9 M-Duino Arduino I/Os 5V pins

The M-Duino has some of the Mega board pins available. These pins can be programmed
according to Arduino features such as I/Os operating at 5V or any additional features present
in the pins (for example I2C communication in pins SCL and SDA). As this pins are directly
connected to the Arduino Mega board they are not as well protect as the normal inputs. These
pins are mainly meant to be used as prototyping.

The Arduino board available pins are summarized in the table below. In order to access some
of these pins the configuration switch must be set to OFF position (see section 8) and some
extra considerations must be taken in consideration when using these pins.

MISO 50
MOSI 51
SCK 52
Pin 3 3 Communication switch: OFF
Pin 2 2 Communication switch: OFF
*IMPORTANT: Do not connect the terminals in the chart above to voltages higher than 5V.
These terminals provide direct access to the Mega board.

A part from the switch configuration there are some special conditions depending on these 5V.
Now it is going to be shown the considerations to operate with these pins.

9.1 I2C pins – SDA/SCL

The I2C protocol is meant to work in a pull-up configuration. A pull-up configuration means
that when the pin is at rest (nothing connected to it) it always reads a HIGH value. In this case
it reads 5V when nothing is connected. The pull-up configuration is stablished by default in
these pins.

If it is meant to work them as a GPIO at 5V, it has to be considered that they are pull-up
inputs.

*IMPORTANT: I2.5 & I2.6 are not pull-up inputs although they are referred to the I2C pins
(switch configuration). There is a “reverse pull-up circuit “that is stablished in order to have the
same behaviour as the other inputs.

9.2 Serial 0 – RX0/TX0

The Serial0 protocol can work also as a 5V pin. These pins should be used ultimately, only in
case that all the 5V pins are already performing a function. This is because they are shared
with the USB interface. If using these pins, the USB communication cannot be working at the
same time. When the PLC is not installed, the USB communication is normally required for
debugging, uploading and intercommunicating with the Ethernet controller. If using both
interfaces at the same time the Arduino board will get blocked.

32
Ref. IS.MDUINO.58+ Rev. 0: 30-08-2019

These pins are not stablished with a pull-up or a pull-down configuration. The state of these
pins is unknown. If these pins must be used, they require a pull-up or a pull-down
configuration. The Arduino board allows the pins to be set in a pull-up configuration. If not it
must be stablished an external pull-up or pull-down circuit in order to correctly work with
these pins.

9.3 Serial 1 – RX1/TX1

These pins are only referred to the inputs I1.5/I1.6. If the switch configuration is in OFF
position the pins RX1/TX1 will be available. If not using the Serial 1 interface these pins can
work as digital, either input or output.

These pins are not stablished with a pull-up or a pull-down configuration. The state of these
pins is unknown. If these pins must be used, they require a pull-up or a pull-down
configuration. The Arduino board allows the pins to be set in a pull-up configuration. If not it
must be stablished an external pull-up or pull-down circuit in order to correctly work with
these pins.

9.4 SPI – MISO/MOSI/SCK

These pins can only work as a 5V pins if the Ethernet protocol is not going to be used. As the
Ethernet protocol uses the SPI to communicate with the Arduino board, both behaviours
cannot happen at the same time as the Ethernet would not work.

These pins are not stablished with a pull-up or a pull-down configuration. The state of these
pins is unknown. If these pins must be used, they require a pull-up or a pull-down
configuration. The Arduino board allows the pins to be set in a pull-up configuration. If not it
must be stablished an external pull-up or pull-down circuit in order to correctly work with
these pins.

9.5 Pin 2/Pin 3

These pins are only referred to the inputs I0.5/I0.6. If the switch configuration is in OFF
position the pins Pin 2/Pin 3 will be available.

These pins are not stablished with a pull-up or a pull-down configuration. The state of these
pins is unknown. If these pins must be used, they require a pull-up or a pull-down
configuration. The Arduino board allows the pins to be set in a pull-up configuration. If not it
must be stablished an external pull-up or pull-down circuit in order to correctly work with
these pins.

10 A Zone Features: Communications & RTC & uSD

10.1 RS-232
The Arduino Mega function code to access the RS-232 port in the M-Duino is Serial2 (pins 16
and 17 of the Arduino Mega).

For the RS-232 communication protocol there isn’t any switch that affects it. So it does not
matter the configuration of the switches to implement a RS-232 communication.

Using the boards of Industrial Shields, there is a library that simplifies the RS-232
implementation.

10.2 RS-485
For RS485 communication protocol the defined Arduino Mega pins are showed in the chart
below.

Function Arduino Pin

DI 14
RO 15
RE 11
DE 46

For the RS-485 communication protocol there is only one switch that affects in this
communication. The RS-485 protocol will be always enabled, the only switch that affects is the
one called “FD rs-485 HD” (See Section 8). This switch makes the choosing between RS-485
Half Duplex or RS-485 Full Duplex (RS-422).

