Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric quantity transmitting output, in particular to a high-reliability combined electric quantity transmitting output device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The transmitter is an instrument which can convert the output voltage and current signal into a direct current signal proportional to the input signal after isolation, and it can reflect the operation state of the generator set and can be operated continuously for a long time, so it is widely used in the electric quantity measurement of the generator set. The transmitter is an important electric measuring instrument in the thermal power plant, and with the improvement of the automation level, the conventional analog electric quantity transmitter is gradually replaced by the intelligent transmitter.

[0003] In the field of steam turbine power generation, the transmitter is usually installed in the transmitter screen cabinet, and the electric quantity transmitters of the generator, the main transformer, the auxiliary transformer, the excitation transformer and the high auxiliary transformer of the same unit are all connected to the same transmitter screen cabinet, and the same screen cabinet contains active, reactive, voltage, current, frequency, power factor and other electric quantity transmitters with different functions.

[0004] The time division multiplier is used to calculate the effective value and power of the alternating current, and it is extremely susceptible to interference. When the line has a transient fault, the power output of the transmitter will produce irregular distorted signals such as distortion, amplification and reverse, which do not conform to the actual power curve, resulting in the imbalance of the steam turbine power load, the misoperation of the protection or the disorder of the valve action, causing the power of the unit to fluctuate sharply or even to trip, causing the primary frequency modulation, AGC abnormal exit and other events, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the generator set.

[0005] In order to overcome the poor anti-interference performance of the traditional analog transmitter, some manufacturers have developed digital transmitters. The specific principle is that the signals of the small CT and PT are discretized into a fixed number of instantaneous sampling values by a high-performance AD converter, and the AC sampling algorithm based on the discrete Fourier transform is used to calculate various electric quantities in the power system, which greatly improves the reliability of the transmitter.

[0006] Although the digital transmitter greatly improves the reliability of the transmitter, the number of analog direct current outputs remains the same as the original design of the traditional transmitter, which generally does not exceed 3. However, using the digital sampling principle can calculate almost all the electric quantities in the electric circuit, and due to the limitation of the maximum number of analog direct current output ports of the transmitter, other specifications of the transmitter need to be repeatedly designed and installed; for example, the active power transmitter can measure all the electric quantities in the electric circuit, but its output port has only 3 at most, in order to output other electric quantities, other specifications of the transmitter need to be redesigned and installed. This will cause design redundancy, the AC circuit wiring is interlaced, the connection wiring between the transmitters is complex, and the application cost is also increased to some extent.

[0007] In view of the problem of insufficient analog DC output ports of digital transmitters, some manufacturers have developed multifunctional intelligent transducer devices. The device usually contains two measurement circuits for measuring two different electrical circuits, and the output port of the intelligent transducer device is generally not less than 20, which fully guarantees the demand of field measurement output. The main advantage is that the secondary circuit design is simple and clear, and the construction difficulty is reduced due to the reduction of intermediate current signal series and voltage signal parallel links.

[0008] Problem one: the multifunctional intelligent transducer device adopts plug-in design, so when a plug-in function fails, it needs to be replaced accordingly.

[0009] As shown in Figure 1 , the AC plug-in is responsible for measuring electrical quantities in the power circuit, the CPU plug-in transmits the electrical quantities measured by the AC plug-in to the AO plug-in, and the AO plug-in outputs the measurement results of the AC plug-in. The AO plug-in usually contains power pulse output and analog DC signal output, and when any one output fails, the AO plug-in needs to be replaced as a whole. Although the power plug-in contains a dual power design, when one of the power supplies fails, the power plug-in needs to be replaced as a whole. This approach increases maintenance costs.

[0010] Problem two: the CPU plug-in and the AC plug-in of the multifunctional intelligent transducer device have no redundancy design.

[0011] Each traditional transducer in the measurement screen has an independent power supply and sampling circuit, so when one of the transducers fails, it will not affect the output of other electrical parameters of the transducer. The introduction of multifunctional intelligent transducer devices simplifies the secondary circuit design, but when the CPU plug-in and the AC plug-in fail, it will be fatal, causing all output ports to be abnormal, and all electrical parameters of the DCS to display bad points.

[0012] Therefore, when participating in DEH thermal control regulation, three independent intelligent transducer devices are still used, and only one output port of each transducer device is used, resulting in waste of other output ports of the intelligent transducer device, loss of the advantage of multiple output functions, difficulty in wiring, and greatly increased use cost.

[0013] Problem three: the AO output plug-in of the multifunctional intelligent transducer device has no clear function for each output port.

[0014] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the conventional transmitter identifies the function of each transmitter in the measurement screen cabinet, the function is single, but specific and simple. The output port of the existing multifunctional intelligent transmission device is identified by numbers, and the specific function of the output port can be pre-set by the manufacturer or set by the user on site. When the specific output line channel function needs to be determined, the corresponding drawings or other information need to be consulted, and the simple and concise function of the traditional transmitter is lost.

[0073] The sampling unit is used for sampling the internal small PT and small CT secondary one-cycle voltage and current signals at a fixed time interval, and sending the AD converted results to the master control unit in the form of DMA.

[0074] The first master control unit is used for buffering the sampling data received by the DMA, calculating the effective value, power and other measurement results by using the AC sampling algorithm, and broadcasting the measurement results to other modules on the bus in the form of broadcast through the communication unit.

[0084] Second display unit for displaying the real-time output current of each channel, and the range and output type of each channel can be set through key operation.

