Evaluation Board Overview

The main connectivity to the evaluation board is provided through the Arduino V3 headers. This allows the board to be compatible with a wide variety of microcontroller development boards. Please refer to Appendix C, Table 6 in the User’s Manual for a list of tested platforms.

The KNX-Bus

The KNX-bus is a twisted pair cable that serves as the main communication medium. It provides connectivity to devices in a home or building automation system.

Voltage Pins

• VBUS: Bus voltage
• Veq: Equilibrium voltage
• Vact: Active voltage
• Vend: End-of-line voltage
• VDC: DC voltage

Fan-in

Every device connected to the KNX-bus will draw current. The fan-in pin on the evaluation board sets the maximum current drawn from the bus. The transceiver actively keeps the current below the set limit.

Both the NCN5121 and NCN5130 transceivers have two pre-defined fan-in modes. These modes can be selected by either connecting the fan-in pin to GND or leaving it floating. When left floating, the maximum bus current is limited to 10 mA. When connected to GND, the limit is set to 20 mA.

EVALUATION BOARD OVERVIEW

The main connectivity to the evaluation board is provided through the Arduino V3 headers which can be seen in Figure 1.

This has the advantage that the board is compatible with a wide variety of microcontroller development boards. Refer to Appendix C, Table 6 for a list of tested platforms.

The KNX-Bus
The KNX-bus consists of a twisted pair cable providing both data and power. The voltage on the bus varies between 21 V to 32 V (VDC in Figure 3). Communication on the bus is done at 9600 baud asynchronously. A logic one is represented by the DC-level on the bus staying constant. For a logic zero, the bus is pulled 3 V to 10 V below the DC-level first. This is called the active pulse which has a duration of typically 35 s. Following immediately after is the equalisation pulse. During this time, the voltage can swing up to 13 V above the DC-level and will decay exponentially in 69 µs.Figure 3 shows a typical waveform on the bus representing a logical zero.

Fan-in
Every device connected to the KNX-bus will draw current from the bus to supply the application. The KNX standard specifies the current should be limited to the real need. For every KNX-device the maximum current draw is specified in its datasheet according to the fan-in-model [1]. The fan-in-model is used to determine how many devices can be connected to one physical segment of the bus. All the ON Semiconductor KNX transceivers contain a built-in mechanism to keep the draw within the value specified in its datasheet. This makes sure that the device complies with the standard.
The fan-in pin sets the maximum current drawn from the bus. The transceiver will actively keep the current below the set limit.
Both transceivers (NCN5121 and NCN5130) have two pre-defined fan-in modes. These can be selected by either connecting the fan-in pin to GND or leaving it floating. Leaving it floating, the maximum bus current is limited to 10 mA. Tied to GND the limit is set to 20 mA.
The NCN5130 also offers an external fan-in mode. In this mode the current limit can be set linearly from 5 mA to 40 mA. This is achieved by connecting a resistor with a value of 10 k to 93.1 k to the fan-in pin. The fan-in-model [1] specifies discrete current classes. When designing the application and defining the current consumption, the next higher value of one of the classes must be selected. According to section 3.3 of the KNX test specification [2] the maximum allowed bus current consumption for a fan-in-model of 10 mA is 12 mA. For other fan-in models it is allowed to scale this value accordingly. For example, a 20 mA fan-in-model allows to draw 24 mA from the bus.

Table 1. RECOMMENDED FAN-IN RESISTOR VALUES

R 3

| I bus,lim (Typical Values)| Current Class

(Note 1)

---|---|---
∞| 11.4 mA| 10 mA
0 Q| 22.3 mA| 20 mA
10 kQ| 43.9 mA| 40 mA
13.3 kQ| 33.0 mA| 30 mA
20 kQ| 22.1 mA| 20 mA
42.2 kQ| 10.7 mA| 10 mA
93.1 kQ| 5.1 mA| 5 mA

1. According to the fan-in-model [1].A list of recommended fan-in resistor values can be found in Table 1. For the listed resistor values, the corresponding current limits are specified in the datasheet.
If a resistor value is used, other than the ones specified in Table 1, the following formula can be used to calculate the corresponding bus current limit :

