[0002] Smart sensors are a trend in the current development of sensors. Smart sensors are equipped with microprocessors, and have both signal detection and signal processing. They have the advantages of good reliability and stability, high sensing accuracy, and strong adaptive capabilities. Therefore, smart sensors have become one of the main development directions of sensors.

[0003] Especially in the field of aviation electromechanical and engine control, the accuracy of sensor signals is required to be high, and sensors are greatly affected by environmental stress, installation and sensor technology; the suppliers of sensors and signal acquisition and processing are often not one company and have technical barriers, which often results in the signal not being processed well; at the same time, the transmission distance of sensors and signal acquisition and processing is long, the signal attenuation and noise introduction are large, and more failure modes are brought; various sensors generally have special calibration methods, and it is difficult to effectively calibrate the signal through a unified architecture, or due to process limitations, they do not have calibration functions. Therefore, it is necessary to develop intelligent sensors to solve problems such as poor signal processing accuracy, difficulty in calibration, complex wiring and susceptibility to interference. The current intelligent sensor architecture and variety are various, but they are often specific to specific sensors and buses and are not conducive to promotion. At the same time, their processor functions are single and have poor scalability, which is not conducive to the development and verification of advanced intelligent signal processing algorithms, and it is difficult to form a universal and efficient IP. Many intelligent sensors do not have efficient calibration functions for environmental stresses such as temperature and based on installation and manufacturing processes, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost and process implementation difficulty, and cannot meet the requirements of high-precision, anti-interference, and strong real-time airborne environments.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application provides an intelligent sensor development and verification system adopts the following technical solution:.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent sensor development and verification system includes a sensor, a signal conditioning circuit, a system on chip (SOC) processing system and a distributed communication network interface.

It is used to complete the calibration of signal acquisition data, extract the signal feature data required by the system, send it to the communication protocol layer through the host communication interface when fault monitoring is normal, and report a fault under abnormal circumstances.

[0053] The SoC processing system can be a system on chip with a processor and programmable logic resources, or it can be integrated into the sensor by the SoC bare chip. The SoC system can realize signal A / D acquisition control, construct a local bus to realize the host communication interface of distributed buses such as FlexRay. At the same time, the SoC processor realizes signal acquisition storage, signal calibration and calibration, digital signal processing, BIT and other functions and algorithms. See the SoC processing system architecture diagram Figure 3 .

[0054] The SoC system can realize the signal A / D acquisition control timing through the on-chip PL or GPIO (General Purpose Input Output), can realize accurate and equal time interval high-speed A / D sampling, and store the results in FIFO memory or SoC on-chip RAM, and can perform FIR digital filtering or median filtering, average filtering, etc. as needed to eliminate signal noise, interference, etc.

It is configured for redundant communication and connected to a distributed or general communication network according to the system networking requirements to transmit data of smart sensors to the control system or receive system configuration.

[0056] The smart sensor development and verification system of this application is based on a general architecture and includes the core elements of smart sensors. As a flexibly configurable and expandable platform, it can be used for the core function development of smart sensors, such as various signal processing algorithms and calibration algorithms, various distributed network networking transmissions, etc., and for the system architecture design of smart sensors.

[0057] In one embodiment, the sensor, signal conditioning circuit, SoC processing system and distributed communication network interface can be used as independent components to form a system, or integrated to form a board, smart sensor or chip.

[0058] In one embodiment, the sensor, signal conditioning circuit, SoC processing system and distributed communication network interface are integrated into a smart sensor as required.

[0059] In one embodiment, the function is developed and verified by assembling a system of independent component boards, and then the functions are transplanted and integrated into an independent smart sensor.

[0060] The application also discloses a method for collecting and processing intelligent sensor signals.

[0061] A method for collecting and processing intelligent sensor signals comprises the following steps:

[0062] Step 1: Obtain temperature, displacement, pressure and other signals of the control system through temperature, displacement, pressure and other sensors, and convert them into corresponding electrical signals.

[0063] Step 2: The sensor signal conditioning circuit of the intelligent sensor system applies corresponding excitation to the sensor, such as the supply voltage of the silicon piezoresistive sensor, the primary excitation of the LVDT sensor, etc.; the sensor signal conditioning circuit conditions the electrical signal of the sensor and converts it into a digital signal that can be directly collected by the SoC processing system or performs A / D conversion to convert it into a digital signal and collect it by the SoC processing system.

[0064] Step 3: The signal acquisition timing is controlled by the SoC processing system, and the acquisition results are stored in the programmable logic FIFO or on-chip RAM for digital filtering.

[0065] Step 4: The SoC processing system collects temperature information through the on-chip temperature sensor or external temperature sensor, and calibrates the collected data through algorithms such as temperature compensation and nonlinear calibration. The calibration can be processed in real time with the real-time collected temperature, effectively improving the signal accuracy.

[0066] Step 5: BIT acquisition hardware logic or software algorithm can perform BIT detection on the conditioning circuit, SoC processing system, and communication system.

[0067] Step 6: According to the needs of the control system, the calibrated signal acquisition data can be further extracted from the SoC processing system, such as frequency domain and time domain analysis of the signal, and the BIT detection results can be further processed to determine whether the system is faulty and analyze the cause of the fault.

[0068] Step 7: Implement the host communication interface in the SoC processing system to complete the host control of the distributed network protocol chip or controller.

