For example, any number of aspects described herein may be used to implement the device and / or practice the method. In addition, other structures and / or functionalities other than one or more of the aspects described herein may be used to implement this device and / or practice this method.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a slave capacitance film vacuum gauge readout method and circuit based on EtherCAT bus, including: an excitation signal generating module, a sensor interface module, a current-voltage conversion module, a bandpass filtering module, a precision rectification and filtering module, an analog output interface module, an analog-to-digital conversion module, a control circuit module, an EtherCAT bus module and a power supply module;

[0042] The excitation signal generating module is used to generate a sinusoidal wave excitation signal; the sensor interface module is used to send the excitation signal generated by the excitation signal generating module to the capacitance film vacuum gauge and receive the current signal sent back by the capacitance film vacuum gauge; the current-voltage conversion module is used to convert the current signal sent back by the sensor received by the sensor interface module into a voltage signal and output it; the bandpass filtering module is used to filter out the harmonic components in the output signal of the current-voltage conversion module; the precision rectification and filtering module is used to rectify and filter the voltage signal output by the current-voltage conversion module; the analog-to-digital conversion module is used to perform analog-to-digital conversion on the signal output by the precision rectification and filtering module; the control circuit module is used to receive the signal output by the analog-to-digital conversion module for processing; the EtherCAT bus module is used to convert the signal processed by the control circuit module into an EtherCAT bus data signal and output it to the network interface; the power supply module is used to provide power to each component unit of the entire system.

[0043] The excitation signal generation module is used to generate a sinusoidal excitation signal. The sinusoidal excitation signal generated by this high-precision signal source is sent to the sensor, and the sensor will output a signal containing its own capacitance information. The principle is that capacitors with different capacitance have different capacitive reactances under the same excitation signal, so the signal current after passing through the sensor is related to its capacitance. The signal output by the sensor is converted from current to voltage, and the converted signal is conditioned, and the harmonic components are filtered out and then precisely rectified to obtain a DC signal with an amplitude linearly related to the sensor capacitance. Then, this signal is collected and converted into vacuum degree by a digital-to-analog converter, and sent out by the EtherCAT bus, thus completing the entire detection process. This part of the circuit from the excitation signal to the analog-to-digital conversion mainly realizes the conversion of capacitance to voltage, which is called capacitance-voltage conversion.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the stability of the detection result is directly related to the amplitude stability of the sinusoidal signal used. In view of this, a Wien bridge oscillator circuit including an automatic gain control mechanism is designed to generate a sinusoidal signal to ensure the stability of the excitation signal amplitude. It includes a Wien bridge oscillator circuit, a gain adjustment circuit and a rectifier filter circuit; wherein the Wien bridge oscillator circuit is composed of an operational amplifier and a precision resistor-capacitor circuit, and is used to generate a sinusoidal wave signal; the gain adjustment circuit is composed of a JFET (junction field effect transistor) and a resistor, and the JFET is connected in series in the feedback loop of the Wien bridge oscillator circuit for sinusoidal wave gain adjustment; the rectifier filter circuit is composed of a filter composed of a diode and an active integrator, and is used to rectify and process the signal into a relatively smooth DC signal; the positive pole of the diode is connected to the output end of the Wien bridge oscillator circuit, and the output is connected to the gate of the JFET in the gain adjustment circuit. The circuit is specifically as follows:

[0045] The Wien bridge oscillator circuit is mainly composed of an operational amplifier U 1.1 and by the resistor R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 With capacitor C 1 , C 3 The precision resistor-capacitor circuit is composed of 1 and capacitor C 1 After being connected in series, it is connected in parallel to the operational amplifier U 1.1 Between the same-direction input and output terminals, the resistor R 2 and capacitor C 3 Connect in parallel to the operational amplifier U 1.1 Between the same-direction input terminal and ground, the resistor R 3 Connected in parallel to the operational amplifier U 1.1 Between the inverting input and output of the operational amplifier U 1.1 Through the resistor R4 Connect the gain adjustment circuit;

