[0030] Reference Figure 1, shows a principle block diagram of a detection control circuit in an embodiment of the present invention. It is used to detect whether the brake resistor is working normally, including: a main control module 100, a voltage follower module 200 and an input panel control module 400, the main control module 100 is connected to the voltage follower module 200;

[0031] The main control module 100 is used to send detection signals and receive feedback signals;

[0032] When the braking resistor operates normally, the voltage follower module 200 outputs a feedback signal with the same period as the detection signal;

[0033] When the braking resistor does not work properly, the voltage follower module outputs a constant level signal of a preset amplitude.

[0034] The main control module detects the feedback signal to determine whether the brake resistor is working normally, which improves the safety of the system. The main control module can also adjust the duty cycle of the detection signal and the power used by the brake resistor.

[0035] The output end of the input panel control module 400 is connected to the input end of the main control module. The main control module 100 obtains the enable signal of the brake resistor through the input panel control module 400 and starts to send the detection signal. The main control module 100 receives the adjustment instruction through the input panel control module 400 and adjusts the duty cycle of the detection signal.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , shows a principle block diagram of another detection control circuit in an embodiment of the present invention; it also includes an isolation module 300, the input end of the isolation module 300 is connected to the output end of the main control module 100, and the output end of the isolation module 300 is connected to the input end of the voltage follower module 200. The isolation module 300 improves the anti-interference ability of the circuit.

[0037] Reference Figure 3, shows a circuit schematic diagram of a detection control circuit in an embodiment of the present invention, the voltage follower module 200 includes: a first photocoupler U1, a first NMOS tube pull-up resistor R1, an excitation power supply VCC, a first diode D1, a second diode D2 and a pull-up power supply VDD, the gate of the first NMOS tube Q1 is connected to the output end of the isolation module 300, the source of the first NMOS tube Q1 is grounded, the braking resistor R is connected between the drain of the first NMOS tube Q1 and the excitation power supply VCC, the first pin of the first photocoupler U1 is grounded, the second pin of the first photocoupler U1 is connected to the drain of the first NMOS tube Q1, the third pin of the first photocoupler U1 is connected to the input end of the main control module, the fourth pin of the first photocoupler U1 is grounded, the pull-up resistor R is connected between the pull-up power supply VDD and the third pin of the first photocoupler U1, the anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the drain of the first NMOS tube Q1, the cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the excitation power supply VCC, and the first diode D1 is connected in parallel with the second diode D2.

[0038] The isolation module 300 includes a second photocoupler U2 and a second transistor Q2, the base of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the detection signal, the emitter of the second transistor Q2 is grounded, the collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the third pin of the second photocoupler U2, and the fifth pin of the second photocoupler U5 is connected to the input end of the voltage follower module 200.

[0039] The detection signal sends a square wave signal with a preset duty cycle, such as Figure 4 As shown, the signal period is 500us, the duty cycle is 30%, and the brake resistor R is in normal working condition. When the detection signal is at a high level, the second transistor Q2 is turned on, the second photocoupler U2 is turned on, and the drain end current of the first NMOS tube Q1 will flow to the power ground through the drain-source path. No current passes through the first photocoupler U1, and the feedback signal is pulled to a high level by the pull-up resistor R1.

[0040] When the detection signal is at a low level, the second transistor Q2 is turned off, the second photocoupler U2 is turned off, the first NMOS transistor Q1 is turned off, the first photocoupler U1 is turned on, and the first photocoupler U1 outputs a low level.

[0041] Therefore, when the brake resistor is working normally, the feedback signal is a signal with the same period as the detection signal, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0042] When the brake resistor R is disconnected, no current flows through the voltage follower module 300 , and the detection signal is pulled up to the pull-up voltage VDD by the pull-up resistor R1 .

[0043] In another embodiment, a control panel is also included, and the control panel is used to receive an enable signal of the braking resistor. After receiving the enable signal, the main control module sends a detection signal to the voltage follower module.

[0044] In addition, the control panel is used to receive the modulation signal, to adjust the period, amplitude or duty cycle of the detection signal, and to adjust the power of the brake resistor. Through the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to detect whether the brake resistor is working properly and adjust the working power of the brake resistor to achieve a better braking effect.

[0045] The working status of the brake resistor can be effectively detected by detecting the control circuit to ensure the safe use of the circuit.

[0046] The present invention also includes a servo motor driver, comprising the above detection control circuit.

[0047] The present invention also includes a servo motor, comprising the above-mentioned servo motor driver.

[0050] Get the detection signal setting information, get the detection signal amplitude, period, duty cycle and other information,

[0051] Sending the detection signal to a voltage follower module;

[0052] The feedback signal is received to determine whether the braking resistor is working normally. If the feedback signal and the detection signal are signals with the same period and the same waveform change trend, the braking resistor is working normally.

[0053] In another embodiment, if the braking resistor does not work properly, an alarm is issued.

[0054] The above method can effectively determine whether the braking resistor is working normally, thereby improving the safety of the system.

[0055] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
