Detailed implementation manners
[0045] To make the objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following describes the detailed implementation manners of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.
[0046] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0047] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present invention. The "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not all refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0048] Embodiment 1
[0049] Refer to Figures 1-4, which is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a main board 100 that can maintain a reliable and stable connection while providing external terminals with multiple types of interfaces. It includes: a base plate 101, a core board 102, and a terminal connection component 103. The base plate 101 provides mechanical support and electrical connection. The core board 102 includes a microcontroller. There are also several terminals on the base plate 101 connected to external interfaces, which are respectively used to implement various functions. The terminal connection component 103 is used to connect each terminal to the base plate 101.
[0050] Specifically, the base plate 101 is connected to the power supply through a power terminal. The core board 102 is fixed on one side of the base plate 101 and is electrically connected to each terminal by wires passing through the base plate 101. The terminal connection component 103 includes an upper connection part 103a and a lower connection part 103b respectively arranged on both end faces of the base plate 101. An electrical isolation design is adopted between the upper connection part 103a and the lower connection part 103b to prevent signal interference and electrical short circuits. They are connected through jumpers to achieve different connection configurations and ensure signal integrity and system stability. In addition, the upper connection part 103a and the lower connection part 103b can be respectively connected to different power supplies or signals to achieve multifunctional electrical connections.
[0051] Furthermore, the upper connection part 103a is electrically connected to the core board 102 through a main wire, including at least one main connection point, which is used to transmit power and signals to the main part of the device. The main part refers to the main circuits of core components such as a digital input / output board 300 and an analog input / output board 400. The lower connection part 103b is electrically connected to the core board 102 through a branch wire, including at least one branch connection point, which is used to distribute power or signals to other branch circuits and devices. Through the structure with the upper and lower layers offset, the number of wires and the volume of connectors can be effectively reduced, allowing the simultaneous connection of main wires and branch wires, providing greater connection flexibility. By providing multiple connection points, the connection stability and reliability can be improved, and the risk of system failure caused by single-point failures can be reduced.
[0052] Preferably, the terminal connection assembly 103 further includes an identification part and a fixing part. The identification part can use colors, symbol arrows, etc. as identifiers. The identification part is used to identify the functions and connection directions of each connection point. Standardized identification is adopted to ensure quick identification and operation in complex wiring environments, which is convenient for installation and maintenance. For example, the connection directions of the connection points are respectively represented by an "arc-shaped groove" and a "right-angle groove" at the terminal connection; the fixing part includes fixing elements such as screws or buckles, and holes and grooves can be reserved on the bottom plate 101 for installation to ensure the stability of the connection in a vibration and shock environment. It is used to fix the terminal connection assembly 103 at the installation position on the bottom plate 101. Both the upper connection part 103a and the lower connection part 103b include conductive terminals, and each conductive terminal is respectively adapted to a connection point. The connection between the conductive terminal and the bottom plate 101 is detachable, which is convenient for connection and disconnection operations as needed. The detachable design makes the terminal connection structure more convenient during maintenance and upgrade, reducing the time and cost of installation and disassembly. The conductive terminal is made of metal material to ensure good electrical conductivity and durability. The surface of the terminal is treated with gold plating or silver plating to improve the antioxidant performance and electrical conductivity.
[0053] Preferably, the upper connection part 103a and the lower connection part 103b are separated by an insulating material. The insulating material can use materials with high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, such as PEEK material, ceramic material, etc. It has excellent mechanical properties, flame retardancy, low smoke emission, and chemical corrosion resistance while being resistant to high temperature, ensuring the insulation performance in various environments and improving safety and reliability.
[0054] Referring to Table 1-2 below, several external terminals adapted to the main board interface 200 are shown, adopting a double-layer arrangement structure.
[0055] Table 1
[0056] The above Table 1 shows the composition structure of the CAN and serial communication terminal P16. Among them, the identification part of this embodiment sets a triangular identifier at the No. 1 pin, and the direction of the triangular tip is the wiring direction.
[0057] The CAN communication terminal consists of two types of pins, namely CAN_H and CAN_L. These pins are connected to the CAN controller and transceiver chip to achieve data communication between devices. It is used for high-speed and reliable data exchange with the switch board 300, the fan main control system, etc. When working, the CAN controller converts the data into the CAN protocol format, and the CAN transceiver chip converts the data into physical layer signals (CAN_H and CAN_L) for transmission. The CAN transceiver at the receiving end converts the physical layer signal back into data for the CAN controller to process.
[0058] The RS485 communication terminal consists of two pins, namely A and B. These pins are connected to the RS485 transceiver chip. It is used for long-distance, multi-point communication scenarios, connecting multiple slave devices to achieve high-speed and stable data transmission. When working, the main board 100 microcontroller sends data to the RS485 transceiver, and the RS485 transceiver converts the digital signal into a differential signal for transmission. The RS485 transceiver at the receiving end converts the differential signal back into a digital signal for the microcontroller to process.