[0046] The gain adjustment circuit consists of a JFET (junction field effect transistor) and a resistor R 6 , R 7 The resistance R of the Wien bridge oscillator circuit is 4 Series resistance R 6 After grounding, the field effect transistor Q 1 The drain and source are connected in parallel with the resistor R 6 At both ends of the field effect transistor Q 1 The gate is connected through the resistor R 7 Connect the rectifier and filter circuit;

[0047] The rectifier and filter circuit is composed of a diode D 1 , Active Integrator U 1.2 , resistor R 5 And the capacitor C 2 , C 4 The gain adjustment circuit is composed of a resistor R 7 Connect active integrator U 1.2 The output terminal, the capacitor C 4 and resistor R 5 Connected in parallel to the active integrator U 1.2 Between the inverting input and output terminals of the Wien bridge oscillator circuit operational amplifier U 1.1 The output terminal of the diode D 1 The positive pole is connected to the cathode of the diode and the active integrator U 1.2 The inverting input terminal.

[0048] The schematic diagram of the excitation signal generation is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Q 1 The diode in the traditional Wien bridge oscillator solution is replaced by a junction field effect transistor with a zero temperature coefficient, and connected to the feedback circuit as a gain adjustment element. This design can greatly enhance the adaptability of the sinusoidal signal output to ambient temperature changes, thereby achieving higher temperature stability and improving the reliability of the results of the entire detection process. 1 The signal output is sampled and rectified and sent to C 4 , R 5 With operational amplifier U 1.2 The low-pass filter outputs a smooth DC signal to control Q 1 The gate of 1 Series in U 1.1 In the feedback loop, by adjusting Q 1 The gate voltage controls the output signal amplitude and can achieve the purpose of amplitude stabilization. 1.2 The reference voltage VREF The size of R can change the output amplitude of the oscillation circuit. 1 , C 1 , R 2 , C 2 The frequency of the Wien bridge oscillator circuit is determined together, and the capacitive reactance X of the capacitor being measured c It is also related to the excitation signal frequency f, so R 1 , C 1 , R 2 , C 2 Select high-precision and low-temperature drift devices.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the analog output interface module of the embodiment of the present application has one end J 1 Connect C in the precision rectification and filtering module 8 , the other end J 2 Connected to the power ground, used to output 0~10V vacuum degree analog signal.

[0050] Figure 4 As shown, the current-voltage conversion module in the embodiment of the present application is used to convert the current signal into a voltage signal, which is converted by the operational amplifier U 2 , feedback resistor R f 、Zero adjustment resistor PR 1 And the capacitor C X The feedback resistor is connected in series in the feedback loop of the operational amplifier, the center tap of the zero adjustment resistor is connected to the same-direction input terminal of the operational amplifier, and the two ends are connected to +VREF and -VREF respectively; the input terminal of the current-voltage conversion module is connected in series with a capacitor C X Connect to the signal input terminal J in the sensor interface module 2 .

[0051] The basic principle of current-voltage conversion is that the excitation signal is sent to one end of the capacitor to be measured, and the current signal output from the other end is composed of U 2 With R f The current-voltage conversion circuit composed of the above circuits is converted into voltage and then output. x The capacitance to be measured is connected to C x Location.PR 1 It is a zero adjustment potentiometer, used to adjust the output zero point.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, the bandpass filter module of the embodiment of the present application is used to select the frequency of the useful signal and filter out the harmonic components. 1 The feedback network is composed of resistor R 1 , R 2 , R 3And the capacitor C 1 , C 2 The operational amplifier has a common-phase terminal connected to the negative pole of the power supply and a negative-phase terminal connected to the feedback network; the input terminal of the bandpass filter module is connected to the output terminal of the current-voltage conversion module. 1 The same-direction input terminal is grounded, and the reverse input terminal is connected in series with a capacitor C 2 and resistor R 1 Then connect to the output end of the current-voltage conversion module, resistor R 1 and capacitor C 2 Through the resistor R 2 Ground, through capacitor C 1 Connect to amplifier U 1 The output terminal, resistor R 3 Connect to amplifier U 1 between the inverting input and output terminals.

