Ethernet Module based on ENC28J60

This board utilizes the new Microchip ENC28J60
Stand-Alone Ethernet Controller IC featuring a
host of features to handle most of the network
protocol requirements. The board connects
directly to most microcontrollers with a standard
SPI interface with a transfer speed of up to 20
MHz. This module contains what you need to
enable ethernet on your next microcontroller
project. It includes a ENC28J60 ethernet
controller, an RJ45 socket with link/activity lights
and integrated transformer. This ethernet module
enables you to connect a particular Embedded
device (equipped with SPI support) on to a
network. By using this Ethernet module (along
with a microcontroller running a small TCP/IP stack) applications like Embedded Web server can be
easily developed.

Use this module to enable Ethernet interface for your product. It works with any microcontroller
operating at 3.3V or 5V. This module works at 5V and is compatible with 5V interface lines. Use SPI
process to interface with it. Host web server, ping the module or add it to home automation via
internet. Heart of this module is ENC28J60 Ethernet controller from Microchip. This board is
assembled with all components as shown in the picture.

The circuit board includes all required components for the ethernet controller, plus a 3.3V Voltage
Regulator and a RJ-45 jack with integrated transformer and built-in Link and Activity LEDs for
connection to an Ethernet Local Area Network.

Software
Microchip's TCP-IP stack full featured TCP-IP stack, very easy to configure and use with PIC
microcontrollers. Microchip provides a driver for the ENC28J60 and a TCP/IP stack including an
HTTP web server. Web pages are stored in external or internal eeprom. This firmware is written in
C (Compatible with Microchip C18 compiler).

Download link for TCP/IP Stack

http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/MCHPStackENC8722v302.zip

After downloading TCP/IP Stack use instructions below

• With MPLAB, choose mpnicpg.mcp project to use the internal memory

• Select your device( for example PIC 18F4620) in the MPLAB Configure Menu,
• Change the specified Linker Scripts for your device
• Eventually adjust the pin assignment in enc28j60.c (in the DEFINITIONS section), don't
forget to change TRIS settings too
• Eventually modify builds options to remove dhcp and then remove dhcp.c from the project
and set the IP configuration in stack_task.h
• Change the MPU frequency in the file compiler.h
• Eventually change the SYSTEM LED port in MainDemo.c
• Modify web pages in the webpages directory. Generate the mpfs C file with the mpfs utility
(MPFS directory MPFSImg.c /c )
• It's easy to handle Input/Output microcontroller pins with functions HTTPExecCmd and
HTTPGetVar in MainDemo.c
