Introduction

Getting Started

Where do you start?

Congratulations. You now have a state-of-the-art MIAC AllCode industrial controller.
This instructional guide has been prepared to help you get up the learning curve as quickly as
possible so you can enjoy making the MIAC do the things you want it to do.

Powering up the MIAC

To Power up the MIAC simply connect a 12V to 24V DC supply to
the 2.1mm DC jack or to the 0V / V+ screw terminals. The green
LED at the top left hand side of the MIAC will light when the unit
is powered.

API UART

The MIAC AllCode has two serial UART peripherals which can be used to connect to the AllCode
API. By default UART 1 is selected which allows access to the internal Bluetooth / WIFI module (if
fitted). The API UART can be controlled using the configuration menu when powering up the MIAC.
The MIAC datasheet shows the UART connections and the internal configuration jumpers to select
between RS232 and RS485 communications modes.

Pairing your Bluetooth enabled device to the MIAC

The Bluetooth enabled MIAC AllCode must be paired to your Bluetooth enabled device to allow
API communications to work correctly. Pages

8

through

13

show how to pair the MIAC AllCode to

various different devices.

Connecting the MIAC AllCode to your WIFI network

The WIFI enabled MIAC AllCode can be connected to your WIFI network by using the configuration
menu when powering up the MIAC. The Network Config setting must be set to Join Network. The
Network SSID setting can then be used to scan for WIFI networks in range. The Password setting
can be used to enter the password for the network.

Hosting a WIFI network from the MIAC

The WIFI enabled MIAC AllCode can be used to host a WIFI network by using the configuration
menu when powering up the MIAC. The Network Config setting must be set to Host Network. The
Network SSID setting can then be used to enter the WIFI network name. The Password setting can
be used to enter the password for the network. The Encryption and Channel settings can be used
to alter the settings of the network.

The Pre-Programmed Firmware

The original API firmware can be found on the AllCode section of the Matrix Website and can be
re-programmed using the mLoader programming tool.
