FLOOR-HEATING-IO-MODULE

Description

  • A floor heating controler device that is designed to operate 4 separate zones with TWAs (Thermal Wax Actuators) and 4 PT1000 temperature sensors per zone. The device is able to to get up to a specified temperature and will hold it there by use of a PI controller.
  • The device is designed to be connected to a main controller, which can monitor it, communicate with it and set its set point temperature all through the MODBUS communication protocol.
  • NOT YET TESTED Ability to connect to wireless thermostats using Zigbee and set temperature and retrieve temp reading.

Software Description

  • A STM32WB55 Nucleo board was used to vevelop the softwrae. Running freeRTOS with multiple threads - MODBUS thread, PI thread, temperature ADC thread.

  • Temperature set point values are stored in "Holding_Registers_Database", see app_freertos.h to see addresses.
  • The MODBUS library used is a fork of Modbus-STM32-HAL-FreeRTOS, the fork is available here
  • Both ADC and UART have DMA enabled.
  • MODBUS - thread "StartTaskModbusSlave", timer "TimerT35", semaphore. Found in Modbus.c
  • ADC - thread "CalculateTemp_Thread". Found in app_freertos.c
  • PI control - thread "ControlTask", timer "ControlExecTim and "TwaControlTim"
  • Captured packets from Zigbee
