MSP430F5132: MSP430F5132

Part Number: MSP430F5132
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-00121,

Tool/software:

I have referred TIDA 0121  , I would like to configure the Dusk-to-Dawn Operation such that the system automatically switches the load on at dusk and off at dawn, based on ambient light levels, to ensure optimal energy efficiency. The proposed operational sequence is as follows:

  • First 4 Hours: Full brightness (100%) .
  • Mid 4 Hours: Reduced brightness (50%) .
  • Last 4 Hours: Full brightness (100%) .

Kindly advise on how to proceed with this configuration.    Please help

  • Hi Surbhi,

    For your configuration I would recommend the following:

    1. In order to measure the ambient lighting, I would suggest an ambient light sensor (ALS). These usually communicate via I2C, SPI, etc.
    2. For time accuracy (4 hour periods), I would integrate the real time clock (RTC) so you can keep track of the time of day.
    3. For the brightness control, you can utilize pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the brightness of LEDs, for example.

    I would recommend looking through the SDK to see if there are any examples of these peripherals to help assist you incorporate these into your project.

    As always, the datasheet and user's guide should be helpful with the development of your project.

    If you run into any issues and need assistance with an MSP device, feel free to let us know.

    Best,

    Owen

  • . Integration of a Remote Monitoring system (RMS)into the TIDA-00121 reference design, utilizing the MSP430F5132 microcontroller along with a PIR motion control sensor.

    • Remote Monitoring System (RMS): The charge controller should be provided with a communication node with necessary cables and connectors to interface with the charge controller and a monitoring system enable it to monitor the location and status of system online with app as per remote Monitoring System.                                                                                                                                                           REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM The Smart Solar Street Lighting System shall automatically connect directly to the public mobile network via 2G/3G/4G/SG or any latest technology networks for sending data to cloud server or CMS (Central monitoring System) via RMS hardware. The remote monitoring system shall collect and centrally send real-time performance data (including equipment failures) for each Smart SSLS (Solar Street Lighting System). RMS hardware shall be installed in every luminary and shall be capable to generate report for functionality, issues, healthiness, problem status etc. to the RMS Cloud Server with the help of GSM module attached& Network Coverage which shall be updatable OVER THE AIR (OTA) during the contract period. All the communication of RMS device with the controller circuit. RMS must follow Government of India MNRE specifications as applicable. The executing agency shall ensure that the supplied RMS Device should be hackproof and leak proof to avoid the malicious activity or event. The communication nodes shall connect to the charge controller through suitable communication interface and automatically sense and monitor various parameters of the Solar Street Light. The RMS dashboard are as follows:
    • Battery Parameter’s:

    Please guide me for this in same project.

  • Hi Surbhi,

    I'm not exactly sure what your question is, but it seems like what you've provided me tells you exactly how to set this project up.

    It mentions:

    MSP430F5132 microcontroller along with a PIR motion control sensor.
    GSM module attached& Network Coverage which shall be updatable OVER THE AIR (OTA) during the contract period.
    The communication nodes shall connect to the charge controller through suitable communication interface and automatically sense and monitor various parameters of the Solar Street Light

    What do you need guidance on specifically?

    Best,

    Owen

  • actually, i want all this feature in this design, how can i proceed please let me know.

  • Hi Surbhi,

    The reference design contains documentation such as the Bill of Materials, Gerber files for the PCB, and software for the solar street light. This should help you with including the desired features in the design.

    I would recommend looking through the SDK to see if there are any examples of these peripherals to help assist you incorporate these into your project.

    As always, the datasheet and user's guide should be helpful with the development of your project.

    Best,
