Some info about the SW that I developed
My sw is free and is here, the Ref.Cod. is: CancScor-F401RE-PLC01A1
Please ask me the password for open the: CancScor-F401RE-PLC01A1
and specify also your: Name, City and Country.
I started my project using the example released for the X-NUCLEO-PLC01A1, the original SW is named: X-CUBE-PLC1
As mentioned above, I used the KEIL compiler (the free version is for up to 32K of exe) and for start the project you must go in this directory:
.....\PLC1_CancScor_v6\Projects\Multi\Examples\DIDO\MDK-ARM\STM32F401RE-Nucleo
and double click on the file:
Project.uvprojx
In my package there is the directory named: Documentation
In this directory you find all the docs concerning the evaboard, the schematics for EAGLE and the Flow Chart.

Name: Sliding gate with guillotine
Note: This SW was tested on NUCLEO-F401RE and compiled using the KEIL v.5.20
Program Size: Code=9226 RO-data=454 RW-data=164 ZI-data=1780
Introduction:
My idea was to implement a system which locks the gate when it is closed.
For to do that I used the window motor mechanical of the Audi.
Thank Politecnica 80 I received a complete system that I modified as shown below.
3 and 5 are the limit switches
4 and 6 are the mechanical limit switches
See my mechanical movement (video).

Video n.2
NOTE:
I have another problem, I have two electric gates, one is sliding gate and the other is swing gate.
I decided to change the swing gate and make it similar to a sliding gate adding the two electric limit switch (see below).
In this way I developed a unique HW/SW for both gates.
FCA is the open limit switch, normally closed (NC)
FCC is the close limit switch, normally closed (NC)
At conclusion:

Introduction:
The idea
for this project came from the need to put safely my electric gate when
it's close.
My gate is a swing gate that change the inclination from winter to summer.
See picture below, red and green lines indicate the inclination of the gate between the summer and winter.
The angle between summer and winter exceeds 2 cm. For this reason is not possible use a electric lock to secure the gate.

NOTE:
Alternatively
you could also use a DC Linear Actuator.

At conclusion:
After
several excavations (for install the two limit switch, FCA and FCC),
mechanical and electronics works, now
I have a swing gate that use two limit switch to stop the open and
close movement and a guillotine (car window motor) to put safely my
electric gate when it's closed.
NOTE:
I
used a mechanical
piston for electric
gate because it guarantees a
strong closing of the gate.
The oil-hydraulic pistons for electric gate normally tend to lose pressure when are in stop mode for a long time, this do not guarantee a robust closure.

NUCLEO-F401RE
X-NUCLEO-PLC01A1 (PLC1 InPut/OutPut)
The decision to use the X-NUCLEO-PLC01A1 was dictated by the fact that the I/O are electrically isolated from the MCU board and working at 24Vdc.
In addition, the I/O are protected from: electric discharge, short circuit, etc.
The schematic is shown below, to enlarge it click on the schematic.
The kit installed is shown below.

IMPORTANT NOTEs:
- For use this electronic without the guillotine
connect to +24Vcc the: FCC_GHI and FCA_GHI.
With the above connections, can use this electronic for a normal sliding gate.
- Flashing Lamp very slow (about 1 sec) indicates
that the gate is locked because the guillotine has exceeded 30 seconds
of work.
To unlock the gate, turn OFF and turn ON the electronics of the gate. - All the limit switch are NC.
- The part of schematics in the red box is not
implemented in this SW release.