Using the boards of Industrial Shields, there is a library that simplifies the RS-485
implementation.

10.3 I2C
I2C communication DOES NOT REQUIRE a pull-up resistor for the M-Duino 58 I/Os PLUS. The
pull-up resistor is already implemented in the PCB.

I2C communication is configured by switches, so the switches must be configured in order to

enable the I2C communication.

Ref. IS.MDUINO.58+ Rev. 0: 30-08-2019

To enable I2C the switches SCL/I2.6 & SDA/I2.5 must be set to OFF mode. In this mode the
inputs are totally disabled and the I2C is now enabled.

Industrial Shields does not provide any library to implement the I2C as it can be used the
standard library of Arduino called Wire.

10.4 SPI
The M-Duino pins used for the SPI bus are summarized in the table below. For SPI bus MISO,
MOSI and CLOCK pins are common to all the connected devices to the M-Duino, conversely,
each of the connected devices will have a single and dedicated SS pin.

Check the switch configuration at section 8 to enable SS pins.

10.5 TTL
M-Duino has two TTL ports, RX0/TX0, RX1/TX1. TTL0 is accessed with the function Serial (pins 0
and 1 of the Arduino Mega). TTL1 is accessed with the function Serial1 (pins 18 and 19 of the
Arduino Mega).

In order to use the TTL pins the configuration of the switches have to be the following one:

Switch Analog Shield

ON OFF
C ZONE
RX1/I1.6 I1.6 RX1
TX1/I1.5 I1.5 TX1

If the switches RX1/I1.6(I1.1) & TX1/I1.5(I1.0) are in OFF mode, the RX1/TX1 will be enabled. In
order to use TTL3 these switches must be in OFF mode.

10.6 Ethernet
M-Duino Ethernet port controller is based on w5500 IC, which is the compatible IC compatible
with Arduino Ethernet2 Shield libraries. All Ethernet shield Arduino libraries are compatible
with the M-Duino. In the M-Duino, W5500 IC communicates to the Mega board via SPI bus (SS
Arduino Mega pin 10).

10.7 RTC
M-Duino RTC Module is based on the DS1307 Chip. This chip works with the I2C protocol
communication, so it is required to have enabled the I2C protocol.

4 switches have to be configured in order to enable the RTC features:

LEFT ZONE
SWITCH ON OFF RTC SCL & RTC SDA must be set to ON mode to enable
NC - -
the I2C wires to the RTC. If they are in OFF mode, the
NC - -
Arduino won’t communicate with the RTC.
RTC SCL RTC -
RTC SDA RTC -

Switch
ON OFF I2C (SCL, SDA pins) must be enabled in order to
SCL/I2.6 I2.6 SCL communicate with the RTC. See section 11 I2C to
SDA/I2.5 I2.5 SDA enable it.

Using the boards of Industrial Shields, there is a library that simplifies the RTC implementation
called RTC.

10.8 uSD
The micro SD uses the SPI communication to interact with the Arduino Mega. The SPI protocol
is always enabled, as there are no switches that configure it. However, there is a switch that
must be placed to ON mode in order to communicate with the uSD:

D53(SD): If this Switch is OFF, it enables the Chip Select of the microSD socket and disables
Q2.0. If this switch is ON, it enables the Q2.0 output. If the switch is in ON mode the microSD
can’t be used.

The uSD socket is found in the TOP part of the communication Shields, so in the frontal part of
the PLC, it is required to open the plastic found in the frontal part and the socket is located
under the supply of the Arduino.

called SD. It is the same as the Arduino library, with the only modification of using the pin 53 to
select the Chip Select of the uSD chip.

Verify that the CPU is not actively running a process before inserting the memory card.

Inserting a memory card will cause the CPU to go to STOP mode, which could affect the
operation of an online process or machine. Unexpected operation of a process or machine
could result in death or injury to personnel and/or property damage. Before inserting a
memory card, always ensure that the CPU is offline and in a safe state.

Vérifiez que le processeur n'exécute pas activement un processus avant d'insérer la

carte mémoire.

Si vous insérez une carte mémoire, la CPU passe en mode STOP, ce qui peut affecter le
fonctionnement d'un processus ou d'une machine en ligne. Le fonctionnement inattendu d'un
processus ou d'une machine peut entraîner la mort ou des blessures corporelles et / ou des
dégâts matériels. Avant d'insérer une carte mémoire, assurez-vous toujours que la CPU est
hors ligne et en sécurité.

16 Installation and Maintenance

Notes for installation:

- The installation position should be free from the following: dust or oil smoke,
conductive dust, corrosive or flammable gas, high temperature, condensation, and
rain.
- Besides, vibration and impact also affect the PLC normal operation and shorten its
lifespan; electric shock, fire or misact also damages the product. During drilling or
wiring, prevent the metal particles or wire segments from falling into the PLC casing,
which may cause fire, fault or misact.
- After the PLC installation, clean the ventilation duct to prevent blocking, which may
cause bad ventilation, or even fire, faults or misact.
- Do not online connect, plug or unplug cables, which is apt to cause electric shock or
damage the circuit. Installation and wire connection must be firm and reliable. Poor
connection could cause misact.
- Use shielded twisted pair for the I/O of high frequency signal and analog signal to
improve system IMS.