[0059] The RS232 communication terminal consists of two pins, namely T232 (transmit) and R232 (receive). These pins are connected to the RS232 level conversion chip. It is used for short-distance, point-to-point communication with computers, terminal devices, etc., and is also used for device debugging, data downloading, etc. When working, the main board 100 microcontroller sends data to the RS232 level conversion chip, and the level conversion chip converts the digital logic level into the positive and negative voltage levels of the RS232 standard. The RS232 level conversion chip at the receiving end converts the positive and negative voltage levels back into the digital logic level for the microcontroller to process.
[0060] Table 2
[0061] The above Table 2 shows the composition structure of the 3-way current sampling signal terminal P4. To meet the requirements, this embodiment also provides a terminal P5 with the same structure and function as P4. The signal terminal usually consists of multiple pins and is used to connect different signals (such as current, voltage, etc.). These pins are connected to the signal conditioning circuit and the AD converter, which are used to collect and process various signals, such as current, voltage, etc., and convert the signals into digital signals for the microcontroller to process. When working, the signal is input into the signal conditioning circuit through the terminal. The conditioning circuit processes the signal, such as amplification, filtering, etc. The processed signal is input into the AD converter and converted into a digital signal, and the digital signal is used for the microcontroller to further process and analyze.
[0062] Embodiment 2
[0063] Refer to Figures 1-8 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a main board interface 200 applied to the main board 100, including a communication interface 201 adapted to the external terminals of the main board 100, an input interface, a sampling interface 203, and an expansion interface 204, which improves the interface type and expansion ability. As Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the composition structure of the wind power converter controller of the present invention. For ease of understanding, the main board interface 200 is schematically shown by a dotted line box. The digital input / output board 300, the analog input / output board 400, and the communication expansion board 500 are respectively connected to the main board 100 through the main board interface 200. The arrows connected to the main board interface 200 in the dotted line box indicate the respective specific interfaces.
[0064] Specifically, the communication interface 201 is used for communication between the main board 100 and devices. The encoder input interface 202 is used to measure the position and speed of the rotational movement of the wind turbine. The sampling interface 203 is used to control the high-precision data transmission in the wind power system, and the expansion interface 204 is used for interface expansion.
[0065] Furthermore, the CAN communication interface includes a CAN controller, a first transceiver chip U5, and a logic control circuit. The CAN controller is interconnected with the microcontroller of the core board 102 through SPI or a parallel bus for data transmission. The first transceiver chip U5 is electrically connected to the core board 102 and is used to convert the signals of the CAN controller into signals suitable for long-distance transmission to ensure the accurate transceiver and processing of CAN signals. The logic control circuit inside the CAN communication interface includes: a first power module, a CAN controller module, and a CAN bus interface module, which can parse and repackage the input CAN data to meet the CAN communication requirements of the output end. One of the two CAN communication interfaces communicates with the digital input / output board 300, and the other communicates with the main control system of the wind turbine to achieve high-speed and reliable data exchange between devices.
[0066] As Figure 5 shown, in the first power module: the function of the DC-DC converter U2 is to convert the input DC voltage (+Vin, -Vin) into a stable 5V DC output (+Vout, -Vout). This stable 5V power supply provides the working voltage for some components in the subsequent CAN communication circuit. For example, it provides power for the VDD pin of the first transceiver chip U5. In the figure, the numbers 1, 2 and 5, 7 represent the input lines (+Vin, -Vin) and the output lines (+Vout, -Vout) respectively.
[0067] In this embodiment, the seventh filter capacitor C1 and the eighth filter capacitor C2 are both 10uF / 50V, and the sixth filter capacitor C5 is 10uF / 16V. Their function is to filter out the ripples and noises in the power supply. For example, when the power supply is output from the DC-DC converter U2, the ripples may interfere with the normal transmission of the CAN communication signal. The seventh filter capacitor C1 and the sixth filter capacitor C5 are connected to the output end of the DC-DC converter U2, and can form a low-impedance path between the positive and negative poles of the power supply, enabling the high-frequency noise to return to the ground through the capacitor, thereby reducing the high-frequency interference components in the power supply and providing a cleaner power supply for the CAN communication circuit.
[0068] C3 is also a filtering capacitor, which is connected in parallel with PL1 and forms part of a π-type filtering network. It can effectively filter out high-frequency noise and ripple in the power supply output, making the output VDD_C voltage more stable and pure, providing a more stable power supply for the CAN communication circuit, and ensuring the quality and reliability of communication signals.
[0069] As an inductor, PL1 plays the role of energy storage and filtering in the circuit. When current passes through PL1, it stores energy. When the current in the circuit changes, PL1 can release or absorb energy, thus stabilizing the output current. At the same time, together with C1, C2, and C3, it constitutes a multi-stage filtering network, further reducing the ripple and noise in the power supply output, improving the quality of the power supply, and reducing interference to CAN bus communication.
