5Matured Concept of Operations

• NASA Wireless Smart Plug (NWSP) is a proof-of-concept prototype

• Installed in the Deep Space Habitat (DSH) mock-up for testing and evaluation purposes only (not space qualified)

• Used to monitor and control power usage of DSH and its installed equipment

• Monitor current draw from end device, and define actions based on measurement (i.e. wireless communication, manual disconnect, load shedding).

22Functional Block Diagram:Current Sense and Disconnect

23Functional Block Diagram:Nivis VN210 SPI Interfacing

24Internal and External Interface Design Solutions: SPI

Serial Peripheral Interface Bus (SPI) Synchronous serial data link standard Full duplex mode Master/Slave mode where the master device initiates the data frame Multiple slave devices are allowed with individual slave select (chip

select) lines The SPI bus specifies four logic signals:

SCLK: serial clock (output from master) MOSI: master output, slave input (output from master) MISO: master input, slave output (output from slave) SS: slave select (active low, output from master)

25Internal and External Interface Design Solutions: SPI

Advantages•Full duplex communication•Complete protocol flexibility for the bits transferred •Typically lower power requirements due to less circuitry (including pull up resistors)•Slaves use the master's clock, and don't need precision oscillators•Slaves don't need a unique address — unlike I²C or GPIB or SCSI•Transceivers are not needed•Uses only four pins on IC packages, and wires in board layouts or connectors; fewer than parallel

interfaces•At most one unique bus signal per device (chip select); all others are shared•Not limited to any maximum clock speed, enabling potentially high throughput

Disadvantages•No in-band addressing; out-of-band chip select signals are required on shared buses•No hardware flow control by the•No hardware slave acknowledgment•Supports only one master device•No error-checking protocol is defined•Generally prone to noise spikes causing faulty communication•Only handles short distances compared to RS-232, RS-485, or CAN-bus•SPI does not support hot plugging (dynamically adding nodes).
