Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of machine tools, and more particularly to an I / O input circuit system for a FANUC CNC system. Background Technology
[0002] In the existing FANUC CNC system's I / O input circuit, multiple machine tool-side switch signal groups share a single 1A fuse. A short circuit in any of these switch signal circuits will directly cause the fuse to blow. Due to the lack of an independent fault detection mechanism, maintenance requires checking all switch signal circuits one by one. This is especially time-consuming and labor-intensive for intermittent short circuit faults, necessitating multiple fuse replacements to pinpoint the problem, severely impacting equipment maintenance efficiency and normal operation.
[0003] The main drawbacks of existing technologies include: difficulty in fault location: single-fuse protection cannot distinguish the specific short-circuited switch signal circuit; high maintenance costs: frequent fuse blowouts lead to frequent replacement of consumables; and long downtime: the troubleshooting process is complex and prolongs the equipment fault recovery cycle. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an IO input circuit system for a FANUC CNC system, which solves the problem that in the existing IO input circuit of FANUC CNC systems, multiple machine tool-side switch signal groups share a single 1A fuse. When a short circuit occurs in any switch signal circuit, it is impossible to determine the faulty switch signal circuit, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive repairs, which seriously affects the normal operation and maintenance efficiency of the equipment.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: an IO input circuit system for a FANUC CNC system, including an IO unit input interface, a machine tool-side switch signal group, and a current detection and protection device. The I / O unit input interface includes a high-level signal output interface, a low-level signal output interface, and a set of I / O signal input interfaces. The high-level signal output interface is connected to a 1A fuse. The machine tool-side switch signal group includes a set of switch signals, with each switch signal's output interface and I / O signal input interface connected one-to-one. The current detection and protection device is equipped with a high-level signal input interface, a low-level signal input interface, and a set of protection signal output interfaces. The high-level signal input interface is connected to the high-level signal output interface in the IO unit input interface, and the low-level signal input interface is connected to the low-level signal output interface. The protection signal output interface is connected to the input terminal interface of the switch signal in a one-to-one correspondence. Each current detection module includes a sampling resistor R1, a control chip U1, a MOSFET Q1, an auxiliary capacitor C1, an auxiliary resistor R2, and a reset button SB. One end of the sampling resistor R1, the drain of the MOSFET Q1, and the OUT pin of the control chip U1 are connected to a protection output interface; the other end of the sampling resistor R1 is connected to the auxiliary capacitor C1; the other end of the auxiliary capacitor C1, the GND pin of the control chip U1, and one end of the auxiliary resistor R2 are connected to a low-level signal input interface; the other end of the auxiliary resistor R2 is connected to the gate of the MOSFET Q1; the source of the MOSFET Q1, the IN pin of the control chip U1, and the high-level signal input interface are connected; the gate of the MOSFET Q1 is connected to the GATE pin of the control chip U1; the VSS pin of the control chip U1 is connected between the sampling resistor R1 and the auxiliary capacitor C1; and the reset button SB is connected between the OFF pin of the control chip U1 and the low-level signal input interface.
[0006] Furthermore, each current detection module is also equipped with an indicator LED. The indicator LED is connected between the gate of the MOSFET Q1 and the auxiliary resistor R2. The positive terminal of the indicator LED is connected to the gate of the MOSFET Q1, and the negative terminal of the indicator LED is connected to the auxiliary resistor R2.
[0007] Furthermore, MOSFET Q1 is an AO3400 enhancement-mode MOSFET, sampling resistor R1 is a metal film resistor, and control chip U1 is an LM5050-1.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes an interface converter, which is equipped with a set of input / output interfaces for connecting the machine tool-side switch signal group and the IO input interface in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting up a current detection protection device, and setting up multiple sets of current detection modules within it, each corresponding to an IO signal input interface and a switch signal, the protection and independent status of each switch signal's return path can be achieved. This effectively solves the problem in the existing FANUC CNC system's IO input circuit system where each switch signal in the machine tool side switch signal group shares a large 1A fuse. When a short circuit occurs in any switch signal's circuit, it is impossible to determine the circuit where the faulty switch signal is located, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive repairs that seriously affect the normal operation and maintenance efficiency of the equipment.
[0010] By setting a reset button, single-point fault diagnosis can be achieved.