Buffer Capacitor
Besides the maximum allowed current drawn from the bus, the KNX standard also specifies at which rate the bus current is allowed to change. This requirement introduces the need for a large buffer capacitor. When the load current changes abruptly this capacitor must deliver the required energy. The KNX- transceiver will charge the capacitor again after the load step using a fixed current slope.
According to the KNX test specification [2] a device with a fan-in-model of 10 mA is allowed to change its current draw from the bus with a slope of 0.5 mA/ms. Section 3.3 specifies that this can be increased accordingly with the fan-in-model. The following formula can be used to calculate the allowed bus current slope:The datasheet (pages 18−19) of the NCN5121/NCN5130 describes how to dimension the buffer capacitor. The KNX Family Efficiency Calculator3 is a tool developed to help customers with this dimensioning. Common Mode Choke
If desired optionally a common mode choke such as the Murata 50475C can be mounted on the footprint of L1. This helps to block common mode disturbances, but in most applications, this is not required.
Before soldering the choke on the foreseen footprint of L1, the tracks shorting the component must be cut.

Power
The board is powered through the KNX-connector. These two pins (KNX+/KNX- in Figure 9) mate with a typical KNX terminal block such as the Wago 243−211, illustrated in Figure 5. No additional connection is required as the board will generate its own supply voltages. An input voltage up to 30 V is tolerated. Using a standard KNX power supply is the safest option as it generates the correct voltage and has a built-in protection.
It is possible to use a laboratory supply, but be sure to correctly set the output voltage to avoid damaging the board. By using a laboratory power supply, it is not possible to send messages on the KNX-bus. To enable communication on the bus, a special choke must be placed between power supply and development board. An example of such a choke is the Siemens GAMMA Choke N 120/02.
To power the microcontroller development board there are several options.

• Most modern microcontroller development boards can be supplied through the 3V3-pin, this eliminates the need for additional LDO’s, and lowers the overall power consumption.
  On the shield, there is always a 3.3 V supply present, which is also used to supply the KNX transceiver. This supply voltage can be routed to the 3V3-pin on the Arduino headers by shorting J11 (Figure 6).

• Arduino-compatible development boards typically accept a supply voltage of 7 V to 12 V, either through the on-board DC-jack (if present) or the VIN-pin on the headers.
  The shield can supply the microcontroller through the VIN-pin. When J10 is shorted (see Figure 6), the 9 V generated by DC-DC2 is routed to the VIN-pin. In this configuration, the whole system is supplied through the KNX-bus and no additional power supplies are required.

• The microcontroller development board may be supplied through an external supply. This occurs when debugging the board through USB with the KNX-connector disconnected. In this case remove both J10 and J11 (Figure 6).

Adjusting the DC-DC2 Output Voltage
DC-DC2 is adjustable and can be configured to generate a voltage between 1.2 V to 21 V. This enables supplying a very wide range of applications. By default, the output voltage is set to 9 V. This makes it suitable to supply an Arduino- compatible development board, which typically accepts an input range of 7 V to 12 V.
To adjust the output voltage the values of the feedback resistors must be changed. These are located at the bottom left corner of the PCB, making them easily resolderable. The required resistor values can be calculated from:Or use the KNX Family Efficiency Calculator4 which can be found on the ON Semiconductor website.
Inputs and Outputs
Arduino Header Pin-Out
Most of the buttons and LEDs are connected to digital pins on the Arduino headers. Two of the buttons and one LED are connected to analog input pins. This was done to keep the I2C-pins free for other purposes. The same applies for the TREQ-pin.
The SAVEB-pin is connected to a digital pin which has interrupt capabilities. This is necessary to provide a signal to the microcontroller as fast as possible indicating the bus voltage is dropping.
All the LEDs are connected to PWM-capable pins, allowing the application to dim the LEDs if desired. A complete net list for the microcontroller connections is given in Appendix A, Table 4 and in Appendix B, Table 5.4 https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/KNX%20FAMILY%20EFFICIENCY%20CALCULATOR.XLSM

User Buttons and LEDs
The shield has 4 on-board push buttons (SW1…4) and 4 LEDs (LED2…5) to enable the development of switching apps in particular. For a dimmer application the four buttons are split into two groups marked on the PCB as channel1 and channel2 (CH1/CH2). The upper button in the channel is used to dim up, whilst the other one is used for dimming down. Refer to Appendix A, Table 4 and Appendix B, Table 5 to see how these are connected to the I/O pins of the microcontroller.
It is possible to stack other shields containing I/Os which are used for the end application. Remove R26−R29 and R33−R36 if the buttons or LEDs conflict with the pin-out of the other shields used.
Programming Push Button and LED
To assign an individual address to a device in a KNX-network, the device must be put into programming mode. The simplest way to do this is by pressing the programming button (S1). LED6 indicates if the device is in programming mode.
It is possible to customize the entering in programming mode e.g. pushing two buttons simultaneously.

