INBROLLY - IPC-CPUF407 Automation Controller

IPC-CPUF407 is a DIN-IPC series controller for industrial and IoT applications. Its advantage is that it can be mounted in low profile distribution boards with the same profile as conventional circuit breakers. It includes the STM32F407 microcontroller, which supports Ethernet network interface, SDIO is used for Wi-Fi connectivity, as well as a wide range of other interfaces. It is therefore suitable for devices requiring either wired or wireless internet connectivity for data acquisition and control.

Target applications:

Data collection
Production line control
Industrial component control
Internet of Things (IoT)
Smart homes
Cloud services

Features:

Low profile for installation in conventional distribution boards
ARM Cortex-M4, 168 MHz, 210 DMIPS/566 CoreMark, 1MB flash, 192 kB RAM
Ethernet and Wi-Fi networking
MicroSD card
USB 2.0 HS (480Mbit/s), USB-C PD, OTG
Interface RS-232/485/422, 2x digital inputs , 1x digital output
Service interface (USB UART terminal)
Expandability via modules

IPC-CPUF407 includes two expansion connectors that can be used to connect additional modules. A sample application is available to speed up the development of the desired application.

The sample application contains:
• Bootloader for application update over terminal
• OS FreeRTOS
• TCP/IP stack lwIP
• DHCP client
• NTP client
• Command terminal via serial line and telnet (commands similar to OS Linux)
• USB PD for connecting devices via USB-C as device or host
• FatFs for reading MicroSD card files and USB drives
• MicroSD access via USB as USB mass storage
• Control of digital inputs, outputs and ADCs (DIO and AIN modules)

Sample applications:

Bootloader

The bootloader is the base code that is running after the device starts. It waits about 10 seconds for an attempt to update the application via the terminal or from the MicroSD card. It then boots the main application.
