1. INTRODUCTION

This document is the technical guide both to the Appliance Mini Interface (AMI) interface module and to he most common Appliance Cables. The AMI is a USB interface module that has been designed by Cross Technology and Innovation (CTI) department in order to suit laboratory and field service applications. The need to have a USB interface module is due to the fact that in the current personal computers the serial port has been replaced by the USB port.

1.1. MAIN FEATURES

The main features of the AMI are the following:

• Support of DAAS (Domestic Appliance Acquisition System) and MACS (Major Appliance

Communication System) standard communication protocols from Electrolux. DAAS is a pointto-point protocol that allows the communication between an electronic appliance and an external unit. MACS is a peer-to-peer bus protocol that allows the communication among different units both inside and outside an electronic appliance.

• Full backward compatibility with the previous DAAS modules from Electrolux.

• External power supply (maximum absolute range): from 7.5V

DC

to 12V

DC

unregulated. The recommended power supply value is 9V

DC

unregulated .

AMI module automatically uses the external power supply when you connect the corresponding connector.

• Output Current: the AMI is able to provide to the target board a regulated 5V

DC

power supply.

This is order to allow the configuration of a board without the need to connect it to the mains power supply. The typical value of the maximum current that you can draw from the interface module depends on whether you use an external power supply or not. If you use an external power supply, the AMI is able to provide up to 150mA (with less than 5% in output voltage drop). If you use instead only the power supply from the USB cable, the AMI is able to provide up to 80mA (with less than 5% in output voltage drop).

• USB power capability: if the module is attached to the host PC via the USB cable, in most cases it is not necessary to provide an external power. You must use an external power supply when the target board absorbs more than 80mA . This may be the case when you use the AMI to program a board with several LEDs and/or an LCD display that is not connected to the mains supply (230 V

AC

).

• The AMI module is designed to ensure 3750 V

DC

isolation between the primary and the secondary stage. The primary stage is the AMI portion that is electrically in contact with the host personal computer. The secondary stage is instead the AMI portion that is electrically in contact with the target electronic board.

• AMI units for field service applications are 100% tested for electrical insulation up to 2500

V

DC

.

• The Power LED is green when the module is powered on. If you use an external power supply, you can notice that the green color of the LED is brighter.

• The Secondary Power LED is yellow when +5V

DC

is present on the secondary stage. +5V

DC power supply is present in the secondary stage both when you enable it with the secondary power switch and when the AMI is connected to an appliance connected to the mains voltage.

• You connect the AMI to the PC using a USB 2.0 male A to male B cable. The maximum length of the cable is 5 meters. However the recommended length is 1.8 meters or less. The longest the USB cable, the highest is the chance of communication errors. This is true especially when you are using the MACS communication protocol.

5. USB DRIVERS INSTALLATION

5.1. Introduction

This paragraph provides hands-on instructions on how to properly install the Universal Serial

Bus (USB) drivers for the AMI interface module.

You can use the USB interface on standard PCs equipped by one of the latest Microsoft

Windows operating systems with plug-and-play capabilities and with support for the Universal

Serial Bus: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, etc. These drivers work only in the 32-bit version of the operating system.

Please note that you cannot install the AMI drivers in Windows 98/Me.

In addition, please remember that you must log on as full Administrator in order to install the USB drivers.

5.2. Driver Signing Issues

Currently the USB drivers for the AMI are not digitally signed. In order to allow the installation of the drivers, CTI recommends setting the Driver Signing Options either to Ignore or to Warn both in Windows 2000, XP and Vista.

In order to open the Driver Signing Options dialog box, right click on My Computer, then select

Properties >> Hardware >> Driver Signing:

Fig. 27. Driver Signing Options

If you set the option to Warn (see Fig. 27 for reference), CTI-Software Development Group

verified that only XP actually issues a warning to the user whenever he/she starts the installation of the drivers. Under XP the following dialog box appears twice during the setup:


22



Fig. 28. Driver Signing Warning in XP

In this case you should just select Continue Anyway and ignore the above message.