Microcontroller Clocking
NCN5130 and NCN5121 have the capability to deliver a clock signal to the microcontroller. This clock signal is available on the XCLK-pin of the transceiver and routed to a 2.54 mm header pin on the shield (See Figure 9). Because the Arduino headers do not foresee a dedicated pin to pass clock signals, it is mandatory to route this signal manually to the microcontroller. This is only necessary if it is desired to use this signal to clock the microcontroller. In most cases the microcontroller will be clocked from its internal RC-oscillator or from an external crystal.
By default, the clock signal on the XCLK-pin is 16 MHz. It can be changed to 8 MHz by tying the XSEL-pin to ground: De-solder R23 and solder a 0 resistor on the pads of R30.

Digital Communication Interface
Both the NCN5121 and NCN5130 implement the mac layer of the OSI model as shown in Figure 10. They will handle the coding and decoding of messages, sending acknowledges, etc… Critical low level timings such as the duration of the active pulse are all managed by the transceiver. The transceiver makes sure that the collision avoidance5 is handled correctly without any intervention by the host controller. This greatly reduces the software development effort. To communicate with the mac layer both a UART- and SPI-interface are supported. Note that

CSMA/CA: Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance.

when the transceiver operates in SPI-mode it acts as the master. The microcontroller must support slave mode in order to be able to communicate with the transceiver. To select in which mode the KNX-transceiver operates (UART or SPI) the MODE2-pin is used. When tied to GND using R32, the transceiver operates in UART-mode. Tying it to VDD1 using R25 puts the transceiver in SPI-mode. 560 resistors protect the I/O lines going to the microcontroller. Depending on which resistors are mounted either the UART or the SPI-lines are connected. If desired it is possible to transform a UART shield into SPI and vice versa by soldering/de- soldering the resistors as listed in Table 2.

Table 2. COMMUNICATION INTERFACE RESISTOR MOUNTING OPTIONS

Table 3. SELECT THE RIGHT BAUD RATE USING J1/J2

Selecting The Baud Rate
Jumpers J1 and J2 allow easy configuration of the baud rate and parity. This is only used in UART-mode. In SPI-mode, the communication speed is fixed to 500 kbps.
To make the UART-communication more robust, it is possible to enable the transmission of an even parity bit with every data byte. For the complete settings refer to the silkscreen on the shield or to Table 3.

Analog Communication Interface
The NCN5110 transceiver doesn’t contain any digital functionality, implementing only the physical layer of the OSI model. Both the TXD- and RXD- lines are directly connected to the KNX-transmitter/receiver.
Pulling the TXD high will make the transceiver drop the bus voltage as shown in Figure 11. Once the transmit line is pulled low again, the transceiver will put an equalisation pulse on the bus. The duration the bus voltage stays by an
amount of Vact below VDC, is determined by the microcontroller. As a consequence the microcontroller is also responsible for collision detection and avoidance. As well as the encoding and decoding of messages, sending acknowledges, etc… must be implemented in the microcontroller, increasing the software complexity.
The RXD-line will become high when an active pulse is detected on the bus. As the transceiver also receives the data itself transmitted on the bus, this line will also become high during transmission.

Enable Interface
The timing of the pulses which drive the NCN5110 are extremely time critical. Some microcontroller families have special timer modes which can be used to generate the correct pulses. Using these modes, would limit the use of the software to a certain microcontroller family.
An AND port combines the signals coming from D11 and D12. The schematic is shown in Figure 12. It provides a mechanism to set and clear the transmit signal, without the use of special timers only available in specific microcontroller families.
Two timers can be used, one to generate a rising edge, the other to generate a falling edge. Both signals are combined to create the desired transmit signal as shown in Figure 13.
Both input pins of the AND port are pulled low. This ensures that during the startup of the microcontroller, the transceiver won’t transmit.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
When designing a PCB for the KNX-transceiver it is important to take certain layout aspects into consideration. The following good practices will help to improve the EMC performance of the whole application. The Arduino shield is a two-layer PCB, with the main ground plane on the bottom layer. Empty space on the top layer is filled in with ground copper, but this is not a ground plane.

