[0024] The main control module 9 includes an ARM core board 11, an ARM expansion board 12, and a first external interface 13; the main control module 9 pre-processes the original data, and stores the data locally in the form of a file, transmits data through a gigabit network cable, and transmits the original data of the FPGA to ARM, and the result data after ARM processing is sent to the platform; the ARM core board in the main control module receives the platform to send commands to complete the corresponding tasks, and the ARM core board sends commands to the FPGA core board to control the acquisition parameters. The main control module 9 is used for edge computing, screens the original data to extract the maximum and minimum values, checks abnormal data and alarms, and determines whether the data is abnormal according to the alarm threshold.

[0025] The ARM core board 11 is connected to two RS485 signal isolators 35 , two Gigabit Ethernet ports 36 , a wireless WIFI or buletooth Bluetooth 37 , a 4G / 5G module 38 , a CAN interface 39 , and an SPI interface 40 .

[0026] The acquisition module 10 includes an FPGA core board 14, an FPGA expansion board 15, a sensor acquisition circuit expansion board 16 and a second external interface 17; the acquisition module 10 is used to communicate with the main control module 9, and transmits the processed parameters to the main control module 9 by obtaining and setting FPGA parameters; it is also used for data acquisition, including collecting vibration acceleration signals, temperature signals, current mutual inductance signals, noise signals, liquid level signals, voltage signals, escalator's own 485 communication signals, displacement signals, torque signals, and finally transmitting them to the platform through Gigabit Ethernet through ARM to provide real-time data; the acquisition module 10 is also used to process data and set data parameters.

[0027] The WeChat applet based on terminal control operation communicates with the background by linking to the background server, reads data and displays data by setting the parameters of the applet; communicates with the background by setting the relevant parameters of the applet, and sends down the parameters of the collector.

[0028] like Figure 2As shown, a 30-channel ICP vibration acceleration sensor module 18 is controlled and connected to the acquisition module 10 through an 8ICP vibration acceleration module interface 19, four 8-channel AD conversion circuits 20. A 12-channel current transformer detection module 21 is controlled and connected to the acquisition module 10 through a current transformer detection interface 22, three 8-channel AD conversion circuits 23. A 4-channel temperature sensor detection module 24 is controlled and connected to the acquisition module 10 through an infrared temperature sensor detection interface 25, three 8-channel AD conversion circuits 23. A 4-channel external voltage input detection module 26 is controlled and connected to the acquisition module 10 through an external voltage input detection interface 27, three 8-channel AD conversion circuits 23. A 4-channel noise sensor module 28 is controlled and connected to the acquisition module 10 through a noise sensor detection module interface 29, a 4-channel AD conversion circuit 30.

[0030] The temperature signal acquisition process is described in detail below.

[0031] An infrared temperature sensor is used to output a 4-20mA DC current signal. After the device is powered on, the infrared temperature sensor starts working. After receiving the control command from the main control module, the acquisition module synchronously opens the used AD channels, including the infrared sensor acquisition channel. Since the signal output by the infrared sensor is a DC current signal and the sensor itself has a certain driving ability, the current signal is directly converted into a voltage signal through a resistor. At the same time, in order to ensure the accuracy of AD data acquisition, a voltage follower is added after the resistor to improve the driving ability and isolation. The original signal of the infrared sensor passes through the conditioning circuit of the resistor and the voltage follower, and then enters the AD conversion circuit to realize analog-to-digital conversion. After passing through the acquisition module, the data is transmitted to the main control module. After processing the data, the data is transmitted to the background server by wired and wireless methods.

[0032] The following is a detailed description of the vibration acceleration collection process.

[0033] A three-axis acceleration sensor is used, and the output signal is 12V DC and ±8V AC signal. After the device is powered on, the three-axis acceleration sensor starts to work. After receiving the control command from the main control module, the acquisition module synchronously opens the used AD channels, including the three-axis acceleration sensor acquisition channel. Since the output voltage amplitude of the acceleration sensor is large, the signal is first filtered by a high-pass filter, and the voltage is scaled on this basis. A bias circuit is added after the high-pass filter. Since AD ​​cannot read negative voltage, the signal is converted into a positive half-cycle signal. At the same time, in order to ensure the accuracy of AD data acquisition, a voltage follower is added after the bias circuit to improve the driving capability and isolation. After that, the signal enters the AD conversion circuit to realize analog-to-digital conversion. After passing through the acquisition module, the data is transmitted to the main control module. After processing the data, the data is transmitted to the background server using wired and wireless methods.
