Description

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power supply management technology, and in particular to a modular management method and related equipment for a power supply management system. Background Technology

[0002] In scenarios such as data centers and industrial automation, power supply systems need to provide different power specifications (e.g., AC12V / 24V, DC5V / 12V) for diverse devices (such as servers, sensors, and controllers). Traditional power supply systems adopt a centralized design, with power supply units and interface circuits fixedly integrated in a single chassis.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" or "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0042] For ease of understanding, the specific process of the embodiments of the present invention is described below. The first aspect of the present invention provides a modular management method for a power supply management system. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The power supply management system includes multiple power modules designed based on different power supply requirements, multiple interface modules adapted to different types of load devices, and a core control module for coordinating the operation of the multiple power modules and the multiple interface modules. The interface modules are connected to the power modules and distribute power to the load devices.

[0043] In this invention, the power supply module functions to provide power output of different specifications. The power supply module has the following characteristics: (1) Diversification: It provides multiple AC / DC voltages (such as AC12V, AC24V, DC5V, DC12V) and different power capacities. (2) Standardized interface: All power supply modules use a unified physical and electrical interface and can be hot-swapped into the slots provided by the system. (3) Plug and play: To increase power supply capacity, simply insert a new module; to replace / upgrade, simply replace a specific module. (4) Intelligent sensing: The built-in metering IC (such as ADE7953) measures key parameters (voltage, current, power, energy), and the data is processed by the onboard MCU (such as AT89C51) and reported through the RS485 interface. That is, in an optional embodiment of this invention, each power supply module is designed based on different specifications, each specification of the power supply module has different voltage output and power capacity, each power supply module has a unified interface standard, and each power supply module has a built-in metering IC for measuring power supply parameter data and an MCU chip for independent communication with the core control module.

[0044] In this invention, the interface module's main function is to connect the power supply module to various electrical devices. The interface module has the following characteristics: (1) Diversification: It provides different types of physical interfaces (such as sockets of different specifications, terminal blocks, etc.). (2) Standardized design: The connection with the power supply module adopts a standard interface, and the quantity and type can be flexibly configured. (3) On-demand configuration: The interface module can be added or removed or the interface type can be changed according to the actual needs of the connected devices.

[0045] In this invention, the core control module functions primarily as the brain and coordination center of the system. The core control module has the following characteristics: (1) Coordination control: managing the operation of all power modules and device interface modules. (2) Status monitoring: collecting and processing data such as voltage, current, and power from each power module in real time. (3) Providing main control logic: executing software processes.

[0046] See Figure 2 The modular management method includes:

[0047] S100. The core control module monitors the insertion and removal status of the hot-swappable power modules in the system in real time. In this invention, the slot detection technology mainly uses the I2C protocol + PCA9555 (I / O expansion chip). The principle is to detect which physical slot the power module is inserted into, and use the GPIO port status change (high / low level) of the PCA9555 chip to determine the insertion and removal event.

[0048] In an optional embodiment of step S100 of the present invention, the real-time monitoring of the insertion and removal status of the hot-swappable power modules in the system by the core control module includes: controlling the GPIO port of the PCA9555 chip based on the I2C protocol by the core control module to detect the level changes of each slot in the system in real time; when the level of a slot in the system is detected to change from high to low, it is determined that the power module is inserted in the system.

[0049] S200. When the insertion of the power module is detected, the communication address of the power module is automatically obtained and stored in the address table. In this invention, the address acquisition technology mainly uses I2C protocol + PCA9548 (I2C multiplexer) + PCA8574 (I / O expansion chip, installed on the power module). The working principle is that when a new power module is detected, the corresponding channel is selected through PCA9548. The GPIO status of the PCA8574 of the power module on that channel is read through I2C. The GPIO status of PCA8574 is determined by the hardware settings on the power module (such as DIP switches or resistor networks), and this status encodes the Modbus slave address of the power module. The master controller obtains and stores this address for subsequent communication.

[0050] In an optional embodiment of step S200 of the present invention, the step of automatically obtaining the communication address of the power module and storing it in the address table when the power module is detected to be inserted includes: controlling the PCA9548 chip to select the target slot channel into which the power module is inserted via the I2C protocol; reading the GPIO port status of the PCA8574 chip connected to the target slot channel; and mapping the GPIO port status of the PCA8574 chip to the slave device address of the MODBUS protocol as the communication address of the power module.