[0069] Step 8, implement the distributed network protocol and transceiver functions through the distributed network in the smart sensor system, output the data of the smart sensor system, and accept the network configuration of the control system.

[0070] In one embodiment,

[0071] The signal conditioning method of step 2 is: perform corresponding signal conversion, amplification, hardware filtering processing on the signals of Pt200, thermocouple, and silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor, and then send them to A / D acquisition. The signal conditioning method for LVDT is to amplify, filter, rectify, convert to DC effective value voltage and perform A / D acquisition. The frequency signal conditioning method is to filter, shape, convert to square wave, and perform frequency capture.

[0072] The signal acquisition timing of step 3 is implemented by the SoC processing system through its programmable logic or by the SoC processing system through software control of its GPIO, etc.

[0073] Among them, the temperature sensor in step 4 can use the SoC on-chip temperature sensor when the SoC processing system and the control system sensor are in the same location (such as integrated together); when the SoC processing system and the smart sensor are in different locations and their temperatures are not correlated, an external temperature sensor near the smart sensor can be used.

[0074] The temperature compensation and nonlinear calibration algorithms in step 4 are implemented using multivariate linear regression and neural networks. By training the collected data under different standard input temperatures of the sensor, the calibration parameters are embedded into the SoC system. This can complete the calibration of the sensor signal acquisition data in real time, eliminating the acquisition error caused by temperature changes and the acquisition error caused by system nonlinearity.

[0075] The time domain and frequency domain analysis in step 6 is achieved by performing FFT, correlation and other algorithms on the signal to obtain the signal's amplitude, frequency, effective value, spectrum and other characteristics.

[0076] In step 7, the host communication interface is implemented through the peripheral interface of the SoC processing system or through the programmable logic to realize the local bus. For example, the RS-485, CAN and other interfaces are implemented through the SoC peripheral interface, while the FlexRAY protocol chip interface is controlled by the programmable logic to realize the local bus. The TTP protocol chip interface can be controlled by the PCI bus through programmable logic or SoC peripherals.

[0077] In step 8, the distributed network communication protocol is implemented using a dedicated communication protocol chip, or using a peripheral integrated in the SoC processing system. Generally, a redundant design is used to ensure data transmission reliability.

[0078] The SoC system can collect the ambient temperature related to the sensor and conditioning circuit through the on-chip temperature sensor or external sensor, perform temperature compensation on the signal acquisition results in the full temperature range, and realize nonlinear calibration of the full range of signal acquisition through algorithms such as neural networks and multivariate linear regression. The calibrated parameters are embedded in the SoC system, and in the actual signal acquisition, the sensor signal acquisition data can be calibrated in real time to eliminate the acquisition error caused by temperature changes and the acquisition error caused by system nonlinearity. The architecture of the signal calibration design is shown in Figure 5. In the figure, the SoC collects the results of the sensor signal conditioning under the full range and temperature range to form a training data set, and then preprocesses the data set to eliminate redundant data and establish a data element mapping relationship; start neural network modeling, including defining the input and output data of the model, setting the number of input layer nodes, the number of output layer nodes, the number of hidden layers, the number of hidden layer nodes, the number of iterations, the learning rate, the training target accuracy and other neural network structure parameters and training parameters; start data training and obtain neural network parameters; test the obtained neural network, and use another part of the data that does not participate in the training to test whether the accuracy target is achieved, or test calibration through experiments; based on whether the test results meet the system's required accuracy as a criterion, decide whether the neural network parameters need to be adjusted. If the target has been achieved, solidify the model parameters as the calibration parameters of the smart sensor. If the target has not been achieved, continue to adjust the model parameters and re-train and test. The multivariate linear regression algorithm is similar, and the algorithm processing speed can be improved in some cases, which will not be repeated here.

[0079] The intelligent sensor system can perform time domain and frequency domain analysis on the signal acquisition data, and obtain the signal's amplitude, frequency, effective value, spectrum and other characteristics by performing FFT, correlation and other algorithms on the signal. Figure 6 In the process of collecting data for a certain signal, the collected data can be processed by selecting the data length or windowing according to the sampling rate and the accuracy required for processing, and then the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is performed to obtain the signal spectrum, and a specific spectrum or the entire spectrum is output as required; in order to obtain the precise amplitude of the signal at a certain frequency, relevant calculations can be performed at the frequency to obtain the signal amplitude. According to the selected SoC computing power, signal processing algorithms such as wavelet transform and Kalman filtering can also be used for signal processing development and verification.

[0080] In the SoC system, local bus, PCI bus, etc. can be constructed as the host communication interface. External local bus protocol chip can establish distributed network nodes to connect intelligent sensors to the control system. According to the system bandwidth requirements, fault tolerance and reliability, FlexRay, TTP, TTCAN and other buses can be selected. General CAN, RS-485 and other bus protocols can be directly implemented in the SoC system using SoC peripherals or IP. Figure 7 This is the FlexRay distributed network architecture diagram. A local bus is built in the SoC system as the host interface of the FlexRay bus protocol. Through the external FlexRay protocol chip and transceiver as the communication layer, redundant FlexRay nodes can be realized. The communication rate can reach 10Mbps, and time triggering is supported to ensure the high reliability and strong real-time control requirements of the system.

[0081] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
