SCADABOARD MacroController

Overview

SCADABOARD MacroController is the universal tool for solving tasks of data collection, transmission and storage, as well as managing various processes in real time. The device is able to turn a personal computer into a modern instrument for laboratory research.

MacroController allows you to perform Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) in stand-alone mode or in conjunction with a host computer. The MacroController can operates as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Data Acquisition (DAQ) and communicate with the host computer as a Supervisory.

The MacroController is programmed using the MATLAB toolbox Waijung Blockset by Aimagin.

SCADABOARD – is the motherboard of the MacroController.

It combines the STM32F4 DISCOVERY processor module and peripheral modules:

• AD7606 data acquisition ARMFLY – analog-to-digital converter (ADC) module;

• ADS7818, MCP6S28 – ADC integrated circuits (IC’s);

• ZS-042 DS3231 RTC Arduino module – Real Time Clock (RTC) module;

• DP83848 Ethernet board WaveShare – Ethernet module;

• SD in 1 Storage Board WaveShare – SD Card module;

• DF ROBOT Arduino LCD 1602 KeyPad Shield HD44780 – LCD1602 module;

• FT-232 USB UART Board WaveShare – UART-USB module;

• RS-485 Board (5V) WaveShare – UART-RS-485 module;

• 6N137 – discrete input/output (DI/DO) optic isolated IC’s;

• DAC8501 ARMFLY – digital-to-analog converter (DAC) module.

All of the above modules and chips are commercially available and available in online stores (for example, Aliexpress).

The website www.scadaboard.pro shows:

• technical description and user manuals (UM) of SCADABOARD and peripheral modules;

• examples of programs in the form of MATLAB Simulink models (MATLAB projects)

• video lessons on modules mounting, programming and working with the MacroController.

Examples

At the moment, the following examples are available on the www.scadaboard.pro website for downloading:
