Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial control technology, and more specifically to a power supply system for a DCS control cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, more and more high-tech information technologies are being widely applied in various industries and fields. Currently, DCS systems require 220V and 24V power supplies to power the system cabinets, external valves, and instruments. They are widely used in various industrial control fields, and the control field is gradually shifting towards automation and intelligence. To reduce the safety risks of control systems and improve the social and economic benefits of enterprises, the stability of DCS control systems is particularly important, especially in fields such as the production and storage of hazardous chemicals. However, abnormal or unreliable power supply to DCS systems can seriously affect production and cause major disasters for enterprises. Therefore, DCS systems need to be configured or designed with a reliable power supply system to ensure stable system operation and facilitate online inspection and maintenance.

[0003] Currently, key DCS systems, instruments, and equipment in production processes or safety and environmental protection procedures all use 24VDC or 220V power supply. Once the power supply fails, it will cause equipment shutdown, system shutdown, or safety and environmental accidents. In traditional DCS control systems, many DCS control system manufacturers design the system power supply so that all 220V power in the cabinet comes from a dual power switch or UPS. If any one of the dual power switch or UPS devices fails, the DCS system will be paralyzed. Secondly, the maintenance of dual power switch or UPS requires the system to be shut down, which seriously affects the normal production of enterprises and may even bring safety hazards or risks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a DCS control cabinet power supply system. By using this invention, the normal operation of the DCS system can be guaranteed when one of the dual power supply switching devices or UPS devices fails. Secondly, when the dual power supply switching device or UPS is under maintenance, it can be handled without shutting down the system.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a DCS control cabinet power supply system, comprising: The first power supply circuit and the second power supply circuit each include a 220V power supply circuit and a 24V power supply circuit. The 220V power supply circuit is used to provide 220V AC power to the DCS control system, and the 24V power supply circuit is used to provide 24V DC power to the DCS control system. Under normal circumstances, the first power supply circuit provides 220V AC and 24V DC power to the DCS control system. When the first power supply circuit malfunctions or is under maintenance, the second power supply circuit can provide 220V AC and 24V DC power to the DCS control system.
