Core product features
(1) Full channel isolation design, excellent anti-interference ability
The module adopts module level isolation technology, and the withstand voltage strength between the input signal and the system can reach 2kV AC. It can effectively suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI), electrostatic interference (ESD), and common mode interference in industrial sites. In strong electromagnetic environments such as chemical and electric power, interference signals generated by frequency converters, high-voltage equipment, etc. can be avoided from causing misjudgment of digital signals, ensuring the stability and accuracy of signal acquisition and transmission. At the same time, isolation design can prevent the risk of on-site equipment failure (such as short circuit, overvoltage) from being transmitted to the control system, enhancing the safety of the entire automation system.
(2) High precision data acquisition, stable measurement performance
It has the ability to respond quickly to signals, with a maximum response time of only 40ms, and can capture the on/off changes of on-site contact signals in a timely manner, ensuring fast feedback of the control system to changes in on-site status. The module has a built-in signal anti shake processing mechanism that can effectively filter out instantaneous interference signals such as contact bounce, avoid false triggering caused by contact shake, and improve the stability of signal recognition. In addition, the module has good long-term stability, reducing the cost investment caused by frequent maintenance.
(3) Modular and flexible configuration, adapting to multiple scenarios
Adopting standardized modular design, not only is installation convenient, but it also supports seamless compatibility with other I/O modules of the Centum VP/VX system (such as analog input/output modules, digital output modules), and can be flexibly combined into I/O systems of different scales according to industrial control requirements. The module supports dual redundancy configuration. Through the backup design of redundant modules, when the main module fails, the backup module can quickly switch to work, greatly improving the reliability of the system and suitable for critical control links. The external connection method is flexible, supporting pressure clamp terminals, MIL cables, and dedicated signal lines (such as AKB331) for connection, adapting to different on-site wiring requirements.
(4) Improved protection mechanism significantly enhances reliability
Built in multiple safety mechanisms such as overvoltage protection and overcurrent protection: When the input voltage exceeds the instantaneous maximum allowable value (30.0VDC), the overvoltage protection circuit quickly starts to prevent internal chip damage; When the input current is abnormally high, the overcurrent protection circuit promptly cuts off the circuit to ensure the safety of the module. In addition, the module has a fault self diagnosis function, which can monitor its own working status in real time (such as power failure, communication failure), and upload fault information to the controller, making it easy for operation and maintenance personnel to discover and handle problems in a timely manner. For signal abnormal scenarios, the module supports preset fault output modes to ensure that the system can maintain a safe operating state in the event of a fault.
Function and Working Principle
(1) Core functions
-Digital signal acquisition and conversion: Receive the voltage free contact signal output by the on-site switch equipment, convert it into a standard digital signal recognizable by the controller, and complete the precise conversion of "contact signal digital quantity";
-Signal stabilization and filtering: perform stabilization and interference filtering on the collected raw contact signals, remove contact bounce and external interference signals, and optimize signal quality;
-Data transmission and communication: The processed digital signals are transmitted to the Centum VP/VX controller via Yokogawa Vnet/IP or ESB bus, while supporting bidirectional communication with the controller to receive configuration instructions and fault query instructions;
-Fault diagnosis and alarm: Real time monitoring of the module's own status and input signal status. When a fault is detected (such as power failure, communication failure, signal abnormality), an alarm is immediately triggered and a fault code is uploaded;
-Redundant backup (optional): Supports dual redundancy configuration to achieve real-time monitoring and switching of primary and backup modules, improving the reliability of system operation.
(2) Working principle
1. Signal input stage: The voltage free contact signals output by on-site switch devices (such as limit switches and pressure switches) are connected to the corresponding channel terminals of the module through cables. The module level isolation circuit isolates the input signals from the internal circuits of the module to prevent interference and risk transmission;
2. Signal processing stage: The input contact signal is subjected to anti shake processing and level matching through internal circuits, filtering out instantaneous interference signals caused by contact bounce, and adjusting the signal to a stable digital level state;
3. Signal conversion and judgment stage: The processed signal is sent to the logic judgment circuit, which judges the signal state (ON/OFF) according to the preset threshold and converts it into a standard digital signal;
4. Data processing and transmission stage: The digital signal is verified and processed by the internal microprocessor of the module to ensure the accuracy of the signal, and then transmitted to the Centum VP/VX controller through the system bus; If it is a redundant configuration, the primary and backup modules synchronously transmit data and monitor the working status in real time;
5. State monitoring and feedback stage: The microprocessor monitors the power supply status, communication status, and channel signal status of the module in real time. If any abnormalities are detected (such as power supply abnormalities, communication interruptions, or signal exceeding thresholds), a fault code is immediately generated and uploaded to the controller. At the same time, the preset fault output strategy is executed, and under redundant configuration, the main/backup switch is triggered.