[0070] As the output terminal of the DC-DC converter U2, VDD_C provides the required power supply voltage for the subsequent CAN communication interface circuit, ensuring that chips such as the CAN communication controller and transceiver can operate normally. It is the energy guarantee for the normal operation of the entire CAN communication system.
[0071] As the common reference ground of the entire DC-DC conversion circuit, GND provides a stable potential reference point for each component in the circuit, ensuring the normal operation of the circuit and the accurate transmission of signals. At the same time, through the connection with GND_CAN, the potential correlation between the power supply ground and the CAN communication ground is realized, ensuring the continuity and consistency of the entire system ground.
[0072] As the grounding terminal of the CAN communication network, GND_CAN provides a reference ground potential for the signals on the CAN bus, ensuring the stable transmission of differential signals on the CAN bus and preventing communication errors and interference caused by ground potential differences. In addition, through the connection with GND, GND_CAN connects the ground of the entire CAN communication system to the power supply ground, achieving the grounding balance of the system and improving the anti-interference ability and reliability of the system.
[0073] As Figures 6-7 shown, in the CAN controller module (taking CAN3 as an example), the first voltage conversion chip U4 converts the power supply voltage to 3.3V. Since the first transceiver chip U5 requires a 3.3V power supply to operate normally, it provides a suitable operating voltage for the first transceiver chip U5, enabling the first transceiver chip U5 to correctly receive and transmit signals; in this embodiment, the first pull-up resistor RCH6 and the second pull-up resistor RCH7 are both 4.7k. They are connected to signal lines such as CAN_RX3_3V3 and CAN_TX3_3V3 in the circuit. When the signal line is in a high-impedance state, the pull-up resistor will pull up the signal line voltage to a level close to the power supply voltage, ensuring that the signal line does not remain in an uncertain state and facilitating the stable transmission of digital signals.
[0074] CAN_RX3_3V3 and CAN_TX3_3V3 are low-level signals used for communicating with devices with 3.3V logic levels. They are respectively connected to the 3.3V power supply and grounded through the first pull-up resistor RCH6 and the second pull-up resistor RCH7. Among them, CAN_RX3_3V3 is a receiving signal used to receive data from the CAN bus, and the signal level is 3.3V. When the data on the CAN bus is transmitted to this module, after being converted by the first voltage conversion chip U4, it is provided to the subsequent 3.3V logic level circuit (such as a microcontroller, etc.) for processing in the form of a 3.3V level; CAN_TX3_3V3 is a transmitting signal used to send 3.3V level data to the CAN bus. It converts the data from a 3.3V logic level device (such as a microcontroller) through the first voltage conversion chip U4 and then sends it to the CAN bus, realizing the data sending function between the 3.3V level device and the CAN bus.
[0075] CAN_RX3_5V and CAN_TX3_5V are high-level signals used for communicating with devices with 5V logic levels. They are respectively connected to VDD_C (5V power supply). Among them, CAN_RX3_5V is a receiving signal used to receive data from the CAN bus and then provide it to the subsequent 5V logic level circuit for processing in the form of a 5V level. It converts the data on the CAN bus into a 5V level through the first voltage conversion chip U4, facilitating data interaction with 5V devices; CAN_TX3_5V is a transmitting signal used to send 5V level data to the CAN bus. It converts the data from a 5V logic level device through the first voltage conversion chip U4 and then sends it to the CAN bus, realizing the data sending function between the 5V level device and the CAN bus.
[0076] In this circuit, the first voltage conversion chip U4 plays a key role in level conversion, enabling devices with different levels (3.3V and 5V) to communicate through the CAN bus.
[0077] Furthermore, Figure 6The serial numbers 1 to 8 respectively represent different circuits, which are respectively connected to the following port pins: VDD1 is a power input port, which provides power for a part of the circuit of the voltage conversion chip; VDD2 is also a power input port, similar to VDD1, but may be different in voltage value or power supply range, and it is mainly used to supply power for the high-voltage circuit part inside the chip; VOA is an output port, which is used to output a signal voltage after voltage conversion; VIA is an input port, which receives analog signals or digital signals from the external circuit; VIB is also an input port, similar to VIA, and the signal it receives is used to implement functions such as differential input; VOB is the output port corresponding to VIB, which is used to output the processed signal; GND1 and GND2 both serve as the reference ground in the circuit, providing a low-impedance return path for the current, where GND2 is mainly used to provide a grounding reference for the high-voltage circuit part.
[0078] C9 is a decoupling capacitor, which is taken as 0.1uF in this embodiment. It is connected between the power pin (VDD) of the first transceiver chip U5 and the ground (GND_C). Its function is to provide instantaneous current requirements for the first transceiver chip U5, and reduce the impact of high-frequency noise on the chip on the power line. When the internal circuit of the first transceiver chip U5 works, if there is an instantaneous current change, C9 can quickly release the stored charge, maintain the stability of the voltage of the chip's power pin, and ensure the normal operation of the chip.
