Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clock synchronization technology, and more specifically, to a telemetry expansion method and an inter-board synchronous acquisition circuit. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of railway power supply monitoring, the number of load circuits requiring monitoring is increasing. When the telemetry capacity of a single railway power RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) cannot meet the needs of field engineering applications, the telemetry capacity is typically expanded by increasing the number of railway power RTUs. The advantage of this solution is that it eliminates the need for redeveloping hardware. However, this solution suffers from several drawbacks: high hardware costs, inflexible configuration, large space requirements, and the inability to achieve synchronous telemetry sampling. Furthermore, upgrading existing railway power RTUs to expand telemetry capacity requires both hardware and software upgrades, resulting in a lengthy development period.

[0003] Furthermore, capacity expansion is achieved by increasing the chassis height and superimposing a telemetry acquisition circuit board on the existing circuit board. The MCU on the existing circuit board manages the ADC chip on the telemetry acquisition circuit board via an SPI serial communication interface, configuring its registers and reading data. While this method saves the hardware cost of one controller chip by sharing a single MCU with the existing circuit board, the ADC chips on the two circuit boards are still unable to achieve synchronous sampling because they are managed by two separate SPI serial communication interfaces of the MCU. Additionally, the SPI serial communication signal between the two circuit boards is affected by the single-ended signal transmission via cable, impacting both transmission rate and communication reliability.

[0066] Optional, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the first circuit board further includes a first PT / CT current transformer and a first signal conditioning circuit; the first PT / CT current transformer is electrically connected to the first analog-to-digital converter circuit through the first signal conditioning circuit.

[0068] Optionally, the first analog-to-digital conversion circuit includes at least one first analog-to-digital converter (ADC); the second ADC circuit includes at least one second ADC; when there is more than one first ADC, each first ADC operates in daisy-chain mode; when there is more than one second ADC, each second ADC operates in daisy-chain mode. When the first and second ADCs operate in daisy-chain mode, multiple ADCs can perform synchronous sampling, reducing the controller's control signal usage, simplifying register configuration and data reading processes for the ADCs, and reducing PCB routing complexity.

[0069] The principle of achieving synchronous sampling of ADC is as follows:

[0070] The first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit on the first circuit board and the second ADC circuit on the second circuit board each consist of at least one ADC chip. When there is more than one ADC chip on the same circuit board, the ADC chips share the same clock chip and operate in daisy-chain mode. The communication interface of the ADC chips is a serial SPI interface. The clock chip on the first circuit board outputs a stable fixed-frequency clock signal, providing a unified clock source for the ADC chips on the first circuit board. At the same time, it transmits the clock signal to circuit board 2, providing it to the ADC chips on the second circuit board.

[0071] The ADC chips on the first and second circuit boards share a single START control signal.

[0072] Specifically, the process of configuring registers and reading data from the ADC chips on the first and second circuit boards is as follows:

[0073] (1) On the first circuit board, the MCU’s SPI-1 serial communication interface works in SPI master mode to realize register configuration and data reading operations of the ADC chip on the board;

[0074] (2) On the first circuit board, the MCU’s SPI-1 serial communication interface works in SPI master mode to realize the register configuration operation of the ADC chip on the second circuit board.

[0075] (3) On the first circuit board, the MCU’s SPI-2 serial communication interface works in SPI slave mode to realize the data reading operation of the ADC chip on the second circuit board.

[0076] (4) When the ADC chips on the first circuit board and the second circuit board complete one sampling and conversion, they will generate DRDY1 and DRDY2 signals at the same time. After passing through an OR gate on the first circuit board, the two signals are sent to the interrupt INT pin of the MCU. After the MCU detects the interrupt signal, the MCU enables the DMA read function of SPI-1 and SPI-2. SPI-1 of the MCU completes the sampling and conversion data reading operation of the ADC chip on the first circuit board, and SPI-2 of the MCU completes the sampling and conversion data reading operation of the ADC chip on the second circuit board.

[0077] When the SPI master reads data from the slave, it samples and captures the MISO (Master Input Slave Output) input data signal based on the SCK clock signal generated by the master; as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 In this case, the clock feedback path synchronization principle is not adopted. Assuming that the transmission path delay of the SPI signal within the board is T0 and the transmission path delay outside the board is Td, when the SPI master reads the slave data, the delay of the MISO data signal on the SPI master side relative to the SCK clock signal is (T0+2Td). When this delay exceeds 1 / 2 of the SPI bus SCK clock cycle, it will cause the SPI master to make an error when reading the slave data. In order to improve the SPI serial communication distance, communication rate, reliability and anti-interference between the first board and the second board, the SPI serial single-ended signal is converted into an LVDS differential signal within the board and then transmitted between the boards using an LVDS chip.

[0078] As attached Figure 4In this design, the clock feedback path synchronization principle is as follows: the SPI-1 serial communication interface on the MCU side operates in master mode, and the SPI-2 serial communication interface on the MCU side operates in slave mode. When the master (MCU) reads data from the slave (ADC chip), the SPI-1 serial communication interface only generates the SCK1 clock signal for the read operation. This SCK1 clock signal loops back to the master side through the transmission path between the first and second circuit boards on the slave side and is sent to the SCK2 clock signal pin of the SPI-2 serial communication interface on the master side. At this time, the time delay of the slave data output signal SOMI transmitted to the MISO2 data signal pin of the SPI-2 serial communication interface on the master side is (T0+2Td), which avoids the problem of data reading errors caused by the asynchronous clock signal and data input signal of the SPI bus due to signal delay in the transmission path.

[0079] This invention achieves synchronization of the clock feedback path between telemetry expansion and the expanded circuit board, avoiding the problem of data reading errors caused by the asynchronous clock signal and data input signal of the SPI bus due to signal delay in the transmission path.
