Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of subway terminal equipment, and in particular to a standardized IO board for an AFC equipment terminal used in a subway. Background Art

[0002] The subway system is a complex system. Although each terminal device is designed based on the same general design concept, due to the complexity of the system, many professional terminal devices need to be delivered to different professional manufacturers for production. Although unified specifications and standards are implemented, these standards can only standardize some large and key indicators and cannot cover every detail. As a result, compatibility issues will still arise.

[0003] Among them, in AFC professional terminal equipment, different line integrators and equipment suppliers lead to a wide variety of terminal equipment and different IO boards of the equipment.

[0004] During the process of standardized software adaptation, it was found that software adaptation was relatively difficult and a corresponding driver package needed to be made, which increased the difficulty of development work, increased the occupation of industrial computer system resources by standard software, reduced software operation efficiency, and reduced the compatibility of standardized software.

[0005] For these reasons, the AFC equipment terminal needs to be adapted and modified to a certain extent, among which the IO board is one of the most critical components, and the desire for its standardized transformation is the most urgent.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technical solution. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the prior art and thus provide a device with better adaptability, reduced coupling of system architecture, easier fault information search, and improved overall stability and security of terminal equipment.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a standardized IO board for an AFC equipment terminal for a subway, comprising a processor module and a power circuit module, a communication circuit module, a card swiping indicator light control circuit module, a maintenance door switch detection circuit module, a child detection sensor circuit module, an emergency control feedback circuit module, an alarm module and a plurality of reserved isolation switch input and output modules, all of which are connected to the processor module; The communication circuit module is provided with a standard input and output interface for receiving and sending instructions to an upstream industrial computer, and for sending instructions and receiving feedback signals to a downstream controlled device; The card swiping indicator light control circuit module is provided with a corresponding standard interface for connecting to the card swiping module of the terminal to collect the card swiping information and feed it back to the processor module, and control the indicator light to change color; The maintenance door switch detection circuit module is provided with a corresponding standard interface for connecting to the maintenance door switch module of the terminal and collecting switch status information; The child detection sensor circuit module is provided with a corresponding standard interface for connecting to the diffuse reflection sensor module of the terminal and collecting corresponding status information; The emergency control feedback circuit module is provided with a corresponding standard interface for connecting to the emergency control module of the terminal and collecting feedback information; The alarm module is provided with a corresponding standard interface for connecting to the alarm device on the terminal device and outputting an alarm instruction; The reserved isolation switch quantity input and output module is provided with at least three different types of isolation switch quantity input and output circuits and corresponding input and output standard interfaces for expansion; The power circuit module cooperates with the processor module to supply power to each module.

[0009] Based on the above, the standard interface includes a plurality of different types of interfaces arranged in parallel.

[0010] Based on the above, the standard interfaces of the same module are stacked in the vertical direction.

[0011] Based on the above, the reserved isolation switch quantity input and output module includes one isolation switch quantity output circuit, two isolation switch quantity input circuits, four isolation switch quantity output circuits, five isolation switch quantity inputs and eight isolation switch quantity output circuits.

[0012] Based on the above, the alarm module and the maintenance door switch detection circuit module are both isolation switch input / output modules.

[0013] Based on the above, the model of the processor module is the microcontroller STC8A8K64SA12.

[0014] Based on the above, the communication circuit module and the upstream industrial computer use the RS-232 interface protocol.

[0015] Based on the above, an interface adapter is also configured, and the interface adapter includes pin terminals and other types of connection terminals.

[0016] The present invention has outstanding substantive features and significant progress compared to the prior art. Specifically, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. As an expansion unit for the input and output of the industrial computer, the standardized IO board is mainly responsible for collecting the status of the module's arrival signal, door magnetic switch signal, sensor signal and other signals, and then controlling the pass indicator light, status indicator light, etc. It plays the role of relay conversion. Among them, each functional module sets a standard interface, which can be connected to the specific devices at different equipment ends and obtain signals. The universal logic chip is used to complete the protocol conversion, realize data collection and command control compatible with all lines, and communicate with the industrial computer with a unified interface protocol. It reduces the coupling of the system architecture, clarifies the system design interface, facilitates fault information search, and improves the overall stability and security of the terminal equipment.

[0017] 2. The designed standard interface adopts multiple different types of interfaces arranged in parallel, which can achieve adaptive connection with downstream devices and solve the defect that traditional IO boards are difficult to interconnect.

[0018] 3. Except for some special function modules that require special circuits for dedicated processing, the main function modules are configured according to the circuit mode of isolated switch input / output, and a certain amount of switch input / output circuits are reserved for backup, so that most signal transmission can be output through the switch input / output circuit mode, which improves the consistency of signal processing. Moreover, since the designed switch input / output circuits are based on the same standard, the signal consistency is stronger and the stability is guaranteed.

[0019] 4. Integrate the existing functional module types of the line network and the pre-developed functional modules of the later lines on a unified IO board to complete the functional integration of the IO board, avoid the parallel use of a large number of different IO boards, and improve safety.

[0020] 5. Since the processor module is integrated in the IO board, the collected protocol signals can be uniformly converted before communicating with the upstream industrial computer. The protocol content can be changed according to the use of on-site equipment. The basic data consists of packet header, data bit, check bit, etc., so that the industrial computer does not need to build in too many communication protocols to identify different functional modules, reducing the working pressure of the upstream industrial computer and improving efficiency.

In addition to the necessary main modules, a variety of switch quantity isolation circuits of different types are reserved.