The installation environment should be free from dust, oil smoke, conductive particle,
corrosive or flammable gases, high temperature, condensation, and rain.

Besides, vibration and impact also affect the PLC normal operation and shorten its lifespan.
It is recommended to install the PLC, together with the matching switches and contactors,
in a dedicated electric cabinet and keep the cabinet ventilated. If the location has high
ambient temperature or heat generating equipment nearby, install forced convection
devices on top or sides of the cabinet to avoid over-temperature. During drilling or wiring,
prevent the metal particles or wire segments from falling into the PLC casing, which may
cause fire, fault or misact. After the PLC installation, clean the ventilation duct to prevent
blocking, which may cause bad ventilation, or even fire, faults or misact.

The only way to disconnect the equipment from the electrical network is by removing the
connectors that feed the equipment. Once installed in the electrical cabinet it is very
important to ensure the power connectors for proper operation.

Separate the M-Duino 58 I/Os PLUS from heat, high voltaje and eletrical noise:

Always separate the devices that generate high voltage and high electrical noise from the
M-Duino 58 I/Os PLUS. When configuring the layout of the M-Duino 58 I/Os PLUS inside
your panel, consider the heat-generating devices and locate the electronic-type devices in
the cooler areas of your cabinet. Reducing the exposure to a high-temperature
environment will extend the operating life of any electronic device. Consider also the
routing of the wiring for the devices in the electric cabinet. Avoid placing low-voltage
signal wires and communications cables in the same tray with AC power wiring and
highenergy, rapidly-switched DC wiring.

49
Ref. IS.MDUINO.58+ Rev. 0: 30-08-2019

Provide adequate clearance for cooling and wiring M-Duino 58 I/Os PLUS. Is designed for
natural convection cooling. For proper cooling, you must provide a clearance of at least 25
cm above and below the devices. Also, allow at least 25 cm of depth between the front of
the modules and the inside of the enclosure.

Notes for maintenance:

A well-planned and executed maintenance program is essential to the satisfactory operation of

solid-state electrical equipment. The kind and frequency of the maintenance operation will
vary with the kind and complexity of the equipment as well as with the nature of the operating
conditions. Maintenance recommendations of the manufacturer or appropriate product
standards should be followed.

The following factors should be considered when formulating a maintenance program:

- Maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the construction,

operation, and hazards involved with the control.
- Maintenance should be performed with the control out of operation and
disconnected from all sources of power.
- Care should be taken when servicing electrostatic sensitive components. The
manufacturer's recommendations for these components should be followed.
- Ventilation passages should be kept open. If the equipment depends upon auxiliary
cooling, e.g., air, water, or oil, periodic inspection (with filter replacement when
necessary) should be made of these systems.
- The means employed for grounding or insulating the equipment from ground should
be checked to assure its integrity.
- Accumulations of dust and dirt on all parts, including on semiconductor heat sinks,
should be removed according to the manufacturer's instructions, if provided;
otherwise, the manufacturer should be consulted. Care must be taken to avoid
damaging any delicate components and to avoid displacing dust, dirt, or debris in a
way that permits it to enter or settle into parts of the control equipment.
- Enclosures should be inspected for evidence of deterioration. Accumulated dust and
dirt should be removed from the top of the enclosures before opening doors or
removing covers.
- Certain hazardous materials removed as part of maintenance or repair procedure (e.g.,
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) found in some liquidfilled capacitors) must be
disposed of as described in Federal regulations.

Safety rules for maintenance personnel

Consider the following steps to follow. A false manoeuvre could be the cause of an
accident or material damage.
Do not disassemble or modify the modules. This could lead to breakdowns or
malfunctions and could lead to injuries or fire.

- All types of radio communication devices, including mobile phones and personal
handy-phone systems (PHS), must be kept more than 25cm away from the PLC in all
directions. Failure to observe this precaution exposes malfunctions caused by excess of
temperature.
- Disconnect the external power supply of the system (on all phases) before connecting
or disconnecting a module. Failure to observe this precaution may cause faults or
malfunctions of the module.

- Tighten the screws of the terminal ports and the screws of the connectors within the
prescribed tightening torque. Insufficient tightening can lead to loose parts or wires
and cause malfunctions. Excessive tightening can damage the screws and / or the
module, with the risk of falling, short circuits and malfunctions.
- Before handling a module, dispose of the electrostatic charge accumulated by the
human body by touching a suitable conductive object. Failure to observe this
precaution may cause faults or malfunctions of the module.

Repair note:

If the equipment is suitable to be repaired, it must be verified that the equipment

remains in a safe state after repair.
