Overview
La carte Serializer Click Board™ est une carte complémentaire compacte qui contient un traducteur/sérialiseur d'entrée numérique. Cette carte comprend le MAX31910, un sérialiseur d'entrée numérique à huit canaux pour les modules d'entrée numérique à haute densité de canaux dans l'automatisation industrielle et des processus de Maxim. Le MAX31910 traduit, conditionne et sérialise la sortie numérique 24 V des capteurs et des commutateurs en signaux compatibles CMOS 5 V requis par le MCU. Il fournit le circuit d'interface frontal d'un module d'entrée numérique de contrôleur logique programmable (PLC). Il communique avec le MCU via l'interface SPI et est livré en configuration avec un isolateur numérique installé.
Le Serializer Click Board™ est adapté à diverses applications telles que l'automatisation industrielle, des processus et des bâtiments, les modules d'entrée numériques pour PLC, etc.
How Does The Serializer Click Board™ Work?
The Serializer Click Board™ uses the MAX31910, an eight-channel digital input translator/serializer for high-channel density digital input modules in industrial and process automation from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. It features integrated current limiting, low-pass filtering, and channel serialization. Input current limiting allows a significant reduction in power consumed from the field voltage supply (external typical 24V) compared to traditional discrete resistor-divider implementations. The device uses patent-pending circuit techniques to further reduce power beyond possible input current limiting alone.
The MAX31910 translates, conditions, and serializes the 24V digital output of sensors and switches to 5V CMOS-compatible signals required by the MCU. It provides the front-end interface circuit of a programmable logic controller (PLC) digital input module. Selectable on-chip low-pass filters allow flexible debouncing and filtering sensor outputs based on the application. The serializer is stackable so that any number of input channels (IN1-IN8) can be serialized and output through only one SPI-compatible port.
The serializer inputs (IN1-IN8) sense the state (ON vs. OFF) of field sensors by monitoring both voltage and a current flowing through the sensor output. The current sinking through these input pins rises linearly with input voltage until the limit set by the current clamp is reached (set by an onboard potentiometer). Any voltage increase beyond this point does not further increase the input current.
The Serializer Click Board™ communicates with MCU through a standard SPI interface in a configuration with installed digital isolators (ISO7741 and LTV-817S). Also, it uses an interrupt pin, the FLT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, used as a 'fault' indicator which immediately notifies the host when a fault such as an overtemperature or undervoltage condition occurs. It also has a two-channel switch labelled DB, which determines the current switching frequency. The current switching clock period is automatically selected according to a switch position.
The Serializer Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Software Support
We provide a library for the Serializer Click Board™ as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
The package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio The package Manager (recommended), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe Github account.
Library Description
This library contains API for the Serializer Click Board™ driver.
Key functions
-
serializer_get_flt_pinThis function returns the fault pin logic state. -
serializer_read_inputThis function reads the input data by using SPI serial interface, and then checks the data integrity by verifying the CRC byte.
Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of the Serializer Click Board™ by reading the state of all inputs and displaying the results on the USB UART.
void application_task ( void )
{
uint8_t input_data = 0;
err_t status = serializer_read_input ( &serializer, &input_data );
if ( SERIALIZER_ERROR != status )
{
for ( uint8_t cnt = 0; cnt < 8; cnt++ )
{
log_printf( &logger, " IN%u: %srn", ( uint16_t ) cnt + 1,
( char * ) ( ( input_data & ( 1 << cnt ) ) ? "High" : "Low" ) );
}
if ( status & SERIALIZER_STATUS_UNDERVOLTAGE )
{
log_info( &logger, "Undervoltage fault" );
}
if ( status & SERIALIZER_STATUS_OVERTEMPERATURE )
{
log_info( &logger, "Overtemperature fault" );
}
log_printf( &logger, "rn" );
Delay_ms( 1000 );

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
MIKROSDK
The Serializer Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
