ESP32 Open IoT and IIoT Gateways (P01 & P02)

Open IoT Gateway is also called as a PAC (Programmable Automation Controller). PAC products combine the functionality and openness of a PC, the reliability of a programmable logic unit like PLC and the intelligence of I/O modules with flexible software tools for a wide range of applications from data acquisition, process control, motion control to energy and building management.

Our PAC family includes FreeRTOS PACs and MicroPython PACs for different requirements in OS, CPU and development platform.

The P01 and P02 Gateways are based on ESP32 Xtensa LX6.

Variants

P01 - Open IoT and IIoT Gateway 2 x RS232/RS485

In the P01 gateway user should use only RS232 or only RS485 interface of one port as they occupy the same internal bus of the device.

P02 - Open IoT and IIoT Gateway 2 x RS232/RS485 + WiFi

In the P02 gateway user should use only RS232 or only RS485 interface of one port as they occupy the same internal bus of the device.

Frame ground FG

Electronic circuits are constantly prone to electrostatic discharge ESD. Redisage Electronics modules feature a design for the frame ground terminal block FG. The frame ground provides a path for bypassing ESD, which provides enhanced static protection ESD abilities and ensures the module is more reliable. Connecting FG terminal block to the earth ground will bypass the ESD disturbances outside the device so will provide a better level of protection against ESD.

Frame Ground FG connection reference drawing is provided below.

If earth ground is not available FG can be left floating or it can be connected with the power supply GND.

Board overview

The complete Open IoT and IIoT Gateway kit consists of:

• developer module
• RJ45 network adapter
• hardware programmer

Power input pinout

• VCC - power supply input 9-30 VDC
• GND - power supply ground
• DI - digital input (used while there is no button mounted and it can be shorten only to GND)
• FG - frame ground

Test connectors

Provided test connectors can be used for board debugging.

• GPIO_38 - ESP32 general purpose input
• 3V3 - 3.3 VDC
• I2C_SCL, I2C_SDA - I2C connectors
• GND - ground
• NC - not connected
• FGC - frame ground connector
• BUT_EXT - button test line (default: high state)
• Q2 - Q2 output of parallel register (74HC595BQ)
• STCP - clock input of serial register (74HC595BQ)
• SHCP - clock input of buffer register (74HC595BQ)
• Q7S - output of serial register (74HC595BQ)
• CHIP_PU - chip power up line ('1' - powers chip up)

Button / antenna

The antenna connector can be replaced with a button which can be used for, for example, restoring device to the default configuration, saved in EEPROM.

In order to use the button instead of the antenna, the R52 resistor (near the microUSB connector, on the bottom side) has to be soldered to the board.

RS232 ports

The device has 2 independent RS485 ports.

RS485 ports

The device is equipped with two MAX481 transceivers that enable communication in the RS485 standard on two channels independently.

As the RS485_1 / RS232_1 and RS485_2 / RS232_2 standards use common microcontroller serial ports, it is possible to use only 1 interface from the pair at a time.

ETHERNET

In order to support the Ethernet network interface communication, the network adapter available in the kit must be installed on the module (pay attention to its correct installation). This interface is supported by the external IP101G physical layer which communicates with the ESP32 microcontroller.

Programming

The device can be programmed only with the external hardware programmer connected via Tag-Connect connector.

Simplified Block Diagram

ESP32 Open IoT and IIoT Gateways (P01 & P02)

Optional elements are marked with the dashed lines.

RGB LED

ESP32 Open IoT and IIoT Gateways (P01 & P02)

RGB LED is controlled by SIPO shift register 74HC595BQ.

• SHCP - shift register clock input
• STCP - storage register clock input
• DS - serial data input

Switch

ESP32 Open IoT and IIoT Gateways (P01 & P02)

The Open IoT Gateway P01 variant contains a tactile switch. The PCB has hardware pull-up designed into it so debouncing effect is eliminated.

If the switch is soldered to the PCB, make sure there is also a resistor R52 located on the bottom layer of the board.

RS232 and RS485

ESP32 Open IoT and IIoT Gateways (P01 & P02)

The gateway is equipped with 2 transceivers MAX481 that handle transmission in RS485 standard on each channel independently. Similar to RGB, each channel can be enabled by SIPO shift register 74HC595BQ.

To ensure transmission in RS232 standard there is also ST3232BTR IC which allows transmission on each channel independently. 

It is possible to use only one pair of each interface at the same moment, because RS232 and RS485 use the same UART pins on the MCU.

Ethernet PHY

ESP32 Open IoT and IIoT Gateways (P01 & P02)

The Ethernet interface is provided by the IP101G physical layer. There is also an external board with RJ45 socket which ensures wired connection to the network.

MicroUSB

ESP32 Open IoT and IIoT Gateways (P01 & P02)

MicroUSB ensures access straight to UART interface (UART0). The Open IoT Gateway does not have inbuild FTDI converter so an external USB to UART FTDI converter is needed to run a serial port monitor on a PC.

I2C EEPROM

ESP32 Open IoT and IIoT Gateways (P01 & P02)

WiFi/Antenna

ESP32 Open IoT and IIoT Gateways (P01 & P02)

The Open IoT and IIoT Gateway P02 variant contains SMA connector for a WiFi/Bluetooth antenna.