[0079] The first transceiver chip U5 has multiple functional pins. Among them, TXD (Transmit Data Pin) is used to receive the transmit data signal from the microcontroller; RXD (Receive Data Pin) sends the received CAN bus data to the microcontroller; VDD and VSS are power pins; VREF is a reference voltage pin; CANH and CANL are differential signal pins of the CAN bus. When the microcontroller wants to send data, the data enters the first transceiver chip U5 through the TXD pin. After the first transceiver chip U5 converts and modulates the signal, it sends the signal to the CAN bus through the CANH and CANL pins. On the contrary, when there is data on the CAN bus, the first transceiver chip U5 receives the signal through the CANH and CANL pins. After demodulation and conversion, the data is sent from the RXD pin to the microcontroller.
[0080] C6 and C7 are also decoupling capacitors, which are both taken as 0.1uF in this embodiment. They are respectively connected between the power pin (VDD_C) of the first transceiver chip U5 and the ground (GND_CAN), and play a similar role to C9, further stabilizing the power supply voltage of the first transceiver chip U5.
[0081] The resistors R3 and R4 are termination matching resistors. In CAN bus communication, to prevent signal reflection and standing wave phenomena, matching is required at both ends of the bus. They are connected to the CANH and CANL signal lines, providing appropriate impedance matching so that when the CAN bus signal is transmitted on the bus, the energy can be effectively absorbed, reducing signal reflection and ensuring signal integrity.
[0082] As Figure 8 shown, in the CAN bus interface module (taking CAN3 as an example), the second filter capacitor C10 (1000 pF in this embodiment), the inductor L1 (11 uH in this embodiment), and the first filter capacitor C8 (1000 pF in this embodiment) form an LC filter network, that is, a low-pass filter, which can filter out high-frequency interference signals on the CAN bus. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) may be coupled to the CAN bus signal, and this LC filter network can filter out interference signals above a certain frequency (determined by the inductor L1 and the capacitance value), thereby ensuring the quality of the CAN communication signal.
[0083] GND_CAN and GND_C are two different grounds. GND_CAN is the reference ground of the CAN bus, providing a stable reference potential for the CAN bus signal. GND_C is the analog ground or digital ground of the CAN controller circuit, used to isolate different parts of the circuit and reduce the interference of the potential difference between different grounds on the signal. By reasonable ground division and connection, signal interference caused by ground wire impedance can be avoided, ensuring the reliability of CAN communication.
[0084] The remaining structure is the same as that of Embodiment 2.
[0085] The signal transmission process of the CAN communication interface (taking CAN3 as an example): When the microcontroller needs to send data, the data is first sent to the TXD pin of the first transceiver chip U5. The first transceiver chip U5 modulates these data, converting them into differential signals suitable for transmission on the CAN bus. The modulated signals are output through the CANH and CANL pins of the first transceiver chip U5; the output signals pass through R3 and R4 (termination resistors) to ensure good transmission characteristics of the signals on the CAN bus and reduce phenomena such as reflections. Then the signals enter the LC filter network to filter out possible high-frequency interference signals; the filtered signals are output from the CAN3_H_P and CAN3_L_P pins and connected to the external CAN bus; when receiving signals, the external CAN bus signals enter from the CAN3_H_P and CAN3_L_P pins. After being filtered by the LC filter network to remove interference, the signals reach the CANH and CANL pins of the first transceiver chip U5; the first transceiver chip U5 demodulates the received signals, converting the differential signals into logic level signals suitable for the microcontroller to receive, and then sends the data to the microcontroller through the RXD pin. During the whole process, the power supply module provides stable power for each chip, and various filter capacitors, resistors and other components play an auxiliary role to ensure the integrity and reliability of the signals.
[0086] For the CAN2 part, its circuit principle is similar to that of CAN3, so the circuit drawings and descriptions of it in the present invention are omitted.
[0087] Data sending processing process of the first transceiver chip U5 of CAN: First, data input and level conversion (TXD pin) are carried out. The TXD pin of the first transceiver chip U5 of CAN receives the sending data from the microcontroller. These data usually appear in the form of logic level signals, for example, under the logic level standards of 3.3V or 5V. Assuming that the microcontroller uses 3.3V logic level, when the TXD pin of the first transceiver chip U5 receives a high level (corresponding to logic "1") or a low level (corresponding to logic "0"), this is the original data signal to be sent to the CAN bus; inside the first transceiver chip U5, these logic level signals are preliminarily processed. It will convert the signals into levels suitable for subsequent sending circuit processing according to the level conversion circuit inside the chip, such as buffering and amplifying the signals to ensure that the signals have sufficient driving ability to drive the subsequent sending circuit.
