Working principle
The core working logic of YOKOGAWA 8596020000 digital I/O module is divided into two core links: digital input acquisition and digital output control. The entire control loop is achieved through cooperation with the upper computer control system.
1. Principle of digital input
When external sensors, buttons, and other input devices generate switch signals, the signals are transmitted to the input channel of the module through a dedicated KS2 cable. The isolation circuit inside the module performs anti-interference processing on the input signal and converts the analog switch signal into a standard digital electrical signal (high/low level). Subsequently, the module transmits the converted digital signal to the upper control system through the internal bus to complete the acquisition of switch status. For different types of input signals, the built-in signal recognition circuit of the module can automatically adapt to ensure the accuracy of the collected data.
2. Principle of digital output
The upper control system generates control instructions based on the preset control logic and transmits them to the YOKOGAWA 8596020000 module through the system bus. After receiving instructions, the module converts digital control signals into electrical signals that can drive external actuators through internal logic processing, and transmits them to relays, solenoid valves, and other devices through output channels to achieve control actions such as start stop and switching of the equipment. For pulse control requirements, the module can accurately generate pulse signals with a set width based on upper level instructions, and achieve precise process control through time proportional output or pulse width control functions. At the same time, the built-in load protection circuit of the module can provide overcurrent and overvoltage protection for the output channel, avoiding damage to the module caused by abnormal loads.
Precautions
1. Installation and wiring safety
-Before installing and wiring the module, it is necessary to confirm that the external circuit is in a power-off state to avoid electric shock accidents or module damage caused by live operation.
-After wiring is completed, it is necessary to ensure that all terminals are securely fastened to prevent signal transmission abnormalities or equipment failures caused by poor contact.
-When used in combination with external current transformers, if the primary side of the transformer is in a powered state, it is strictly prohibited to disconnect the secondary side circuit, otherwise dangerous voltage may be generated; Before disassembling the module, the secondary side of the transformer must be short circuited first.
2. Operating standards for operation
-During the operation of the module, it is strictly prohibited to touch the input/output terminals and plug interfaces to avoid the risk of electric shock.
-When powered on, do not open the module casing or cover to prevent damage to internal circuits or safety accidents.
-It is prohibited to replace terminal plugs or switch relays during operation to avoid circuit short circuits or equipment failures.
3. Parameter matching and maintenance
-During use, it is necessary to strictly follow the rated parameters of the module and not exceed the limits of rated voltage and current to avoid module overload damage.
-Regularly inspect the module wiring terminals, clean the dust and debris at the terminals, and ensure stable signal transmission.
-The user manual for the module should be properly stored near the equipment for easy access by operators and maintenance personnel at any time; The manual should be retained until the module is scrapped.
