[0100] S230. Monitor the status of the conditioning signal in real time and dynamically adjust the parameters of the circuit, such as the filter and capacitor. Specifically:

[0101] In step S230, the control unit continuously monitors the input signal. (t) and The dynamic changes of (t) are monitored, and the parameters of components such as filters and capacitors in the conditioning circuit are adjusted in real time to ensure that the signal remains stable under changing input conditions.

[0102] Specifically, the control unit calculates the rate of change of the conditioning parameters. Where X represents circuit component parameters (such as filter frequency) The capacitance value (C) is used. The conditioning circuit adjusts the capacitance value in real time according to the following formula:

[0107] Current data for stage S130 The S210 stage is used for impedance measurement and correction to ensure the matching of current load and impedance during subsequent signal conditioning.

[0108] The conditioning results in S220 and The signal is transmitted to stage S230, whereby the control unit dynamically adjusts the component parameters of the conditioning circuit to ensure the accuracy of the signal output.

[0109] Step S300 includes at least steps S310-S330:

[0110] S310. The input signal is isolated by the opto-isolation unit. Specifically:

[0111] In step S310, the signal isolation module first isolates the input signal using an opto-isolation unit. This step is based on the signal type (high-voltage signal, analog signal, switch signal) obtained from the signal input detection stage in S210. The opto-isolation unit electrically isolates the input signal from subsequent circuits through optocouplers, ensuring that no interference or crosstalk occurs between different signals.

Figure 8 As shown, this module primarily implements signal isolation for three types of switch signals: 28V / ground, 28V / on, and on / ground. The input signals for 28V / ground, 28V / on, and on / ground correspond to independently isolated 5V / 0V output signals, using opto-isolation. A single module contains a total of 32 channels, with 20 channels supporting opto-isolation for both 28V / ground and 28V / on signals, and 12 channels supporting opto-isolation for all three signals. The panel is equipped with DIP switches, a 37-pin signal input interface, and a 37-hole signal output interface. When the DIP switches are in the off position, opto-isolation of 28V / ground and 28V / on signals is achieved; when the DIP switches are in the ON position, opto-isolation of on / ground signals is achieved.

Figure 11As shown, optocouplers are mainly used for front-to-back stage isolation. When the input signal is 28V / ground / 28V / open circuit, the output voltage is 5V / 0V. When the input signal is open / ground, pressing the DIP switch to ON connects 12V to the input terminal. When the input signal is open circuit, the output is 5V high level; when the input signal is ground, the output is 0V low level. The required 12V and 5V voltages are provided by the power supply module through board connectors. The excitation voltage output module includes 10 channels of 10V excitation voltage output, 4 channels of 5V excitation voltage output, and 2 channels of 12V excitation voltage output.
