2 PIC Communication Problem
PostPosted: Tue Jan 21, 2020 8:46 am     Reply with quote

Hi,
My english is very bad. I am sorry.

RS485 using communicate between; 1 Master pic and 1 Slave pic.

I am sending data from the master pic, but I cannot receive data from the slave pic.

Because I think I have a timing problem.

I am using MAX485. Pin_B7 = RE and DE control pin.

Master :

Code:
#include <16f877a.h>
#fuses HS,NOLVP,NOWDT,NOPROTECT       
#use delay(clock=20000000)       
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, bits=8)     
#include <stdlib.h>

int16 x;

void main()
{
set_tris_b(0x00);
output_b(0);

set_tris_a(0xFF);
output_a(0);

set_tris_c(0x9F);

   while (TRUE)
   {
      output_low(pin_b7);   
   
      if (input(PIN_A0)==1)
      {
      output_high(pin_b7);   
      fputc('1');      
      output_low(pin_b7);   
      }
     
      if (input(PIN_A0)==0)     
      {
      output_high(pin_b7);   
      fputc('0');      
      output_low(pin_b7);   
      }
     
      if (kbhit())    
      {
      x = getc();
      }
       
      if (x=='2')      
      {
      output_high(pin_b0);
      }
     
      if (x=='3')
      {
      output_low(pin_b0);   
      }
   }
}


Slave :

Code:
#include <16f877a.h>
#fuses HS,NOLVP,NOWDT,NOPROTECT       
#use delay(clock=20000000)     
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, bits=8)
#include <stdlib.h>

int16 x;

void main()
{
set_tris_b(0x00);
output_b(0);

set_tris_a(0xFF);
output_a(0);

set_tris_c(0x9F);

   while (TRUE)
   {   
       output_low(pin_b7);
       
       if (kbhit())
       {
       x = getc();
       }
       
       if (x=='1')
       {
       output_high(pin_b0);   
       output_high(pin_b7);   
       fputc('2');      
       output_low(pin_b7);   
       }
       
       if (x=='0')
       {
       output_low(pin_b0);   
       output_high(pin_b7);
       fputc('3');      
       output_low(pin_b7);
       }       
   }
}


What should I do?
Thank you for your help.

I searched the site on the subject. But I could not see an example that would be a solution.


I am trying to do:

Master:

A0 == 1 -> (master send -> slave) RE-DE High / fputc('1') / RE-DE Low
A0 == 0 -> (master send -> slave) RE-DE High / fputc('0') / RE-DE Low

x == 2 -> B0 High (master read) #not working code
x == 3 -> B0 Low (master read) #not working code

Slave:

x == 1 -> B0=1 // (slave send -> master) RE-DE High // fputc('2') // RE-DE Low
x == 0 -> B0=0 // (slave send -> master) RE-DE High // fputc('3') // RE-DE Low

Some comments...

CCS does supply an example, in the 'examples' folder, I think it's named EX_RS485.C.

If you press F11 while your project is open, the CCS manual should appear. Look at the 'USE RS232(...keywords...)' for correct syntax and keywords.
ENABLE is the one that defines which pin you want to automatically control RE +DE.

You also need to add 'ERRORS' to the USE RS232(...keywords...). This will keep the UART from 'locking up'.

Also you can remove the SET_TRIS() code, the compiler will AUTOMATICALLY take care of that for you.

hopefully others will reply as well...

If you are disabling receive, when you are transmitting, the line feeding the
RX input on both PICs, need a pullup resistors on them. Otherwise when you
transmit, you may well receive spurious characters as this line floats.

The RS485 bus itself also needs to have it's termination biased, so it
only sees data when it is actually driven.

<https://www.edn.com/understanding-rs-485-passive-fail-safe-biasing/>

Both Maxim and Texas do have later transceivers that have biasing built
in, but for the standard MAX485, this is required.

AS Mr. T. points out, you've got to get the Hardware correct BEFORE getting the Software .
The pullups are important, and be sure the wiring is correct! A to A, B to B. Don't 'flip them' A to B, B to A.....

If you have an oscilloscope, or a logic analyzer, use that to check whether the elections are getting through in the first place

Hi, thanks for the answers.

This is my real connection.

Link: https://i.hizliresim.com/yGBzan.png

The circuit doesn't work real life.
And the circuit doesn't work in simulation.

A0 = 1 --> master sending slave "1" --> S1 B0 = 1
S1 B0 = 1 --> slave sending master "2" --> B0 = 1 but "?"

