X-CUBE-PLM1
Power line communication expansion software based on ST7580
for STM32Cube
Data brief
Description
The X-CUBE-PLM1 expansion software package
for STM32Cube runs on STM32 and includes
drivers that allow interfacing a ST7580 power line
networking system-on-chip.
The expansion is built on STM32Cube software
technology to ease portability across different
STM32 microcontrollers.
The software comes with all the drivers needed
to communicate with the ST7580 power line
device on the X-NUCLEO-PLM01A1 expansion
board. After downloading the drivers to a
NUCLEO-F401RE or NUCLEO-L053R8
development board, you can start evaluating the
communication features of the ST7580 using a
DC two-wire link between two boards.
Features
Complete software to drive the ST7580
power line device hosted by X-NUCLEO-
PLM01A1 expansion board
Example firmware available for point-to-point
communication, compatible with
STM32Cube firmware
Easy portability across different MCU
families, thanks to STM32Cube
Sample application to transmit real-time
communication data to a PC
Free, user-friendly license terms
Sample implementation available on
XNUCLEO- PLM01A1 board connected to a
NUCLEO-F401RE or NUCLEO-L053R8
development board

Detailed description
What is STM32Cube?
STMCube™ represents an STMicroelectronics' initiative to make developers’ lives easier
by reducing development effort, time and cost. STM32Cube covers STM32 portfolio.
STM32Cube includes:
The STM32CubeMX, a graphical software configuration tool that allows the generation
of C initialization code using graphical wizards
A comprehensive embedded software platform specific to each series (such as
STM32CubeF4 for the STM32F4 series), which includes:
the STM32Cube HAL embedded abstraction-layer software, ensuring maximized
portability across the STM32 portfolio
a consistent set of middleware components such as RTOS, USB, TCP/IP and
graphics
all embedded software utilities with a full set of examples
How does this software complement STM32Cube?
This software is based on the STM32CubeHAL hardware abstraction layer for the STM32
microcontroller. The package extends STM32Cube by providing a board support package
(BSP) for the sensor expansion board. The drivers abstract low-level details of the
hardware and allow the applications to access sensor data in a hardware-independent
manner.
The package includes a sample application you can use to start experimenting with the
code. As the sample application is designed to enable sensor data logging on a PC, a
Windows PC utility is also included. You can use it to choose between various sensors on
the expansion board and set the appropriate delays or intervals between consecutive data
points. Sensor data can be logged in a user file.