DC-DC Converters

Electromagnetic interference is dominated by the DC-DC converters. These converters switch at frequencies around 300 kHz. Without due consideration for PCB layout, radiated emissions can become a serious issue.
Figure 16 shows an example schematic of an inverter driving a capacitive load. The PCB tracks going to and coming from the load will act as an inductor at high switching frequencies. The return path can be the common circuit ground, but this is not always the case!
When constructing the PCB layout it is very important to pay attention to the signal return path.
The first situation in Figure 14 shows a single-layer design. Here the signal and return path form a large loop, which will act as an antenna at higher frequencies. This layout can be improved significantly by routing the signal and return path close to each other. They should be routed as if they were a differential pair. In most circuit designs, the return path for most signals is the common circuit ground. For these circuits using a two-or four-layer PCB with the main ground on the bottom- or inner-layer is the recommended choice. It simplifies the layout work and makes it much easier to create optimal return paths. Still care has to be taken during the design, as it is easy to overlook common mistakes. Figure 15 shows a situation

where there is a slot in the ground plane. The return path now goes around the slot creating a slot antenna. Ideally the bottom ground plane should never be interrupted.

Figure 17 shows the current loops for the two DC-DC converters on the Arduino shield. All the components on the shield are placed and routed to minimize the loop surface areas. When the DC-DC converter switches on its top transistor, the instantaneous current spike is drawn from the small 100 nF capacitor C8. As these current spikes are short, they will have a high frequency. So the most critical loop, is the current flowing from C8 into the parasitic capacitance at
VSW as shown in red. To keep this loop very small, C8 must be placed as close as possible to the VIN-pin. If possible, place it right next to it as in Figure 18.

Keeping all the tracks on the top layer avoids any disruptions in the bottom ground layer and resistance/inductance being added by vias. The two grey arrows show the larger current loops created by the DC-DC converter. These should also be kept as short as possible to minimize radiated emissions. Figure 18 shows the optimal layout, used on the shield, to keep these loops small.

The larger buffer capacitor C9 can be placed further away from the VIN-pin, as long as the small ceramic capacitor C8 is placed very close to it.

TVS Diode

• It is important to optimize the layout of the Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode in order to effectively protect the transceiver against surges. When a surge occurs, the TVS diode must clamp the voltage to a level which doesn’t damage the transceiver. To achieve this, the series resistance should be as low as possible.
• This can be done by connecting KNX-directly to the TVS diode before being routed to the rest of the PCB ground as shown in Figure 20. This ensures that the current path to the TVS has the lowest resistance and no transient current will flow to the transceiver.

GETTING STARTED

The Arduino shield comes with demo software developed by Tapko Technologies GmbH. The software includes a demo version of KAIstack which runs on a STM32F103-NUCLEO board. This software contains all the necessary software components to connect to the KNX-bus and comes with a variety of demo applications. The demo version of KAIstack can be used to start developing custom application software. The following limitations apply to the demo version:

• Limited to 16 group addresses, 16 associations and 16 communication objects instead of 255.
• Application interface objects have been removed.
• The rout-count is set to zero in the network layer, limiting the application use to only one line.
• There are no repetitions on the transport layer.
• It is not possible to change the individual address of the device through ETS.
• Only one derivative is supported.

Prerequisites

Listed below are all the components needed to construct a small KNX-network with the NCN5100ASGEVB.

• KNX power supply (including a choke).
• USB-KNX interface to communicate with ETS on the PC.
• A demo version of ETS.
• STM32F103-NUCLEO board to plug the shield into.
• Any version of the NCN5100ASGEVB.

Hardware Modifications

To get started with the demo software, a NCN5110, NCN5121 or NCN5130 Arduino shield is required in combination with a STM32F103-NUCLEO board. In order to get the software running on the microcontroller, a couple of hardware modifications are required. To meet the timing requirements to communicate on the KNX-bus, it is mandatory to have a more accurate clock than the on provided by the internal RC-oscillator of the microcontroller. Two options are suggested below.

