Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of information management, and in particular relates to a module configuration method. Background Art

[0002] At present, when configuring the basic information of the module, such as serial number, bus and module type, it is often done manually by entering it into various dedicated systems, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and error-prone. If the module changes during use and the basic information needs to be adjusted, manual modification is also required, and the process is relatively complicated. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention aims to provide a module configuration method, which can realize automatic configuration of basic module information and provide a convenient configuration interface when information is missing and manual configuration is required, thereby facilitating the module configuration process and increasing the flexibility of module information management.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a module configuration method, comprising the steps of:

[0005] S1: After power-on, the first controller queries basic information of all modules, the basic information including serial numbers;

[0006] S2: Each module sends its own basic information to the first controller, and the first controller caches the basic information;

[0007] S3: the second controller queries the first controller for the basic information;

[0008] S4: the first controller sends the cached basic information to the second controller;

[0009] S5: the second controller compares the local module configuration data to determine whether the module has been fully configured, if yes, then the step ends, otherwise, the subsequent steps are continued;

[0010] S6: The second controller pops up a preset configuration interface and prompts the user to configure basic information;

[0011] S7: the user completes the configuration of the module through the configuration interface, and the second controller saves the result of this configuration locally to update the module configuration data;

[0012] S8: the second controller automatically generates a module communication ID and sends the module communication ID to the first controller;

[0013] S9: The first controller forwards the module communication ID and writes it into the corresponding configured module, thereby completing the automatic configuration of the module communication ID.

[0014] As an implementation manner, the basic information further includes: module type information, bus information and the module communication ID.

[0015] As an implementation mode, the configuration interface includes several configuration modules; the configuration modules include one or any combination of a module name configuration module, a serial number configuration module, a module type configuration module and a bus configuration module; after completing the configuration of the module, the corresponding configuration data of the module name configuration module, the serial number configuration module, the module type configuration module and the bus configuration module are associated.

[0016] As an implementation manner, the module name configuration module is provided with a first drop-down box, through which a plurality of pre-stored module names are displayed by pulling down the first drop-down box and a desired module name is selected from the pre-stored module names.

[0017] As an embodiment, the serial number configuration module includes a manual input submodule and a code scanning input submodule; when the serial number exists in the cached basic information, the serial number configuration module directly displays the serial number; when the serial number does not exist in the cached basic information, the user enters the serial number through the manual input submodule or the code scanning input submodule.

[0018] As an implementation mode, the module type configuration module is provided with a second drop-down box; when the module type information exists in the cached basic information, the module type configuration module directly displays the module type information associated with the serial number displayed by the corresponding serial number configuration module; when the module type information does not exist in the cached basic information, a required module type information is selected from several pre-stored module type information through the second drop-down box.

[0019] As an embodiment, the bus configuration module is provided with a third drop-down box; when the bus information exists in the cached basic information, the bus configuration module directly displays the bus information associated with the serial number displayed by the corresponding serial number configuration module; when the bus information does not exist in the cached basic information, a required bus information is selected from several pre-stored bus information through the third drop-down box.

[0020] As an implementation manner, in the step S7, if it is found that there are at least two identical serial numbers or the serial number is missing in the configuration result, an error is reported.

[0021] As an implementation mode, when the step S9 is performed, the second controller polls the first controller to determine whether the module communication ID of each module is successfully written; when the module communication ID writing times out or fails, an error is reported.

[0022] As an implementation manner, the second controller further includes an advanced setting page, and the advanced setting page is provided with a channel for entering the configuration interface.

[0024] In the present invention, the automatic configuration of the basic information of the module is realized through the cooperation of the first controller and the second controller, and when it is determined that the module is not completely missing configuration information and needs manual configuration, a convenient configuration interface is provided, which facilitates the module configuration process, greatly reduces the content that requires manual operation, simplifies the configuration process, and improves the accuracy of the module configuration. The name configuration module is used to configure the module name. The serial number configuration module is used to configure the serial number of the module.
