[0016] Figure 2 The present application is a wiring diagram. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The present system comprises a signal acquisition circuit, a control circuit, a host computer, an electric energy meter, a switching circuit, a virtual load power supply, a voltage loss instrument and a terminal box.
[0018] The acquisition circuit is used for acquiring signals, and the control circuit is used for controlling the switching state of the switching circuit; in the present embodiment, the acquisition circuit and the control circuit are composed of PLC.
[0019] In the present embodiment, the host computer is a PC computer.
[0020] Figure 2For the wiring diagram of the present application, the voltage loss instrument is used to simulate the load in the field operation, the virtual load power supply supplies power for the voltage loss instrument through the junction box, and the voltage loss instrument is externally connected with an auxiliary power supply, and the communication can still be normally operated when the three-phase voltage is lost. The electric energy meter is connected with the junction box, and is used to simulate the electric meter in the field operation. The connection between the electric energy meter, the junction box, the virtual load power supply and the voltage loss instrument is consistent with that in the normal operation in the field, and at this time, the normal loop state is formed.
[0021] The switching loop is added between the electric energy meter and the junction box, the connection between the electric energy meter and the junction box can be disconnected through the switching loop, the electric energy meter is connected with the PLC, the signal of the electric energy meter is collected by the PLC, and at this time, the collection loop state is formed. The switching loop is specifically a switching relay, and the switching relay is controlled by the output relay of the PLC. The connection between the electric energy meter and the PLC is that the current loop connection is directly collected by the PLC input signal, and the voltage loop needs to pass through resistance voltage division and be converted into a 0-5V voltage signal which is collected by the PLC analog quantity.
[0022] The magnetic control switch is also mounted on the junction box, the signal of the magnetic control switch is connected to the PLC, and the opening and closing signals of the junction box can be transmitted to the PLC.
[0023] The PC computer is connected with the PLC, the electric energy meter, the virtual load power supply and the voltage loss instrument in 485 communication.
[0024] As shown in Figure 1 the module block diagram of the present application, the switching loop is formed between the electric energy meter and the junction box, the command is sent to the PLC by the PC computer, the PLC controls the switching operation of the switching loop, the switching between the normal loop and the collection loop is completed, when the normal loop is switched, the voltage loss instrument is connected in series to the loop, and the voltage is connected in parallel to the loop, the real-time collection of the loop voltage and current data is realized, the data is transmitted to the PC computer through 485, and the PC computer judges whether the connection is correct according to the voltage and current data. For example, when the UA voltage is 0, it is obvious that the voltage line is connected in error. When the collection loop is switched, the current loop connection of the electric energy meter is directly collected by the PLC input signal, the voltage loop needs to pass through resistance voltage division and be converted into a 0-5V voltage signal which is collected by the PLC analog quantity, and finally, the signal collected by the PLC is sent into the PC computer.
[0025] System control process:
[0026] S1: The examinee opens the junction box, at this time, the opening signal of the junction box is transmitted into the computer through the magnetic control switch and the PLC in turn, and the formal examination process is started.
[0027] S2: In the process of connection, the examinee firstly shorts the current connection piece, and shorts the connection piece in the order of ABC.
[0028] Then disconnect the voltage connection piece, also in accordance with the ABC sequence disconnect the connection piece.
[0029] In this operation process, whether the order is correct, there is no other error, through the electric energy meter, pressure loss instrument, virtual load power supply to the PC computer signal to judge.
[0030] For example: when the electric energy meter A phase voltage loss, voltage loss instrument acquisition voltage normal, virtual load power normal output, then it shows that the A phase voltage connection piece is disconnected; if the electric energy meter A phase voltage loss, voltage loss instrument A phase voltage loss, virtual load power loop short circuit fault and closed output, then it shows that the voltage short circuit fault occurs. PC computer continuously cycle collection electric energy meter and voltage loss instrument data, when the operation error is judged, the software in the PC computer will be recorded.
[0031] S3: the examinee covers the terminal box, at this time the terminal box off signal through the magnetic control switch, PLC into the computer.
[0032] S4: the examinee opens the electric energy meter tail cover, at this time the electric energy meter sends signal to the PC computer, the PC computer sends instruction to the PLC, the PLC controls the switching circuit to switch the circuit, so that the electric energy meter is disconnected with the terminal box, but connected with the PLC, that is, switched to the acquisition circuit.
[0033] S5: after opening the electric energy meter tail cover, the wire is removed, the specific processing method is voltage line first, then current line, first in line, then out of line, first phase line and then zero line.
[0034] In the process of removing the wire, the PLC sends the PLC open signal and PLC analog quantity information to the PC computer, and the electric energy meter also sends the current and voltage information to the PC computer. By comprehensively judging these information, the specific wire removal information is obtained, which is used to judge whether the wire removal order of the examinee is correct.
[0035] For example: the electric energy meter acquires A phase current signal disappearance, and the voltage loss instrument A phase current is normal, which indicates that the current short circuit A item is correct. If the electric energy meter acquires A phase current signal disappearance, and the voltage loss instrument A phase current disappears, the virtual load occurs alarm, the current is open circuit, and the power is automatically closed. Then it shows that an error occurs, and the software in the PC computer will be recorded.
[0036] S6: install new electric meter, and connect the tail in the opposite order when removing the wire. The judgment process is the same as above.
[0037] S7: cover the tail cover of the new electric meter, and the electric energy meter switches back to the terminal box.
[0038] S8: open the terminal box again, restore the connection of the terminal box, and the judgment process is the same as above.
[0039] S9: close the terminal box, the examination is over, and the scoring begins.