[0085] Specifically, the output module includes a microcontroller (MCU), an RS485 driver, a current loop output unit, and a power supply unit. Figure 6 As shown, it is equipped with 1 power interface, 2 RS485 communication bus interfaces, and 3 analog output interfaces; RS485 communication bus interfaces A and B are connected with the RS485 driver, the MCU controller is connected with the RS485 driver through the USART protocol port, the MCU controller contains the MODBUS-RTU protocol inside, which is used to receive the measurement data broadcast by the two different sampling modules, and when one communication bus interface is abnormal, it does not affect the correct output of the output module. The MCU controller converts the corresponding measurement data into PWM signals with proportional duty cycle according to the output type of the three different output channels, and the current loop output unit drives the current loop chip to output 4-20mA direct current signal after isolation of the PWM signal of the MCU controller. The power supply unit is mainly composed of a BUCK circuit and an isolation power module, the BUCK circuit is responsible for converting the input +24V power supply to +3.3V voltage for the control circuit, and the isolation power module is used to isolate the input +24V power supply to +24V for the power supply of the current loop output unit.

[0086] As an improvement of the above device, the communication module comprises a third master control unit, an RS485 communication unit, an Ethernet communication unit, a third display unit, and a third power supply unit; wherein,

[0087] The third master control unit is used to receive the measurement results broadcast by the sampling module and buffer, exchange messages with the control console through the RS485 bus or Ethernet, and send data to the control console according to the message command of the control console.

[0088] The RS485 communication unit includes two RS485 communication bus interfaces C and D, which are backup communication interfaces, and are used to transmit data to the control console, and when one communication bus interface is abnormal, it does not affect the transmission of data to the control console;

[0089] The Ethernet communication unit includes two Ethernet interfaces E and F, which are backup communication interfaces and use the MODBUS-TCP protocol to send measurement data to the control console.

[0090] The third power supply unit is used to convert the input +24V power supply into a +3.3V control power supply.

[0091] The third display unit is used to display the address, port, and speed information of each communication port, and the address, port, and speed of each communication port can be set by button operation.

[0092] Specifically, the communication module includes a microcontroller (MCU), an RS485 driver, an Ethernet module, and a power supply unit. For example... Figure 7 As shown, it is equipped with one power interface, four RS485 communication bus interfaces, and two Ethernet interfaces. RS485 communication bus interfaces A and B are connected to the RS485 driver, and the MCU controller connects to the RS485 driver via a USART protocol port.

Ethernet interfaces E and F are mutually redundant communication interfaces using the MODBUS-TCP protocol, used to send measurement data to the control console.

[0093] The power module uses dual independent power supplies, so the output of the power module will not be affected when one external power supply fails. The external power output adopts a universal AC form, providing +24V power to power other modules.

[0094] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention uses various module combinations to form a device that meets the final functional requirements, and connects them through an RS485 bus to achieve the function of the extended device.

[0095] The device of this invention has the function of expanding DC output circuits. Since one output module supports three DC outputs, this invention expands the DC output circuits in multiples of three. Unlike existing multi-functional intelligent transmitters, each output module of this invention can be defined as having a fixed output function. For example, the output module responsible for three-phase current output has each output channel fixed to output the effective values ​​of the three-phase currents A, B, and C at the factory, maintaining the advantage of the simplicity of traditional transmitters. Compared to multi-functional intelligent transmitters, the "on-demand allocation" combination of output circuits effectively avoids waste of output circuits.

[0096] The device has the function of sampling module redundancy, since the output module and the communication module both have double RS485 ports, the broadcast measurement data of two sampling modules can be received simultaneously, and when one communication port fails, the data reception of the output module and the communication module is not affected.

[0097] As Figure 8 shown, based on the above system, embodiment 2 of the present application proposes a high-reliability combined electrical quantity transmission output method, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0098] Step 1) After the power module of the device is powered on, each module is initialized and configured to work normally.

[0099] Step 2) The MCU controller of the AC sampling module controls the AD converter to sample the one-cycle voltage and current signals of the internal small PT and small CT secondary at a fixed time interval, the MCU controller buffers the continuous sampling point data, calculates the electrical quantity parameters using the discrete Fourier algorithm, and detects the PT disconnection, CT disconnection and overcurrent state.

[0100] Step 3) The AC sampling module uses the MODBUS-RTU protocol to broadcast measurement data to all modules on the bus through the RS485 communication interface.

[0101] Step 4) All output modules and communication modules receive broadcast messages conforming to the MODBUS-RTU protocol through the A port and the B port of the RS485 communication interface, and buffer 2 sets of measurement data from the A port and the B port respectively.

[0102] Step 5) When the output module is configured in normal mode, the measurement data of the A port is used preferentially, and when the A port communication is wrong, the measurement data of the B port is used.

[0103] Step 6) When the output module is configured in high-reliability mode, if there is no disconnection and overcurrent fault state in the two sets of measurement data, the measurement data of the A port is used preferentially. When there is PT or CT disconnection state in any one set of data, the data set without PT or CT disconnection state is used. When the measurement data of the B port has an overcurrent state, the measurement data of the B port is used.

[0104] Step 7) The output module converts the electrical quantity data into a PWM signal with a linearly changing duty cycle according to the finally used measurement data, controls the current loop chip to output a 4-20mA signal after isolation.

[0105] Step 8) The C port and the D port of the RS485 communication interface of the communication module, and the A port and the B port of the Ethernet monitor the console message information in real time, and when a data request message is received, the measurement data is sent to the console.
