1.2.3.1 PIC32CXMTG-EK

The following picture shows the PIC32CXMTG-EK board connected with PL460-EK and REB215-XPRO expansion boards:

Figure 1-15. PIC32CXMTG-EK + PL460-EK + REB215-XPRO

PL460-EK is connected to XPRO Interface connector (J10) of PIC32CXMTG-EK. A 15V DC jack must be plugged into PL460-EK in order to supply the power for PLC transmission. For more information about PL460-EK refer to its user guide.

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

Figure 1-16. MikroBUS to REB215 Adapter Schematic

REB215-XPRO is only used in the PLC-RF Hybrid projects (see Table 1-2). In the PLC-RF Hybrid projects, it is possible to connect only one expansion board and the application runs correctly, with only PLC or RF PHY Tester Tool available.

The USB connector (J4) of PIC32CXMTG-EK can be used to:
  • Manage PLC PHY Tester Tool. UART baud-rate is configured at 115200 bps (it can’t be higher due to hardware limitations on this board).
  • Manage RF PHY Tester Tool . UART baud-rate is configured at 115200 bps.
  • Flash/debug the PIC32CXMTG device with the on-board Jlink debugger.