[0053] The voltage signal output by the current-voltage conversion circuit is essentially an amplitude modulated signal. Figure 4 The AM signal output by the circuit contains a large number of harmonic components in addition to the base frequency. In order to make the subsequent processing easier, it is necessary to extract the base frequency component containing useful information. Figure 2 The frequency of the generated excitation signal is known, so we can design a bandpass filter that only allows the known frequency to pass. Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the active bandpass filter used in this design is shown. 1 =C 2 = C, the size of the capacitor C does not affect the gain H (jf 0 ) and quality factor Q, so its capacitance is usually determined by engineering experience, such as the selection range of 10kHz-100kHz frequency is 1000pF-100pF, and C is selected in the present invention. 1 =C 2 =470pF.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, the precision rectification and filtering module of the embodiment of the present application is composed of a buffer, a precision rectification circuit and an RC low-pass filter; the buffer is composed of an operational amplifier U 2.1 The operational amplifier is connected to the output end of the bandpass filter module at the same phase end, and the inverting end is short-circuited with the output end of the operational amplifier; the precision rectifier circuit is composed of an operational amplifier U 2.2 , resistor R 12 , R 13 , R 14 , R 17 And diode D 2 , D3; the operational amplifier U2.2 The inverting input terminal is connected through the resistor R 14 Connect to operational amplifier U 2.1 The output of the operational amplifier U 2.2 The non-inverting input terminal is connected through the resistor R 17 Ground, operational amplifier U 2.2 The output end is connected in series with a diode D 2 As the output end of the precision rectifier circuit, the resistor R 13 and diode D 3 After being connected in series, it is connected in parallel to the operational amplifier U 2.2 Between the inverting input and output terminals, the resistor R 12 Connected in parallel to the operational amplifier U 2.2 The RC low-pass filter is composed of a resistor R 15 With capacitor C 8 Composition, resistance R 15 One end is connected to the output end of the precision rectifier circuit, and the other end is used as the output end of the precision rectifier and filter module and connected to the capacitor C 8 One end is connected and the other end of the capacitor is connected to the power ground.

[0055] The signal output by the active filter is an amplitude modulated signal with the same frequency as the excitation signal, and its amplitude value is related to the capacitance being measured. When the vacuum sensor is working, the vacuum degree of the measured environment changes relatively slowly, and its capacitance also changes relatively slowly. Moreover, the output capacitance is usually a monotonic function within the effective range. Therefore, it is only necessary to extract the amplitude of the amplitude modulated signal. The present invention uses a precision rectifier circuit to complete the extraction of the amplitude signal, such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the input signal first passes through U 2.1 Isolation buffer to eliminate the mutual influence between the previous and next stages as much as possible. 15 With C 8 A low-pass filter is formed to filter the signal output by the rectifier circuit, and the output end will be directly connected to the input end of the ADC acquisition circuit. 15 =1kΩ, C 8 =10uF, select 24-bit AD7732 for analog-to-digital conversion, its input range can reach ±10V, and the ADC acquisition circuit uses the application circuit recommended in the AD7732 manual to meet the needs of this design.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, the analog output interface module has one end J1 connected to C8 in the precision rectification and filtering module, and the other end J2 connected to the power ground, for outputting 0-10V vacuum analog signal.

[0057] like Figure 8As shown, the control circuit module described in the embodiment of the present application is composed of a single-chip microcomputer and its peripheral circuits; the single-chip microcomputer is connected to the IO port of the ADC chip and is used for register initialization configuration of the ADC chip.

[0058] This embodiment uses LAN9252 as the EtherCAT slave controller. The designed EtherCAT slave circuit block diagram is as follows: Figure 8 LAN9252 sets up a slave station by reading the configuration information in the external EEPROM. After the configuration is completed, the microcontroller can communicate with LAN9252 through the SPI serial or parallel mode PD I interface.

[0059] The single chip microcomputer is the core of the entire capacitance film vacuum gauge control part, and it has three main functions: first, it configures the ADC register, completes the hardware layer control of ADC data conversion, and pre-processes the obtained data, such as digital filtering; second, it calculates the collected data, such as parameter fitting and vacuum degree conversion; third, as the control core of the EtherCAT slave station, it uses its own hardware SPI interface module to complete the communication with LAN9252.

[0060] The power supply part provides power for the whole machine, with one DC24V input and three sets of DC3.3V, DC5V, and DC±12V output power.

[0061] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention 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 by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