[0088] Next, signal modulation (transmission driver) is performed. The signal after level conversion enters the transmission driver inside the first transceiver chip U5. The main function of the transmission driver is to convert the logic level signal into a differential signal suitable for transmission on the CAN bus. In CAN bus communication, differential signals are usually used to improve the anti-interference ability; the differential signal of the CAN bus is generated between the CANH and CANL pins. When transmitting logic "0", the transmission driver will cause the voltage of the CANH pin to rise to a relatively high level (such as 3.3V or 5V, depending on the chip design and power supply voltage), while causing the voltage of the CANL pin to drop to a relatively low level (such as close to 0V). In this way, a relatively high voltage difference will be generated between CANH and CANL. Usually, this voltage difference may be about 2V, and the specific value varies depending on the chip and bus standard. When transmitting logic "1", the transmission driver will make the voltages of the CANH and CANL pins in a balanced state, that is, the voltage difference between them is very small, close to 0V. This encoding method of differential signals can effectively distinguish logic "0" and logic "1", and has a strong ability to suppress common-mode interference.
[0089] Finally, signal output (CANH and CANL pins) is performed. The modulated differential signal is output to the external CAN bus through the CANH and CANL pins of the first transceiver chip U5. During the output process, the signal will also be affected by some external components (such as termination matching resistors, filter capacitors, and inductors, etc.). The termination matching resistor can ensure good transmission characteristics of the signal on the bus and reduce phenomena such as reflection; the filter capacitor and inductor can filter out high-frequency interference components in the signal to ensure the signal quality of the transmitted signal.
[0090] The receiving data processing process of the first transceiver chip U5 of CAN: First, signal input (CANH and CANL pins) is performed. The differential signal from the external CAN bus enters the chip through the CANH and CANL pins of the first transceiver chip U5. These signals may be affected by various interference factors, such as electromagnetic interference, reflection on the bus, etc., so the chip will perform preliminary processing on the input signal internally. The receiving circuit inside the first transceiver chip U5 will filter and amplify the input differential signal. The filter circuit can remove some high-frequency noise components in the signal, while the amplifier circuit will amplify the signal to an appropriate amplitude so that the subsequent signal processing circuit can accurately identify the signal.
[0091] Next, signal demodulation is performed. The amplified differential signal enters the receiving comparator inside the first transceiver chip U5. The function of the receiving comparator is to convert the differential signal into a logic level signal. It compares the voltage difference between the CANH and CANL pins. If the voltage difference exceeds a certain threshold (for example, greater than 0.5V, and this threshold varies depending on the chip and bus standard), it is considered that a logic "0" is received; if the voltage difference is lower than this threshold, it is considered that a logic "1" is received.
[0092] For example, when the voltage of the CANH pin is 3.3V and the voltage of the CANL pin is 0.3V, the voltage difference between the two is 3V, which is much greater than the threshold voltage. At this time, the comparator outputs a logic "0"; when the voltages of the CANH and CANL pins are close to equal (such as around 1.5V each), and the voltage difference is less than the threshold voltage, the comparator outputs a logic "1".
[0093] Then, data output and level conversion (RXD pin) are performed. The logic level signal demodulated by the receiving comparator will be further processed. Inside the first transceiver chip U5, the signal will be level-converted according to the output level standard of the chip (such as 3.3V or 5V logic level) to ensure that the output signal can match the logic level standard of the microcontroller.
[0094] Finally, the processed received data is output through the RXD pin of the first transceiver chip U5 and sent to the microcontroller to complete the data receiving process.
[0095] Embodiment 3
[0096] Referring to Figures 1-13 , this is the third embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides an RS485 communication interface and an RS232 communication interface.
[0097] Specifically, the communication interface 201 further includes an RS485 communication interface, which includes a first signal conversion circuit connected to the core board 102 through an RS485 transceiver chip, used to convert the digital signal of the core board 102 into a differential signal for transmission, and convert the received differential signal into a digital signal. The signal conversion and transmission are realized through a dedicated RS485 transceiver chip. The RS485 transceiver chip converts the digital signal output by the microcontroller of the main board 100 into a differential signal conforming to the RS485 standard for transmission, and at the same time converts the received RS485 differential signal into a digital signal for the microcontroller to process. It is commonly used in long-distance, multi-point communication scenarios, can connect multiple devices, and realizes high-speed and stable data transmission. It is used to connect a metering table in the wind power converter controller system.
[0098] Further, the communication interface 201 further includes an RS232 communication interface, which includes a second signal conversion circuit connected to the core board 102 through an RS232 level conversion chip, and is used to convert the digital logic level of the main board 100 into positive and negative voltage levels of the RS232 standard. It is used for short-distance, point-to-point communication with computers, terminal devices, etc., for device debugging, data downloading, etc.
