1.9.4.1 PIC32CXMTSH-DB

The following picture shows the PIC32CXMTSH-DB board connected with PL460-EK and REB215-XPRO expansion boards.

Figure 1-121. PIC32CXMTSH-DB + PL460-EK + REB215-XPRO

PL460-EK is connected to XPLAINED PRO connector (J20) of PIC32CXMTSH-DB. A 15V DC jack must be plugged into PL460-EK in order to supply the power for PLC transmission. For additional information about PL460-EK, refer to the user guide.

REB215-XPRO is connected to mikroBUS 1 connector (J8) of PIC32CXMTG-EK using a mikroBUS to REB215 adapter (schematic shown below). For additional information about REB215-XPRO, refer to the user guide.

Figure 1-122. MikroBUS to REB215 Adapter Schematic

Since the enclosure of PIC32CXMTSH-DB cannot be closed when REB215-XPRO is connected, the user must be very careful if the PLC wire or voltage/current sensors are connected to the mains due to not all the board is isolated from mains.

It is possible to connect only one expansion board and the application runs correctly, with only PLC or RF interface available.

The isolated USB connector (J12) of PIC32CXMTSH-DB can be used to:
  • Manage Metering Demo console. UART baud-rate is configured at 115200 bps.
The SWD/JTAG connector (J17) of PIC32CXMTG-EK can be used to:
  • Flash/debug the PIC32CXMTSH device with an external debugger

A 12V DC jack must be plugged into PIC32CXMTSH-DB in order to supply the power of the board.

For additional information about PIC32CXMTSH-DB, refer to the user guide. There is additional information in the Metering Demo documentation (smartenergy_metrology repository).
