Description

Unit ChainBus is a Chain series communication protocol conversion unit. It integrates an STM32G031G8U6 chip and uses a UART daisy-chain communication protocol to enable chained connections of multiple devices. It supports multiple protocol interface conversions, allowing various peripherals to be expanded on the same bus, and integrates hardware control and data interaction capabilities.

The UART interfaces on the left and right sides are used to connect Chain series devices, supporting device UID query, version query, link device enumeration, heartbeat communication, and more. The top multifunction expansion interface can be used to extend Unit series devices, supporting I2C communication control, GPIO management (input and output), ADC sampling, and NVIC interrupt management. It is suitable for industrial control, IoT, smart home, and other application scenarios, providing an effective solution for unified control and data interaction of multiple devices.

Operating Instructions

The left and right HY2.0-4P interfaces of Unit ChainBus are used for Chain Bus input and output respectively, while the top expansion connector is used to connect Unit series devices.

Unit ChainBus adopts the same UART daisy-chain protocol as other Chain series expansion devices (such as Chain Angle, Chain Encoder, etc.). It can serve as a custom functional node and be connected to the Chain Bus. Multiple Unit ChainBus devices can be expanded on the same bus. Through interface function configuration, different types of hardware peripheral controls can also be integrated on the same bus.