Under Vista instead, you see a dialog box that displays the following message: “Windows can’t verify the publisher of this driver software”. In this case you can safely issue the “Install this driver software anyway” command.

Currently CTI-Software Development Group does not yet know whether in the future it will certify or not the USB drivers for the appliance adapters.

5.3. Installing the drivers

The instructions that follow in this paragraph refer to Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 –

English Version. Other versions of this operating system may require slightly different commands.

Although Windows 2000 and Vista require different steps, the general concepts still apply. For this reason you can refer to this section also if you are using Windows 2000 and Vista.

If you use the AMI for the first time, you need the files of the ELECTROLUX CDM Driver

Disk. To install them you should follow the next simple steps (if you experience a problem please refer to the next paragraph on “driver signing” issues):

• Connect the AMI to the PC by means on a type A-B (male/male) USB cable.

• Wait for the plug-and-play (PnP) manager to detect the new hardware. You should see the following message:



23


Fig. 29. Found New Hardware – Step1

• When the initial dialog of the Found New Hardware Wizard appears, select “No, not this time” and press Next.

Fig. 30. Found New Hardware – Step2

• Select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)” and press Next.



24


Fig. 31. Install From a Specific Location (Advanced)

• Let the wizard know where to find the drivers. If the driver files in the ELECTROLUX

CDM Driver Disk stay in a floppy or a CD-ROM drives, just check “Search removable media (floppy, CD-ROM…)”. Otherwise browse to the folder that contains the driver files.

Fig. 32. Locate Driver Files

• The system locates a proper driver for the AMI interface module and it displays the following messages:



25


Fig. 33. Appliance Mini Interface Adapter Driver Files Search Results

• After a while, the system shows another dialog. Just press Finish to complete the installation of the USB drivers.

Fig. 34. Setup End

• The system now detects an additional piece of hardware (USB Serial Port). When the initial dialog of the Found New Hardware Wizard appears, select “No, not this time” and press Next.

• Select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)” and press Next.

• Select “Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended)” and press Next.



26


• Let the wizard know where to find the drivers. If the driver files in the ELECTROLUX

CDM Driver Disk stay in a floppy or a CD-ROM drives, just check “Search removable media (floppy, CD-ROM…)”. Otherwise browse to the folder that contains the driver files.

• The system locates a proper driver for the USB Serial Port and it displays the following messages:

Fig. 35. USB Serial Port Driver Files Search Results

• After a while, the system shows another dialog. Just press Finish to complete the installation of the virtual COM port driver.

Fig. 36. Setup End



27


5.4. Verifying the setup

In order to verify the installation of the USB drivers and the correct operation of the plug-andplay features, right click on My Computer, then select Properties >> Hardware >> Device

Manager.

When the interface module is connected to the PC through the USB cable, the Device Manager should display two entries showing the name of the interface module: one under “Ports (COM &

LPT)” and the other under “Universal Serial Bus controllers”. For example if the “Appliance

Universal Adapter” is connected:

Fig. 37. Device Manager

Then verify that these entries disappear if you disconnect the interface module. Finally check that these entries appear if you turn on or connect again the module.



28


5.5. Changing the COM port number

If you want, after the initial setup, you can override the COM port number of a USB serial port that the installer automatically assigns.

Open the Device Manager by right clicking on My Computer, then select Properties >>

Hardware >> Device Manager.

From Device Manager, expand the Ports (COM & LPT) node and select the name of the interface module (Appliance Universal Adapter). Right-click on the entry and click Properties. Select the

Port Settings tab, then click Advanced. Choose the required COM port number from the list and click OK.

Fig. 38. COM Port Number Selection

You are recommended not to change any other options in this dialog.



29


5.6. Additional Options

The driver provides additional options that you may want to override.

Open the Device Manager by right click on My Computer, then select Properties >> Hardware

>> Device Manager.

From Device Manager, expand the “Universal Serial Bus controllers” node and select the name of the interface module (for example Appliance Mini Interface). Right click on the entry and click

Properties. Select the Advanced tab:

Fig. 39. Load VCP Option

The Load VCP option, allows you to enable or enable or disable the creation of the Virtual COM port (VCP) when you connect the device to the PC. By default virtual COM port creation is enabled.