Master Edit:

Code:

#include <16f877a.h>
#fuses HS,NOLVP,NOWDT,NOPROTECT       
#use delay(clock=20000000)       
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, enable=PIN_C5, bits=8, ERRORS)     
#include <stdlib.h>

void main()
{
   while (TRUE)
   {
      if (input(PIN_A0)==1)
      {
      fputc('1');
            if (getc()=='2')
            output_high(pin_b0);
      }
      if (input(PIN_A0)==0)     
      {
      fputc('0');
            if (getc()=='3')
            output_low(pin_b0);
      }
   }
}


Slave Edit:

Code:

#include <16f877a.h>
#fuses HS,NOLVP,NOWDT,NOPROTECT       
#use delay(clock=20000000)     
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, enable=PIN_C5, bits=8, ERRORS)
#include <stdlib.h>

int16 x;

void main()
{
   while (TRUE)
   {   
       if (kbhit())
       {
       x = getc();
       }
       
       if (x=='1')
       {
       output_high(pin_b0);   
       fputc('2');   
       }
       
       if (x=='0')
       {
       output_low(pin_b0);   
       fputc('3');   
       }       
   }
}


I checked EX_RS485.C file but i could not adapt.
What should i fix?


Edit: i checked master RX, Slave sending master "d2" not "2"

OK. Well you don't have the required pullups on the RXD lines, and you don't
have biasing on the RS485 lines. Both are needed.

But,
Slave not sending master "2". Slave sending "d"
Slave not sending master "3". Slave sending "f"

Why?


"and you don't have biasing on the RS485 lines."
I do not understand. Can you explain please?

Thanks for help.

Thank you.

I researched and I think I'm on the right track.

My circuit diagram

But still not working in real life.
Everything is exactly the same.

Why?

You need to analyze the data. Apparently, your problem is that the slave
is sending a 'd' character, but the master is receiving a '2'.

So, look at the bit patterns. Find a suitable ASCII chart on the net. Example:
http://web.alfredstate.edu/faculty/weimandn/miscellaneous/ascii/ascii_index.html
Code:

'd' bit pattern transmitted is: 01100100
'2' bit pattern received is:    00110010

Notice the received bits are equal to the transmitted bits, except they are
shifted to the right by 1 bit.

The PIC's UART transmits data LSB first. See Figure 10-1 in the 16F877A data sheet, on page 115 in the Acrobat reader:
https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/devicedoc/39582b.pdf

So, your circuit or your code is causing the PIC to miss the first (LSB) bit.
Or it may be your testing method or software is causing the problem.
Or i'ts the compiler, some issue with the Enable pin.

On the biasing, you are not applying enough. It needs to give 200mV to
ensure the '0' is seen. You have two 330R resistors in parallel, but only
5K of bias resistor. If you look at the example circuit you give the link to
they are using 560R for the bias....
Now it is impossible to tell from your photograph whether you have the
other resistors on the RX pins for the PIC. Again the example you point to
correctly shows these. Do you have these?. They are needed.

Is your intention 'long term', to have the RS485 going a significant distance?.
If so, the correct layout, is to have termination at each end of the bus wire
(within just a few tens of mm), Bias at one end only, but termination at both.
The value of the termination should be selected to give a reasonably good
impedance match to the wire of the bus. So if (for instance) this is network
cabling (that has about 100R impedance), you should be looking to have
perhaps a 110R resistance at each end. For this sort of cable I use a 110R
at the non biased end, and 220R, with 470R for the two bias resistors at
the other end.
This gives an equivalent impedance of 113R at this end. The two bias
resistors are in parallel with the terminating resistor in terms of the
impedance match.

Until the biasing is right, you risk the receiving end 'seeing' the transceiver
being 'off' as giving data.....

Once this is done, then we start having to ask other questions.

Lets start with an explanation.

You are sitting with both devices listening to the bus.
Now nothing is driving the bus then, except the biasing.
At this point the PIC _must_ see '1' on it's RX input.
The bus biasing ensures this happens.
If it is not enough, then you risk getting odd characters received.

Then you go to transmit. RE set high. At this point the receive
transceiver turns off. Now the PIC UART will still receive characters
if anything does arrive on the RX pin. The pull up on the RX pin ensures
it does not receive anything at this time. If it does, then again you risk
receiving wrong characters.

So you need both the bus biased, and the PIC RX pins biased to give
correct reception.

re: ... The circuit doesn't work real life.

You're right, it never, ever will. There are serious basic hardware problem with that schematic.

Hello,

I arranged the circuit. This is seen on the oscilloscope.

Blue signal = Master: TX
Yellow signal = Slave: RX
Master sending "1" -> Slave




But it doesn't work. What is sent on the signal?
"1" is sent in the program.
If this is "1", the circuit should work. (yellow signal)


This is my circuit:
https://i.hizliresim.com/r0AvXN.jpg

Connected to vcc with RX 10K
100ohm connected between A and B.
Connected to vcc with A 330ohm.
Connected to gnd with B 330ohm.

I changed the resistance values, but the result is almost the same.