[0099] Among them, as Figures 9-13 shown, the first signal conversion circuit and the second signal conversion circuit are respectively provided with a second power module and a third power module. In the second power module and the third power module, the function of the second voltage conversion chip U60 and the third voltage conversion chip U62 is to convert the power supply voltage into 3.3V to provide the operating voltage for some components in the subsequent RS485 and RS232 communication circuits. For example, it provides a suitable operating voltage for the second transceiver chip U59 (i.e., the RS485 transceiver chip) and the third transceiver chip U68, the fourth transceiver chip U69 (RS232 transceiver chip), etc., so that these chips can correctly receive and send signals; the first decoupling capacitor C235, the second decoupling capacitor C236, the third decoupling capacitor C239, and the fourth decoupling capacitor C240 are connected between the power supply pin of the chip and the ground (GND_CAN). Their function is to provide instantaneous current demand for the chip and reduce the impact of high-frequency noise on the chip on the power supply line. When the internal circuit of the chip works, if there is an instantaneous current change, the capacitor can quickly release the stored charge to maintain the stability of the voltage at the power supply pin of the chip and ensure the normal operation of the chip; C237 and C238 (both are 10uF in this embodiment) are the ninth filter capacitors, which are usually connected between the positive and negative poles of the power supply. Their function is to filter out the ripple and noise in the power supply, provide a cleaner power supply for the RS485 and RS232 communication circuits, and avoid the interference components in the power supply from affecting the signal transmission quality.
[0100] In the RS485 communication module, the second transceiver chip U59 has multiple functional pins. RO (receive output pin) is used to send the received RS485 bus signal to the microcontroller; RE (receive enable pin) is used to control the enabling or disabling of the receive function; DE (driver enable pin) is used to control the enabling or disabling of the send function; DI (send input pin) is used to receive the send data signal from the microcontroller; A and B are the differential signal pins of the RS485 bus; VCC and GND are the power supply pins.
[0101] When the microcontroller needs to send data, the data enters the second transceiver chip U59 through the DI pin. At the same time, the DE pin is pulled high (assuming high-level enables transmission). After the second transceiver chip U59 converts and modulates the signal, it is sent to the RS485 bus through pins A and B. For example, when sending logic "0", the voltage of pin A is lower than that of pin B; when sending logic "1", the voltage of pin A is higher than that of pin B.
[0102] When there is data on the RS485 bus, the data enters the second transceiver chip U59 through pins A and B. At the same time, the RE pin is pulled low. After the second transceiver chip U59 converts the received differential signal into a single-ended signal, it is sent to the microcontroller from the RO pin.
[0103] R243 (220Ω in this embodiment) is the terminal matching resistor. In RS485 bus communication, to prevent signal reflection and standing wave phenomena, matching is required at both ends of the bus. It is connected to the A and B signal lines of the RS485 bus, providing appropriate impedance matching so that when the RS485 bus signal is transmitted on the bus, the energy can be effectively absorbed, reducing signal reflection and ensuring signal integrity.
[0104] R242 and R244 (both 4.7k in this embodiment) are the third pull-up resistors. They are connected to signal lines such as RS485_TX_EN (transmission enable signal line). When the signal line is in a high-impedance state, the third pull-up resistor will pull the signal line voltage up to a level close to the power supply voltage, ensuring that the signal line does not remain in an uncertain state, which is very important for the stable transmission of digital signals.
[0105] In the RS232 communication module, the third transceiver chip U68 and the fourth transceiver chip U69 are used to convert the TTL-level signal of the microcontroller into an RS232-level signal (transmission direction), and convert the RS232-level signal into a TTL-level signal (reception direction). For example, during transmission, the low level (such as 0V) output by the microcontroller will be converted into a negative voltage of the RS232 standard (such as about -12V), and the high level (such as 3.3V or 5V) will be converted into a positive voltage of the RS232 standard (such as about +12V); during reception, the positive voltage of RS232 will be converted into a high level of TTL level, and the negative voltage will be converted into a low level of TTL level.
[0106] HC9, HC6, and HC10 are the tenth filter capacitors. In this embodiment, the tenth filter capacitor, the third filter capacitor HC8, and the fourth filter capacitor HC7 are all 10 uF. They are all connected between the power supply pins of the third transceiver chip U68 and the fourth transceiver chip U69 and the ground (GND_CAN). Their function is to filter out the ripples and noises in the power supply, provide a stable power supply for the RS232 transceiver chip, and ensure the accuracy of signal conversion.
[0107] HU1 is an isolation transformer or a signal isolator. Its function is to provide signal isolation, isolate the RS232 signal from other circuits on the main board, and prevent problems such as ground potential differences in RS232 communication from damaging the main board circuit. For example, when the RS232 communication line is connected to other devices, there may be different ground potentials. Through HU1, the current caused by the ground potential difference can be prevented from impacting the main board circuit.
[0108] The remaining structure is the same as that of Embodiment 2.
[0109] RS485 communication interface signal transmission process: When the microcontroller needs to send data, the data is first sent to the DI pin of the second transceiver chip U59. At the same time, the microcontroller enables the transmission function of the second transceiver chip U59 (pulls up the DE pin) through relevant circuits (such as R242, R244, etc.) with the RS485_TX_EN signal. The second transceiver chip U59 internally modulates the signal and converts it into a differential signal suitable for transmission on the RS485 bus. The modulated signal is output through pins A and B, and after passing through R243 (the termination matching resistor), it is connected to the external RS485 bus; when receiving a signal, the external RS485 bus signal enters the second transceiver chip U59 through pins A and B. The microcontroller enables the receiving function by controlling the RE pin (pulls down the RE pin). The second transceiver chip U59 demodulates the received signal, converts the differential signal into a logic level signal suitable for the microcontroller to receive, and then sends the data to the microcontroller through the RO pin.