[0011] Each current detection module shares the electrical signal provided by the IO unit input interface and retains a large 1A fuse, which can achieve dual protection.
[0012] The indicator LEDs allow for precise location of corresponding current detection modules and accurate identification of short circuits in the circuits containing associated switch signals. When a fault occurs, it eliminates the need to individually check each circuit in the machine tool's switch signal group, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and reducing difficulty. Fault location and recovery processes no longer require repeated replacement of large 1A fuses, greatly reducing machine downtime, effectively improving production efficiency, and lowering production costs.
[0013] It can reduce the wear and tear of large 1A fuses and extend the service life of machine tool I / O modules.

The I / O unit input interface 1 includes a high-level signal output interface 5, a low-level signal output interface 6, and a set of I / O signal input interfaces 7. The high-level signal output interface 5 is connected to a 1A fuse 8. The machine tool side switch signal group 3 includes a set of switch signals 13, and the output terminal interface of each switch signal 13 is connected to the IO signal input interface 7 in a one-to-one correspondence. The current detection and protection device 4 is equipped with a high-level signal input interface 9, a low-level signal input interface 10, and a set of protection signal output interfaces 11. The high-level signal input interface 9 is connected to the high-level signal output interface 5 in the IO unit input interface 1, and the low-level signal input interface 10 is connected to the low-level signal output interface 6. The protection signal output interface 11 is connected to the input terminal interface of the switch signal 13 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each current detection module 12 includes a sampling resistor R1, a control chip U1, a MOSFET Q1, an auxiliary capacitor C1, an auxiliary resistor R2, and a reset button SB. One end of the sampling resistor R1, the drain of the MOSFET Q1, and the OUT pin of the control chip U1 are connected to a protection output interface; the other end of the sampling resistor R1 is connected to the auxiliary capacitor C1; the other end of the auxiliary capacitor C1, the GND pin of the control chip U1, and one end of the auxiliary resistor R2 are connected to the low-level signal input interface 10; the other end of the auxiliary resistor R2 is connected to the gate of the MOSFET Q1; the source of the MOSFET Q1, the IN pin of the control chip U1, and the high-level signal input interface 9 are connected; the gate of the MOSFET Q1 is connected to the GATE pin of the control chip U1; the VSS pin of the control chip U1 is connected between the sampling resistor R1 and the auxiliary capacitor C1; and the reset button SB is connected between the OFF pin of the control chip U1 and the low-level signal input interface 10.
[0019] Each current detection module 12 is also equipped with an indicator LED. The indicator LED is connected between the gate of the MOSFET Q1 and the auxiliary resistor R2. The positive terminal of the indicator LED is connected to the gate of the MOSFET Q1, and the negative terminal of the indicator LED is connected to the auxiliary resistor R2.
[0020] The MOSFET Q1 is an AO3400 enhancement-mode MOSFET, the sampling resistor R1 is a metal film resistor, and the control chip U1 is an LM5050-1.
[0021] The IO input circuit system of the Benfanuc CNC system also includes an interface converter 2, which is equipped with a set of input / output interfaces for connecting the machine tool-side switch signal group 3 and the IO input interface in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0022] The number of current detection modules 12 is the same as the number of switch signals 13 and IO signal input interfaces 7, and the three are connected in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0024] Normal state: When the switch is closed, the voltage drop of sampling R1 is ≤50mV, the GATE pin of the control chip LM5050-1 outputs a high level, the MOSFET Q1 is turned on, the indicator LED is lit, and the signal is normally input to the machine tool's PLC.
[0025] Short circuit protection status: When an external signal is short-circuited, the current instantaneously exceeds the threshold, the voltage drop of the sampling resistor R1 is >50mV, the control circuit LM5050-1 shuts off the OUT pin, the MOSFET Q1 is cut off, the indicator LED goes out, and the fault circuit is cut off; if the control chip LM5050-1 fails, the 1A fuse of the machine tool switch side IO module blows as a backup protection, and all need to be checked.
[0026] When the switch is open: the current is 0A, the voltage drop across R1 is 0mV, the control chip LM5050-1 maintains a high level at GATE, the indicator LED lights up, and the machine tool's PLC detects a low level.
[0027] Reset mechanism: After troubleshooting, the SB manual reset button must be pressed to restore the conduction state of the corresponding circuit.