Placing a Crystal

• Mount a crystal in the X3 footprint on the Nucleo board.
• This crystal must have a frequency of 16 MHz. For the recommended value of the loading capacitors C33/C34, refer to the datasheet of the crystal.
• A good crystal is the 9B-16.000MEEJ-B, which needs loading capacitors of 18 pF.

To get the crystal working on the Nucleo board the following configuration is required (Figures 21 and 22):

• Place 0 resistors at R35 and R37.
• Solder the loading capacitors on C33 and C34.
• Remove the 0 resistor at SB50.
• Solder the crystal on X3.

Apply An External Clock

The second option is to use an external clock. Use the XCLK-output of the KNX- transceiver as a clock input for the microcontroller. By tying the XCLKC-pin high/low a clock frequency of 16 MHz or 8 MHz can be selected. By default on the Arduino shield, the XCLKC-pin is pulled high, meaning a clock signal of 16 MHz is present on the XCLK-pin. This method has the advantage that the complete application only needs one crystal.

To use the XCLK-output as a clock signal, the following configuration is required:

• Place a 0 resistor at SB55.
• Remove the 0 resistor from SB50.
• Connect the XCLK-pin on the Arduino shield to pin 29 of CN7 on the Nucleo board. Do this using a wire which is as short as possible.

UART Communication

• On the Nucleo board the USART2 interface is by default used to communicate with the on-board ST-LINK.
• This means that it is not possible to use D0 and D1 on the Arduino headers for UART communication, as they are not connected.

To enable UART communication on the Arduino headers execute the following steps (Figures 21 and 22):

• Remove the 0 resistors from SB13 and SB14.
• Mount 0 resistors at SB62 and SB63.

These steps will disable the communication between the microcontroller and the ST-LINK. Then it is no longer possible to use the Virtual COM-port on the Nucleo board. To keep using the Virtual COM-port, connect another USART peripheral to the ST-LINK. USART3 is a possible candidate which can be used by connecting two wires as follows:

• Connected pin 1 of CN7 (PC10-USART3_TX) to the RX pin on CN3.
• Connected pin 2 of CN7 (PC11-USART3_RX) to the TX pin on CN3.

Setting Up A Network

Once the STM32F103-NUCLEO board is ready, a small network can be set up to get started with the NCN5100ASGEVB.

Connecting Power

There are several options to power the Nucleo board. Refer to Section Power for all the possible configurations. To get started, remove the jumpers J10 and J11 from the Arduino shield and place JP5 on the Nucleo in the U5V position. This way the microcontroller will be powered from the USB port while the KNX-transceiver is powered from the KNX-bus. To power the complete solution from the KNX-bus, place J10 on the Arduino shield and JP5 in the E5V position on the Nucleo.

UART Communication

The demo software from Tapko communicates with the transceiver at 19.2 kb/s using an even parity bit. Place J1 and J2 in the ‘0’-position to select the correct communication speed.

Building The Network

A minimal network setup consists of a KNX power supply, KNX USB-interface and the NCN5100ASGEVB. This setup is displayed in Figure 23. The KNX USB-interface is used to configure the NCN5100ASGEVB through ETS and to send and receive messages. After setting up the network, connect the USB coming from the KNX USB-interface and the Nucleo to the PC. The physical hardware setup is now complete.

Installing The Software

The microcontroller demo software can be found on the ON Semiconductor website [5]. Download the software, unpack it and execute the installer. The installer will first ask in which folders to install the software. The first folder will contain KAIstack, the compiler, software examples and the documentation. In the second installation folder, some additional tools and the documentation for KAIstack are installed.

Next, the installer gives the option to select which components to install. It is recommended to leave everything selected. When clicking on Next, a summary is given of what will be installed.

Install the software and open the installation folder where KAIstack is installed. The folder structure will look like the one shown in Figure 27. In the appl_example folder, many examples of application programs can be found. Refer to the documentation included with the installation on how to modify the software examples to your needs.

Building and Loading The Software

The folder structure of the first application example 1in1out 07B0 is shown in Figure 28.

