Wiring-free reconfigurable experimental instrument panel and method supporting digital automatic mapping

Abstract

The invention discloses a non-wired reconfigurable experimental instrument panel and method supporting digital automatic mapping. The panel comprises a base plate, M*N base plate interface with matrixlayouts and F panel function modules. Each base plate interface contains a wireless power supply zone, a wireless communication zone and a fixed sucker. The back of each panel function module is provided with a wireless communication area, a fixed sucker and a wireless power receiving area. The front of each panel function module contains a panel function area. The fixed sucker on the panel function module and the fixed sucker on the base plate interface are mirrored and can attract each other and be aligned with each other, to complete template installation. The base plate wirelessly supplies power to the panel function modules and is in wireless digital communication with the panel function modules. According to the method, various special measurement and control experiment instrument panels can be quickly and reliably constructed, electrical isolation and digital automatic mapping functions can be achieved, and users' operation experience is better.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computer measurement and control, and in particular relates to a reconfigurable experimental instrument panel without wiring and a method for supporting digital automatic mapping. Background technique [0002] In the field of automatic measurement and control technology, it is often necessary to design and manufacture special operating instruments, and the panels of the instruments also need to be newly designed or modified according to specific applications, which takes up considerable manpower, time and funds. In order to speed up the design progress of the instrument panel, you can try to use commercially available standard panels. However, it is difficult for mass-produced panel products to fully meet the requirements of specific instruments such as the layout, number of buttons, and types of instruments, so the operability of the instrument will be deteriorated, and even misoperation may easily occur...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, there are two major problems with this method: First, the virtual panel lacks good physical feedback, and there is a large gap between the operation and the real panel

For example, the elasticity of buttons, the torque of knobs, etc. are difficult to simulate on the virtual panel

Secondly, this kind of virtual panel can only simulate some human-computer interaction components, and cannot add real physical signal input and output interfaces and processing circuits on the panel.

However, most automation instrument panels need to have interfaces with physical signals, so this method still needs to design various input and output interfaces and signal processing circuits for virtual panels, and the development cycle is still long

In addition, the construction of instrument panels often requires complicated signal wiring and mechanical installation processes, which not only makes installation and debugging complicated, but also makes it easy to cause various electrical and mechanical problems.

[0003] Therefore, the present invention proposes a reconfigurable experimental instrument panel that supports digital automatic mapping, which solves the problem of rapid development of various special instrument panels
