[0053] Example 1

[0054] As attached Figure 1 As shown, embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a triple redundant analog input self-diagnosis method, comprising the following steps:

[0055] S1. The first analog input module obtains a first input voltage UB based on a sampling circuit, the second analog input module obtains a second input voltage UC based on a sampling circuit, and the third analog input module obtains a third input voltage UA based on a sampling circuit.

[0056] The first analog quantity input module, the second analog quantity input module and the third analog quantity input module interact with each other in input values ​​through the bus, so that each analog quantity input module obtains three input values.

[0057] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, the sampling circuit comprises: a first resistor and a second resistor connected in series, wherein the first resistor and the second resistor have equal resistance values.

[0058] The first analog input module obtains a first input voltage UB based on the first resistor, the second analog input module obtains a second input voltage UC based on the second resistor, and the third analog input module obtains a third input voltage UA based on the first and second resistors.

[0059] Specifically, the first analog input module obtains the input voltage UB based on the first resistor, and obtains the second input voltage UC and the third input voltage UA through the bus; the second analog input module obtains the input voltage UC based on the second resistor, and obtains the first input voltage UB and the third input voltage UA through the bus; the third analog input module obtains the input voltage UA based on the first and second resistors, and obtains the first input voltage UB and the second input voltage UC through the bus.

[0060] During normal operation, the input values ​​obtained by the three analog input modules satisfy the following relationship:

[0061]

[0062] Where:

[0063] Δ1, Δ2, Δ3 and Δ4 are specified values ​​and are the maximum allowable errors.

[0064] S2. Each analog input module performs self-diagnosis and fault location according to the three input values ​​received.

[0065] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the attached Figure 2 As shown, the triple redundant analog input self-diagnosis method process of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0066] Taking the first analog input module as an example, the first analog input module obtains the input voltage UB based on the first resistor, exchanges data with the second and third analog input modules through the bus, and obtains the second input voltage UC and the third input voltage UA.

[0067] S2 includes:

[0068] S2.1, self-diagnose whether the analog input module is faulty and locate the analog input module where the fault is.

[0069] Specifically, the sum of the first input voltage UB and the second input voltage UC is compared with the third input voltage UA. If an abnormality occurs, it is determined that the analog input module is faulty, and the analog input module where the fault occurs is further determined and located.

[0070] Use condition 1 in the self-diagnosis logic to determine whether the analog input module is faulty, and locate the analog input module where the fault is;

[0071] More specifically, condition 1 in the self-diagnosis logic is as follows, which can accurately locate the analog input module fault:

[0072] T1: The three input values ​​satisfy: (UB+UC)*(1-Δ1)>UA or UA>(UB+UC)*(1+Δ1), and 2*UB*(1-Δ3)>UA or UA>2*UB*(1+Δ3), and 2*UC*(1-Δ4)≤UA≤2*UC*(1+Δ4), the fault of the first analog input module corresponding to UB can be accurately located;

[0073] T2: The three input values ​​satisfy: (UB+UC)*(1-Δ1)>UA or UA>(UB+UC)*(1+Δ1), and 2*UB*(1-Δ3)≤UA≤2*UB*(1+Δ3), and 2*UC*(1-Δ4)>UA or UA>2*UC*(1+Δ4), the fault of the second analog input module corresponding to UC can be accurately located;

[0074] T3: The three input values ​​satisfy: (UB+UC)*(1-Δ1)>UA or UA>(UB+UC)*(1+Δ1), and UC*(1-Δ2)≤UB≤UC*(1+Δ2). The fault of the third analog input module corresponding to UA can be accurately located.

[0075] S2.2, self-diagnose whether the external input current is faulty and determine the fault type.

[0076] Specifically, the sum of the first input voltage UB and the second input voltage UC is compared with the third input voltage UA. If there is no abnormality, and the first input voltage UB is compared with the second input voltage UC and there is also no abnormality, the first input voltage UB, the second input voltage UC, and the third input voltage UA are further compared with the set voltage thresholds to determine the fault type.

[0077] More specifically, condition 2 in the self-diagnosis logic is as follows, which can accurately locate the external input current fault:

[0078] M1: The three input values ​​satisfy: (UB+UC)*(1-Δ1)≤UA≤(UB+UC)*(1+Δ1), and UC*(1-Δ2)≤UB≤UC*(1+Δ2), and the first input voltage UB, the second input voltage UC, and the third input voltage UA are all less than the first voltage threshold US, where the first voltage threshold US is a set value, which can accurately locate the external input current with an input cable disconnection or short circuit fault;

[0079] M2: The three input values ​​satisfy: (UB+UC)*(1-Δ1)≤UA≤(UB+UC)*(1+Δ1), and UC*(1-Δ2)≤UB≤UC*(1+Δ2), and the first input voltage UB, the second input voltage UC, and the third input voltage UA are all greater than the second voltage threshold UM, where the second voltage threshold UM is a set value, which can accurately locate the overcurrent fault of the external input current.

