the PCAN-USB FD from
the supplied data carrier.
2. Use the CAN cable to connect the PCAN-USB FD to the Evaluation Board
(connector J4 CAN).
3. Plug the PCAN-USB FD into a USB port of the PC.
4. In order to supply the Evaluation Board with power, use the USB cable to
connect the Evaluation Board to a USB port on the computer or to a power
supply unit.
5. Under Windows, install the program PCAN-MicroMod FDConfiguration from
the provided data carrier (Tools section).
6. Start PCAN-MicroMod FD Configuration, create a configuration, and eventually
transfer it to the PCAN-MicroMod FD (see program help).
You can now work with signals at the I/O ports as defined in the configuration. Please
observe the explanations in the following chapter. On the PC, you can use the CAN
monitor PCAN-View to watch and send CAN messages.

3 Components of the Evaluation
Board
This chapter describes the function units and connectors of the Evaluation Board. For
details you can also refer to the circuit diagram, Appendix B Circuit Diagram Evalu-
ation Board on page30.
3.1 Socket for PCAN-MicroMod FD (J1A/J1B)
For orientation when plugging the MicroMod FD onto the evaluation board, white
triangular markings are provided both on the MicroMod FD (upper left corner) and on
the Evaluation Board. These markings must align.

Figure 2: Positionining marking on the PCAN-MicroMod FD and on the Evaluation Board
Via the test points of the fields J2A and J2B, which are arranged laterally to the
socket strips for the MicroMod FD, each pin of the plugged-on MicroMod FD can be
accessed directly.

3.2 Power Supply (J6, J7)
The Evaluation Board requires a supply voltage of 5 V DC. It can be applied either via
the Micro USB connector or the barrel connector.

The Power LED indicates that the Evaluation Board is supplied.
3.3 CAN Connection (J4)
The 9-pin D-Sub male connector J4 is used for CAN connection, positioned on the
upper right of the Evaluation Board. The pin assignment of the CAN connector
11

3 Components of the Evaluation Board PCAN-MicroMod FD Evaluation

corresponds to the specification CiA®303-1.

Figure 8: Assignment of the D-Sub male connector for CAN
CAN Bus Termination
If the Evaluation Board is connected to one end of the High-speed CAN bus and the
CAN bus is not terminated at that end, a termination can be activated on the Evalu-
ation Board. For this purpose, switch S3 (next to the CAN connector) must be set to
the On position.
For better electromagnetic compatibility, a split termination is implemented.

3.4 Analog Inputs (J8) and Potentiometers
The Evaluation Board has 8 analog inputs (Ai0 to Ai7). The corresponding connector is
J8 (screw terminals on the upper right).
Figure 10: Screw terminals J8 for analog inputs
The analog reference voltage is 3.0V. The input impedance is 11kΩ.
The Evaluation Board has 4 potentiometers (P0 to P3) which can be used for simu-
lating input signals. Using the switches S200 to S203, the analog inputs Ai0 to Ai3 are
disconnected from the screw terminals and connected to the respective poten-
tiometer.

3.5 Digital Inputs (J9)
The Evaluation Board has 8 digital inputs with TTL levels (Di0 – Di7). The corres-
ponding connector is J9 (screw terminals, bottom right).
Figure 12: Screw terminals for digital inputs with associated DIP switches and LEDs

3 Components of the Evaluation Board PCAN-MicroMod FD Evaluation
User Manual 1.0.0 © 2019 PEAK-System Technik GmbH
The inputs each have a pull-down resistor and are High-active. The switching
thresholds are below 2.2V to the Low state and above 3.3V to the High state. Each
input status is indicated by an LED.
For test purposes, the individual input signals can be switched via the DIP switches
S300. A DIP switch activates a pull-up resistor with 2.7kΩ to the 5-Volts supply. It can
be permanently activated if a low-active signal is fed to the input via the screw
terminal (e.g. push button connected to ground).
Signals that directly lead to the MicroMod FD can be accessed on the following points
of the field J2B:
Pin on J2B Processed input signal (inverted)
31 Di0
33 Di1
35 Di2
37 Di3
39 Di4
41 Di5
43 Di6
45 Di7
3.6 Digital and Frequency Outputs (J3)
The Evaluation Board has 8 digital outputs (Do0 to Do7) and two frequency outputs
(Fo0 and Fo1). Each output status is indicated by an LED. An illuminated LED corres-
ponds to the active state.

3.7 Module Number (S2)
The module number is used for the identification of a single MicroMod FD on the CAN
bus when configurations are sent and received. The rotary switch can be used to set
a module number from 0 to 15 (hexadecimal 0 to F).
Figure 14: Rotary switch for module number, position 0 on the left

3 Components of the Evaluation Board PCAN-MicroMod FD Evaluation
User Manual 1.0.0 © 2019 PEAK-System Technik GmbH
Each MicroMod FD connected to the CAN bus must have a unique module number for
the configuration process, else unpredictable configuration results may occur.
The set module number has no influence on the CAN communication during normal
operation. If there are several MicroMod FD on the CAN bus, various configurations
must be used to ensure that there is no overlap in the transmit CAN IDs.
3.8 RS-232 Connector (J5)
The RS-232 connector can alternatively be used for transferring firmware to the
PCAN-MicroMod FD. You need a suitable flashing tool, e.g. Flash Magic (www.-
flashmagic-tool.com), and a firmware file in hex format.

3.9 USB Connector (J7)
The Micro USB connector is located on the left edge of the Evaluation Board, on the
bottom side of the board. Primarily, it is used for voltage supply of the Evaluation
Board with 5V DC.
Figure 17: Micro USB socket on the bottom side of the Evaluation Board
In addition, the USB connector can be used as one possibility to transfer firmware to
the PCAN-MicroMod FD.