[0110] RS232 communication interface signal transmission process: When the microcontroller needs to send data, the data is sent to the transmit input pins of the third transceiver chip U68 or the fourth transceiver chip U69 through the UARTDBG / TX pin. The third transceiver chip U68 or the fourth transceiver chip U69 converts the TTL level signal into an RS232 level signal and then sends it to the external RS232 communication line through the RS232_TXD1 pin. In this process, capacitors such as the third filter capacitors HC8 and HC9 play a filtering role to provide a stable power supply for the chip; when an external device sends data to the main board through the RS232 communication line, the signal enters the third transceiver chip U68 or the fourth transceiver chip U69 from the RS232_RXD1 pin. After the third transceiver chip U68 or the fourth transceiver chip U69 converts the RS232 level signal into a TTL level signal, it is sent to the microcontroller through the UARTDBG / RX pin. At the same time, HU1 plays an isolation role during the entire RS232 communication process to prevent the ground potential of the external device from interfering with or damaging the main board circuit.
[0111] Embodiment 4
[0112] Refer to Figures 1-16 , which is the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a code disk input interface 202 and an expansion interface 204. Specifically, the code disk input interface 202 is adapted to the code disk signal terminal PSD1, and each code disk input interface 202 is connected to the input end of an optocoupler isolation circuit, and the input signal is stabilized through a filtering and shaping circuit. The optocoupler plays an electrical isolation role, converting the external 24V code disk signal into a digital signal suitable for the main board 100 to process.
[0113] At the same time, the input signal is processed through the filtering and shaping circuit to improve the quality and stability of the signal. The code disk input interface is used in the wind power converter controller system to measure information such as the position and speed of rotational motion, and is used for motor control, position detection, etc.
[0114] Preferably, the expansion interface 204 includes 2 FT3 interfaces for interface expansion. The 2 FT3 interfaces are implemented through a specific protocol chip and interface circuit. The protocol chip is responsible for processing the encoding and decoding of the FT3 protocol, and the interface circuit ensures the transmission quality and compatibility of the signal. In the wind power converter controller system, the FT3 interface is used for data transmission in the system, with a speed of 20M, and can achieve high-precision measurement and control data exchange. And these 2 FT3 interfaces are scalable and can be connected to more external devices or modules according to needs to meet the upgrade and expansion of system functions.
[0115] The filtering and shaping circuit includes a fourth power supply module, a code disk signal input module, a signal processing module, and a signal output module. The fourth power supply module uses a 3.3V power supply to provide the working power supply for the entire filtering and shaping circuit. The signals output by the code disk require a suitable power supply to ensure the stability of their levels. The 3.3V power supply is used to supply power to components such as optocouplers (U9, U10) to ensure their normal operation.
[0116] As Figures 14-15 shown, in the code disk signal input module, SPEEDA+, SPEEDA-, SPEEDB+, SPEEDB-, SPEEDZ+, and SPEEDZ- are all signal output terminals of the code disk. The code disk usually outputs differential signals. For example, SPEEDA+ and SPEEDA- are a pair of differential signals, SPEEDB+ and SPEEDB- are another pair of differential signals, and SPEEDZ+ and SPEEDZ- are the third pair of differential signals. Differential signals can improve the anti-interference ability of the signals and are suitable for occasions with a relatively complex electromagnetic environment such as wind power converters.
[0117] R115, R118, R120, R124, R125, and R128 (all taken as 2.4K in this embodiment) are also pull-up resistors. They are connected between the code disk signal lines and the 3.3V power supply. When the code disk signal is in a high-impedance state, these pull-up resistors will pull up the signal line voltage to a level close to 3.3V to ensure that the signal line does not remain in an uncertain state and guarantee the integrity of the signal.
[0118] C31, C35 (both taken as 0.1uF in this embodiment), C32, C36 (both taken as 1uF in this embodiment), C33, C34, and C37 (taken as 101±10% in this embodiment) are all fifth filter capacitors. They are connected between the power supply and the ground to filter out the ripples and noises in the power supply, provide a stable power supply environment for the transmission of the code disk signals, and can also filter out the high-frequency interference signals on the signal lines to ensure the quality of the code disk signals.
[0119] In the signal processing module, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D6 are all diodes, but some can be changed to resistors (such as D5). When working as diodes normally, they can be used for signal clamping protection to prevent the signal voltage output by the code disk from being too high or too low and damaging the subsequent circuit. When changed to a resistor (such as D5 changed to a resistor), it can play the role of current limiting and impedance matching, and adjust the amplitude and transmission characteristics of the signal.
