Embedded Development – Porting EtherCAT on LAN9253

1. Overview of the Porting Process ‌Hardware Platform Setup‌ Selection of the main control chip: It is recommended to use the STM32F4 series (such as STM32F407) or Microchip SAMD5x series, which must support SPI/SQI or HBI interfaces to communicate with LAN9253. Hardware connection: LAN9253 connects to the main control via the SPI interface, requiring configuration … Read more

Overview of the Profibus-DP Communication Protocol

1. Overview PROFIBUS-DP, where DP stands for Decentralized Periphery, is a type of computer electronic component. It features high speed and low cost, used for communication between device-level control systems and decentralized I/O. It, along with PROFIBUS-PA (Process Automation) and PROFIBUS-FMS (Fieldbus Message Specification), constitutes the PROFIBUS standard. 2. Basic Information Specifications The PROFIBUS-DP protocol … Read more

Understanding RS232, RS485, RJ45, and Modbus Protocols: Clearing Up Confusion

Consider a DC power supply with an output socket interface that has three pins: positive, negative, and ground. Accordingly, the load’s plug should also have three pins corresponding to the power supply side to correctly obtain power supply. Note that there are three essential conditions that must be met: The first is that the shape, … Read more

Differences Between RS485 and Modbus Communication Protocols and Their Application Scenarios

– RS485: It is a physical layer electrical standard that specifies the electrical characteristics of data transmission, signal levels, transmission distances, and connection methods. It uses differential signaling for transmission, has strong anti-interference capabilities, and can achieve half-duplex communication between multiple devices. It is commonly used for long-distance data transmission in industrial environments. – Modbus: … Read more

Modbus TCP to Profinet (Master-Slave) Conversion

This article discusses the conversion from Modbus TCP to Profinet in a master-slave configuration. The process involves understanding the communication protocols and ensuring compatibility between devices. To implement this conversion, you will need to configure the Modbus TCP settings on the master device and set up the Profinet parameters on the slave device. This includes … Read more