Please remember that VCP support is essential when you use the Electrolux DAAS protocol. For this reason, CTI recommends you to leave this option set.



30


If you select the Power Management tab, you can override the installation defaults:

Fig. 40. Power Management Options

The default settings for Power Management are already OK. For this reason, CTI recommends you to leave these options in their default state.



31


5.7. Uninstalling the USB Drivers

In order to remove the USB drivers of the AMI disconnect it from the PC and then launch the

Control Panel and select the Add/Remove Programs applet. Then locate the “FTDI USB Serial

Converter Drivers” entry and remove the corresponding software:

Fig. 41. Removing the USB Drivers

Sometimes the “Add/Remove Programs” utility doesn’t work correctly and the drivers are not removed from the system. To solve this problem you can use the FTClean utility provided by the

FTDI. company. You can download the latest version of the FTClean utility from this URL: http://www.ftdichip.com/Resources/Utilities.htm

.

6. ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

This chapter provides detailed information about the typical electrical characteristics of the AMI module. CTI performed the electrical characterization on an AMI version 3 module with 8-Way plug.

Please remember that the actual characteristics may slightly change among different samples.

6.1. POWER SUPPLY

The maximum absolute range for the external power supply is from 7.5VDC to 12VDC unregulated.

The recommended power supply value is 9VDC unregulated.

AMI module automatically uses the external power supply when you connect the corresponding connector.

6.2. TYPICAL OUTPUT POWER – Absolute maximum ratings

AMI is able to provide to the target board a regulated +5VDC power supply. The maximum current that is possible to absorb from the interface is determined by AMI internal circuit and power supply mode:

External power supply: MAX253 maximum power consumption, LM340MP-5 and

LE50ABZ output current limit values like explained hereafter.

6.2.1. AMI Power in:

LM340MP-5 (National Semiconductor) voltage regulator: package SOT-223. Datasheet parameters:

• T

• Thermal shutdown occurs if T

• Input voltage required to maintain line regulation: minimum 7.5V (@T

= 25°C, I

O

<1A) for V

OUT

=+5V and V

IN

=+10V (nominal). So this value cannot be considered valid in general but may vary depending on test situation or sample under test

• The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is a function of the maximum junction temperature for operation (here T

JMAX

= 125°C), the junction-toambient thermal resistance (θ

JA

), and the ambient temperature (T

A

) according to:

P =

DMAX

(

T -T

JMAX A

θ

JA

)

If this dissipation is exceeded, the die temperature will rise above T

JMAX

and the electrical specifications do not apply

• If SOT-223 is used, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance θ

JA

is 174°C/W

• It’s supposed a standard T

A

of 25°C



33


The maximum power dissipation for this component can be therefore calculated under the above mentioned conditions that is P

DMAX

=0.574W. Then maximum output current for different values of VIN can be listed, considering a gain factor g=0.8:

Datasheet parameters:

• T

J

max : 150 °C

• T

A

range : 0

÷70 °C

• The maximum allowable power dissipation is 1W

6.2.2. AMI Power out:

LE50ABZ (STM) fixed positive voltage regulator. Datasheet parameters:

• Output current limit : 150mA min

• T

J

range : -40

÷125 °C

• T

A

range : -40

÷125 °C

• Dropout voltage (@I

O

= 100 mA): typ. 0.2V

Summarizing, output current limit is fixed to 150mA given by LE50ABZ. Above this value, and particularly for external +12V supply, power consumption of LM340MP-5 rises over

PDMAX with a consequent increase of junction temperature even up to TJMAX causing component thermal shutdown; for example if Iout=200mA and Vin=12V, PD=1.12W, 546mW above calculated limit.

PC laptop supplied by battery (+5V [V

CC

] tolerance is ±5%) like worst case for USB

AMI feeding.

Like in the situation explained previously LE50ABZ limits output current value to 150mA.

Above this value output voltage falls down drastically like displayed in Table 6.2 and chart in

Fig. 32 due to “not stabilized” +5V voltage supplied by laptop battery.