[0120] U9 and U10 are optocouplers, and their function is to perform signal isolation and level conversion. The input side of the optocoupler receives the signals from the code disk, and the output side is connected to the subsequent control circuit. When the code disk outputs a signal, the signal passes through the light-emitting diodes (ANODE1 and CATHODE1, ANODE2 and CATHODE2) of the optocoupler to turn on the internal photosensitive transistors (VO1, VO2), thereby transmitting the signal to the output side. This isolation method can effectively prevent the interference signals on the code disk side from entering the subsequent control circuit, and at the same time, it can also convert the signal level of the code disk into a level suitable for the subsequent circuit to process.
[0121] R123, R116, R126 (all take 20K ± 0.5% in this embodiment) are pull-down resistors. They are connected between the output side of the optocoupler and the ground. When the pull-down resistors cooperate with the photosensitive transistors of the optocoupler, it can ensure that the low level of the optocoupler output signal is in a stable low level state, improving the stability of the signal.
[0122] As Figure 16 shown, in the signal output module, M16 is a connector for outputting the processed code disk signals to the subsequent control circuit (such as a microcontroller). The code disk signals (SPEED_A, SPEED_B, SPEED_C) after being isolated and processed by the optocoupler are connected to other parts of the main board through M16, so that the microcontroller can further process and analyze the code disk signals.
[0123] The remaining structure is the same as that of Embodiment 3.
[0124] The signal transmission process of the code disk input interface 202: The encoder outputs differential signals (SPEEDA+, SPEEDA-, SPEEDB+, SPEEDB-, SPEEDZ+, SPEEDZ-), which, after being preliminarily processed by pull-up resistors (such as R115) and filter capacitors (such as C31), enter the input side of the optocouplers (U9, U10); inside the optocouplers, when the light-emitting diodes on the input side receive the encoder signals, they emit light to turn on the photosensitive transistors on the output side. For example, when the SPEEDA+ signal is at a high level, the corresponding light-emitting diode conducts, the photosensitive transistor conducts, and the SPEED_A- signal on the output side is at a low level; when the SPEEDA+ signal is at a low level, the light-emitting diode is cut off, the photosensitive transistor is cut off, and under the action of the pull-down resistor (such as R123), the SPEED_A- signal is at a high level; the signals (SPEED_A-, SPEED_B-, SPEED_C-) processed by the optocouplers are output to the subsequent control circuit, such as a microcontroller, through the connector M16. The microcontroller calculates information such as the position and speed of the encoder based on these signals. At the same time, during the signal transmission process, diodes (or components after being changed to resistors) perform operations such as clamping or current limiting on the signals to ensure the integrity of the signals and the safety of the circuit.
[0125] Embodiment 5
[0126] Referring to Figures 1-16 , this is the fifth embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides: 2 CAN communication interfaces, 1 RS485 communication interface, and 1 RS232 communication interface; 3 encoder input interfaces 202; an expansion interface 204 for interface expansion, including 2 FT3 interfaces, and the functions of each interface have been described in detail above.
[0127] In addition, the main board interface 200 in this embodiment further includes: at least one Ethernet interface for monitoring the system; 9 Hall sampling interfaces, which include Hall power output for acquisition; 32 AD sampling interfaces for Hall acquisition on this board; at least one Chopper optical port, which includes 3 receiving ends and 3 sending ends for connecting the IGBT drive board; at least three input interfaces, which are 24V inputs; at least four output interfaces, which are 220V dry contacts; at least twelve IGBT interfaces, which are divided into 2 circuits on the machine side and 2 circuits on the network side; and a board power supply that provides 15V voltage.

[0132] The above Tables 3 - 5 respectively show the PWM signal wiring terminals of the A - phase, B - phase, and C - phase of the 30 - core grid - side of the wind power converter controller. The PWM signal terminals are composed of multiple pins. Among them, the even - numbered pins are arranged on the upper layer of the main board 100, and the odd - numbered pins are arranged on the lower layer of the main board 100. Similarly, the identification part of this embodiment sets a triangular identification at the No. 1 pin, and the direction of the triangular tip is the wiring direction. The multiple pins are used to output PWM signals. These pins are connected to the PWM drive circuit and the output power module, and can be used to control the switching state of power devices (such as IGBTs) to achieve precise control of loads such as motors. Among them, SO_NA, SO_NB, and SO_NC are all module faults, and FOUT_NA, FOUT_NB, and FOUT_NC are all module temperatures. During operation, the micro - controller generates PWM signals, and the PWM signals are amplified by the drive circuit to drive power devices such as IGBTs. The IGBT controls the power output of the load according to the duty cycle of the PWM signal. In addition, the PWM signal wiring terminals of the A - phase, B - phase, and C - phase on the two - machine - side of the 30 - core wind power converter controller respectively correspond to the P7, P8, and P9 terminals of the main board 100, and the P14, P17, and P19 terminals of the main board 100.
