The sensor is connected to the microcontroller via a data line; The microcontroller is programmed with an intelligent algorithm program to analyze the data collected by the sensor in real time, identify and predict faults and anomalies in advance, and continuously record strength data to facilitate troubleshooting and maintenance analysis. The microcontroller is connected to the alarm system through a data signal line; When an abnormal situation occurs, the alarm system notifies users and maintenance personnel through LED indicators, buzzers, and SMS emails; Intelligent algorithms within the microcontroller include anomaly detection and fault prediction; Anomaly detection includes: Threshold detection: set the parameter threshold range, and when the parameter exceeds the range, an abnormal alarm is triggered; Trend analysis: Based on the trend of historical data, the weighted moving average algorithm is used to detect abnormal changes in data; Failure prediction includes: Event sequence analysis: Use the ARIMA model to analyze time series data and predict future parameter change trends; Bayesian network: Establish a Bayesian network model of the equipment health status and predict the probability of failure based on the current status and historical data Furthermore, after the microcontroller is powered on, all connected sensors are initialized, the sampling frequency and communication parameters are set, and the microcontroller performs self-tests to ensure that the sensors and communication interfaces are working properly. The microcontroller reads data from each sensor at fixed time intervals, such as 1 second, and temporarily stores the collected data in the microcontroller's memory. A digital filter is used to filter the sensor data to remove noise, and the data from different sensors are normalized to facilitate subsequent comparison and processing. The microcontroller compares the sensor data with the preset threshold. If a parameter exceeds the threshold range, it is marked as abnormal. Based on the moving average of historical data, abnormal changes in data are detected. If the current data deviates too much from the historical average, it is marked as abnormal. The microcontroller uses the ARIMA model to analyze the time series of sensor data, predict possible parameter change trends in the future, and establish a Bayesian network model of the equipment health status to predict the probability of failure based on the current status and historical data. If the probability of failure exceeds the preset threshold, an alarm is triggered; When an abnormality is detected or a fault is predicted, the microcontroller triggers the LED indicator and buzzer through the GPIO port to issue visual and sound alarms.

For example, if a data packet comes from an untrusted IP address, the firewall will reject the packet and log the event. The firewall also tracks the status of legitimate connections to ensure the continuity of legitimate connections; IDS monitors network traffic in real time and analyzes the characteristics and behaviors of data packets. Through signature matching, anomaly detection, and behavior analysis algorithms, IDS can detect potential intrusion behaviors, such as scanning attacks and DDoS attacks. Once suspicious activities are detected, IDS triggers an alarm and passes through IPS. IPS immediately takes action to prevent malicious activities, such as dropping data packets and blocking IP addresses, to ensure system security. The encryption module encrypts sensitive data during transmission and uses advanced encryption algorithms such as AES-256 to ensure that the data is not stolen or tampered with during transmission. At the receiving end, the encryption module decrypts the received encrypted data and restores the original data. The user submits a login request through the user interface, and the authentication module receives the request and verifies the user's identity through multi-factor authentication methods such as password, fingerprint recognition and facial recognition.

The authentication module ensures that only authorized users can access system resources; The logging and auditing module records all security events, including firewall filtering events, intrusion detection alarms, identity authentication events, etc. The log data is stored in a secure storage medium for auditing and analysis. The logs are audited regularly to analyze security events and identify potential security threats and system vulnerabilities. The security protection module can effectively monitor, detect and defend against various network threats to ensure the security and reliability of optical network terminals. Example 4

When the environmental sensor detects that the equipment is overheating, the intelligent control unit immediately adjusts the load to reduce power consumption. When the power consumption monitoring chip detects abnormal power consumption, the intelligent control unit executes an emergency energy-saving strategy to ensure the safety of the equipment, records all power consumption data and environmental data, and stores them in local storage or cloud servers. Generate power consumption reports and energy-saving effect analysis reports regularly for reference by operation and maintenance personnel and managers; The power adapter receives external power and converts it into the voltage required by the device. The voltage regulator further stabilizes the voltage to ensure that the output voltage is within the allowable range of the device. The stabilized power is distributed to each module through the power bus. The protection circuit monitors the power status in real time and detects abnormal conditions such as overvoltage, undervoltage and short circuit. When a power abnormality is detected, the protection circuit quickly cuts off the power supply to prevent damage to the device. After the abnormal condition is resolved, the protection circuit restores the power supply to ensure the normal operation of the device. According to the energy-saving strategy, the intelligent control unit controls the output voltage and current of the power adapter and the voltage regulator. According to the load of the device, the intelligent control unit adjusts the power supply in time to optimize the power consumption. Example 5