[0080] S2.3, self-diagnose whether the sampling circuit is faulty and determine the type of fault.

[0081] Specifically, the sum of the first input voltage UB and the second input voltage UC is compared with the third input voltage UA. If there is no abnormality, but the first input voltage UB is compared with the second input voltage UC and there is an abnormality, then the sampling circuit fails.

[0082] More specifically, condition three in the self-diagnosis logic is as follows, which can accurately locate the sampling circuit fault:

[0083] N1: The three input values ​​satisfy: (UB+UC)*(1-Δ1)≤UA≤(UB+UC)*(1+Δ1), and UC*(1-Δ2)>UB or UB>UC*(1+Δ2), which can accurately locate the sampling circuit fault;

[0084] N2: The three input values ​​satisfy: the first input voltage UB is less than the first voltage threshold US, and the second input voltage UC and the third input voltage UA are both greater than the second voltage threshold UM, or the second input voltage UC is less than the first voltage threshold US, and the third input voltage UA and the first input voltage UB are both greater than the second voltage threshold UM. The sampling circuit fault can be accurately located.

[0085] S3. The three analog input modules vote on the self-diagnosis results through the bus to obtain the voting results, thereby achieving accurate positioning of the fault.

[0086] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, the voting format is as follows: the analog input module adopts a two-out-of-three voting principle.

[0087] Specifically, if the self-diagnosis results of the three analog input modules are valid, voting is carried out according to the principle of two out of three; if the self-diagnosis results of only two analog input modules among the three analog input modules are valid, if the self-diagnosis results of the two analog input modules are the same, the same result is used as the voting result; if the self-diagnosis results of the two analog input modules are different: if the self-diagnosis result of one module is a fault and the self-diagnosis result of the other module is normal, the staff can set the output value of the voting result according to the application scenario of the module; if the self-diagnosis results of the two modules are both faults, but the fault locations are different, both fault information will be output.

[0088] S4. Based on the voting results, determine the type and location of the fault.

[0089] Example 2

[0090] As attached Figure 3 As shown, embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a triple redundant analog input device, which is implemented based on the above triple redundant analog input self-diagnosis method.

[0091] The triple redundant analog input device adopts a modular design architecture, including: a base, a first analog input module, a second analog input module, and a third analog input module. The three analog input modules are plugged into the base through connectors, and each module can be flexibly plugged in and out. The hardware and software of the three modules are the same.

[0092] The base mainly includes sampling circuit, port protection circuit and address circuit.

[0093] (1) The sampling circuit includes: a first resistor and a second resistor connected in series, wherein the first end of the first resistor is connected to the positive end of the current signal input, the second end of the first resistor is connected to the first end of the second resistor, and the second end of the second resistor is connected to the negative end of the current signal input, wherein the first resistor and the second resistor have the same parameters such as resistance value, temperature drift, and accuracy.

[0094] (2) The port protection circuit includes a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) to achieve overvoltage protection.

[0095] (3) The address circuit is divided into a slot address circuit and a slave address circuit. The slot address circuit is used to set the slot address of each analog input module, such as 0, 1, 2, which is used to distinguish the first, second, and third analog input modules; the slave address circuit is used to set the slave addresses of the three analog input modules. The slave addresses of the three analog input modules are the same and are used to realize the communication address with the upper-level control device.

[0096] The analog input module includes a signal conditioning circuit, an ADC sampling circuit (Analog to Digital Converter), a logic processing circuit, etc. The voltage enters the conditioning circuit for amplitude adjustment and filtering, and then enters the ADC sampling circuit to realize analog-to-digital conversion. The conversion result is sent to the logic processing unit for logic operation with the sampling results of the other two analog input modules to achieve self-diagnosis.

[0097] The three analog input modules should have a decoupling function, especially when a module fails, such as: the positive input terminal and the negative input terminal of the signal conditioning circuit are short-circuited, which will affect the sampling results of the other two modules. Figure 2 The analog input modules in the circuit are connected in series with resistors with a resistance of several hundred kilo-ohms before the positive and negative input stages of the signal conditioning circuit, so as to achieve decoupling of the voltage input signals between the analog input modules.

[0098] The three analog input modules exchange data through a bus, and the communication mode is point-to-point, namely: communication between the first analog input module and the second analog input module, communication between the first analog input module and the third analog input module, and communication between the first analog input module and the third analog input module.

[0099] In actual applications, when an analog input module fails, the faulty module can be replaced by hot-swapped. At the same time, if the usage scenario of this device does not require high redundant configuration, the staff can flexibly configure the number of analog input modules according to demand.

[0100] The specific implementations described above further describe the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail, but those skilled in the art should understand that the above are only specific implementations of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is defined by the attached claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these implementations without departing from the principle and essence of the present invention, but these changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