[0051] S300. Based on the communication address, establish a communication connection with the power module via the MODBUS protocol. In this invention, the communication control technology mainly uses the Modbus RTU protocol (based on the RS485 physical layer). The function is to communicate with the MCU on each of the power modules via the Modbus protocol according to the communication address in the address table.

[0052] S400. Periodically read power supply parameter data from the power supply module. This power supply parameter data includes voltage, current, and power. In this invention, the data reading process mainly involves sending a Modbus read register command (function code 0x03) to a specified slave address to request data such as voltage, current, and power (this data is stored in specific registers of the power supply module's MCU chip, such as register 0000 storing voltage and current data in the example). The response processing mainly involves parsing the data frame returned by the power supply module (containing address, function code, data length, data value, and CRC checksum).

[0053] In an optional embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, the step of periodically reading power supply parameter data from the power module includes: periodically sending a query message to the power module, wherein the query message includes a communication address field (using the device address as the communication address of the power module), a function code field, a start register address field, a register quantity field, and a CRC check field; parsing the response message returned by the power module, and extracting the power supply parameter data in the register from the response message.

[0054] S500: Generate control commands based on the power supply parameter data or user instructions, and send the control commands to the power module for execution via the MODBUS protocol. In this invention, the core control module receives and processes the real-time power data (voltage, current, power, etc.) of the power module. Based on preset strategies (such as overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, load balancing) or user instructions, it generates control commands (such as turning a specific power output on / off). These control commands are then sent to the power module for execution. The process of sending control commands can involve sending Modbus write register or write coil commands (such as function codes 0x06, 0x10, 0x05, 0x0F) to a specified slave address to control the power supply status and switching status of the power module, etc.

[0055] In an optional embodiment of step S500 of the present invention, generating control commands based on the power supply parameter data or user instructions includes: when the voltage or current exceeds a preset threshold, generating a power-off command and constructing a control message for the power-off command. The control message includes a communication address field (using the device address as the communication address of the power module), a function code field, a target register address field, an instruction data field, and a CRC check field. Generating control commands based on the power supply parameter data or user instructions further includes: dynamically adjusting the output parameters of the power module according to configuration instructions from the system user interface; and automatically identifying the interface type of the interface module and assigning a matching power module when a new interface module is added. The user interface of the present invention can display the overall system status (status of each module, power supply parameters, alarm information) to the user and receive control commands input by the user (such as manually switching an output on / off or setting parameters). The user commands are then transmitted to the power module for execution.

[0056] The overall process of the modular management method of the power supply management system of this invention can be summarized as follows: Initialization: The system starts up and initializes the hardware (PCA9555, PCA9548, RS485 port) and software modules (Modbus stack). Slot detection: The PCA9555 is periodically scanned to detect slot status changes (insertion / removal). Address acquisition: Upon detection of an insertion event, the Modbus address of the newly inserted power module is read via PCA9548 and PCA8574 and stored in the address table. Communication establishment: Based on the address in the address table, the communication control mechanism attempts to establish a Modbus connection (polling) with the power module at that address. Data reading and control (loop): The communication control mechanism periodically polls all online power modules to read key parameters. The communication control mechanism transmits the read data to the core control module. The core control module analyzes the data and makes logical judgments (such as protection, policy execution, and responding to user commands). The core control module sends the control commands to be executed to the communication control mechanism. The communication control mechanism sends control commands to the target power module via Modbus. User interaction (continuous): The user interface continuously displays status information. The user inputs commands through the interface → the commands are transmitted to the core control module → triggering the control process.

[0057] In summary, the main innovations of this invention are: Hardware modularization + standardized interface: This core innovation enables flexible plug-in and combination at the physical level. Intelligent power modules: Each power module has its own metering and microcontroller, becoming an intelligent slave node. Automatic discovery and addressing: Physical plug-in detection is performed using the PCA9555, and automatic address reading is achieved using the PCA9548 (I2CMUX) + PCA8574 (GPIO Expander). The software automatically identifies and manages new modules. Standardized communication protocol (Modbus RTU over RS485): This enables reliable and standardized data exchange and control between the master controller and numerous intelligent power modules. Layered software architecture: Clear module division (detection, addressing, communication, management, interface) makes the software structure clear, easy to maintain, and expandable. Automated workflow: From module insertion detection → address acquisition → communication establishment → data acquisition → status monitoring → control execution → user interaction, a complete automated closed loop is formed.