Two folders named dummy and tmp contain some temporary files necessary to compile the program. These files can be ignored. The ETS_DB folder contains an ETS-project, that will be used later on to configure the NCN5100ASGEVB. The folder named 1_IN_OUT_07B0 contains all the files necessary to get started in the KNX manufacturer tool. They can be used to create a catalog entry, product database, etc…

The final output files generated by the compiler are placedin the output folder. The binary that must be loaded in the microcontroller can be found there. The application program specific source and header files are located in the src folder. A file named project.h contains all the project specific settings. These projects are all compiled using the ARM KEIL compiler. It is possible to open the example projects in the KEIL µVision IDE. The necessary files are located in the workspace folder. For more information refer to the documentation included with the installation. Lastly there are two batch files included in the folder.

These can be used to build and rebuild the application. To get started with the previously built setup, one of the example projects must be loaded in the microcontroller. Compile the 1in1out_07B0 example by executing the rebuild.cmd batch file. A command window will pop-up showing the progress of the compilation process. It will display a message, as shown in Figure 29 once the compilation is finished. Now the output folder contains a .hex file, which can be loaded in the microcontroller.

To program the microcontroller, the STM32CubeProgrammer tool is used. Open the program after downloading and installing the latest version. In the tool click on Open File and select the generated .hex file. Once it is loaded in the tool, click on the Download button to load it in the microcontroller. A window saying File download complete should pop up, as shown in Figure 30. Now the KNX-device is ready and the network can be configured.

A room can not exist on it’s own and must be created inside a building. To create a building, click on the word Buildings and then Add Buildings. Once the building is created, right click on it and select Add → Rooms to create a room. To assign NCN5100ASGEVB to the room just created, click on the Not assigned to a room folder and drag the device into the room. After the device is linked to a room, an individual address must be assigned to it.

The individual address has a fixed format, and is chosen in such a way that it reflects it’s position in the network. It is only used for programming the device. For more information on this topic, refer to the official KNX- documentation [4]. The Tapko demo stack doesn’t support changing the individual address. So the device must be given the fixed individual address 1.5.8 as shown in Figure 33. Click on the device in the Buildings panel so that the Properties panel opens on the right. Under the settings tab the individual address can be found.

Now the group addresses have to be assigned in order for the device to communicate on the bus. Refer to the official KNX-documentation [4] for more information on how the communication system with group addresses works. Click on the device in the Buildings panel and go to it’s Group Objects tab, as shown in Figure 34. It will show all the supported group objects and the group addresses which are assigned to it. The assigned group addresses will be blank.

To assign a group address to a group object, right click on it and select Link with…. A window as shown in Figure 35 will pop up. In this window, select New. In this tab a new group address can be created which will be immediately assigned to the group object. Assign group address 0/0/2 to the bit group object and 0/0/1 to the switch group object. Give them both an appropriate name. The switch group object is used to send a bit value on the bus every time the button SW3 is pressed. The bit group object is used to control LED3 on the shield.

It is possible to review and adjust the group addresses/names in the Group Addresses panel (Workplace → Open New Panel).

Now the complete project has been configured and should look like Figure 34. This configuration can now be loaded in the NCN5100ASGEVB. Make sure that the USB-KNX interface is connected to the PC. Right click on the device in ETS and select Download → Full download.

ETS will now ask to press the programming button on the NCN5100ASGEVB. It can be found on the lower left corner of the shield. After pressing the button, the LED above will light up. Now ETS will start the download process. Once the download has finished, open the Diagnostics panel by clicking on the Diagnostics button on the top menu bar. In this panel it is possible to monitor what happens on the network and control the network through the USB- KNX interface. Press the Start button to start monitoring the network.

Now every time button SW3 on the shield gets pressed a message is sent on the bus by the NCN5100ASGEVB. The Diagnostics panel shows who is sending the message, what group address is being sent and what value. The value should toggle between On and Off every time the button is pressed.

It is possible to send messages on the bus through the Diagnostics panel to control one of the LEDs on the shield. In the Group Address field enter 0/0/2. When pressing the Read button, the USB-KNX interface sends a read request on the bus for group object 0/0/2. The NCN5100ASGEVB will respond with the current state of LED3, which is Off. In the Value field enter 1. When the Write button is pressed, the USB-KNX interface sends group object 0/0/2 on the bus with the value On. LED3 on the shield should now light up. When pressing the Read button again the device will now respond with On.
