[0002] In industrial control and automation systems, analog input and output devices are an important part of industrial control systems. Various process variables (such as temperature, pressure, flow, etc.) need to be detected and controlled. These process variables are usually analog signals and need to be read and controlled by analog input and output devices.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first port is the input port of the current limiting protection circuit, and the second port is the output port of the current limiting protection circuit.

[0040] At the same time, in the present embodiment, a current detection sensor is formed by the first resistor R24 ​​to measure the current value of the input signal and convert the current signal into a voltage signal. When the measured current value reaches a preset current threshold (the voltage value is about 0.7V), the first transistor Q19 will be turned on; and then the feedback circuit module formed by the first transistor Q19, the second resistor R25 and the third resistor R27 controls the gate of the MOS tube Q8 to discharge through the first transistor Q19, so as to control the gate voltage of the MOS tube Q8 to decrease, and the equivalent resistance between the drain and the source increases, so that the drain current decreases. After the decrease, the voltage of the first resistor R24 ​​will decrease immediately, so that a negative feedback dynamic balance is formed between the first transistor Q19 and the MOS tube Q8, so as to ensure that the system can stably operate below 25mA under different load working conditions, and effectively protect the system and equipment from the influence of overload or short circuit.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first protection device F2 and the second protection device D11 are connected to the input port, and a protection unit is formed by the first protection device F2 and the second protection device D11. The protection unit filters surges and electrostatic pulses generated by external port access, as well as large short-circuit currents. The first protection device F2 is an overcurrent protection part, specifically a fuse. When the current of the circuit exceeds the expected limit, that is, when it is detected that the loop current exceeds the safety range of 0.5A, it will respond and cut off the circuit, cut off the abnormal state in the backflow, so as to prevent damage to the system and equipment. The second protection device D11 is a pulse protection part, specifically a transient suppression diode.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the working principle and effect of the current limiting protection circuit are consistent with those of the above embodiment, except that the first protection device F2 and the second protection device D11 are connected to the output port.

[0045] In another embodiment, the current limiting protection circuit further includes a third protection device C10, which is a second capacitor, one end of the third protection device C10 is connected to the source of the MOS tube Q8, and the other end of the third protection device C10 is connected to the gate of the MOS tube Q8.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the third protection device C10 is specifically a capacitor, which further prevents the pulse voltage at the input end from impacting the source and gate of the MOS tube Q8.

[0047] In another embodiment, the current limiting protection circuit further includes a fourth protection device D10, which is a second diode, one end of which is connected to the source of the MOS tube Q8, and the other end of which is connected to the gate of the MOS tube Q8.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fourth protection device D10 is specifically a diode, which stabilizes the voltage between the source and the gate to be within the safe operating range of the MOS tube Q8.

[0049] In another embodiment, the current limiting protection circuit further includes a first capacitor C9 and a fourth resistor R23, one end of the first capacitor C9 is connected to the source of the MOS tube Q8, and the other end of the first capacitor C9 is connected to one end of the fourth resistor R23; the other end of the fourth resistor R23 is connected to the drain of the MOS tube Q8.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first capacitor C9 and the fourth resistor R23 are used to prevent the pulse voltage at the input end from impacting the source and drain of the MOS tube Q8.

[0051] Working process: When external current flows in through the input port or when current is output through the output port, the first protection device can timely detect whether the current exceeds the safety range of 0.5A, and respond to overcurrent protection according to whether the current exceeds the safety range.

[0052] When the current passes through the first resistor R24, the current detection sensor formed by the first resistor R24 ​​measures the current value of the input signal and converts the current signal into a voltage signal. When the measured current value reaches the preset current threshold, the first transistor Q19 will be turned on, and then the feedback circuit module formed by the first transistor Q19, the second resistor R25 and the third resistor R27 controls the gate of the MOS tube Q8 to discharge through the first transistor Q19, so as to control the gate voltage of the MOS tube Q8 to decrease, increase the equivalent resistance between the drain and the source, and reduce the drain current, thereby achieving the purpose of current limiting output; after the decrease, the voltage of the first resistor R24 ​​will immediately decrease, so that a dynamic balance of negative feedback is formed between the first transistor Q19 and the MOS tube Q8.

[0053] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only the specific implementation method of the utility model and is not used to limit the protection scope of the utility model.
