Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of communication interface conversion, in particular to a multi-communication interface conversion device. Background Art

[0002] Due to the update and development of electronic products, different devices need to communicate with each other, different systems need to communicate with each other, and different products need to communicate with each other. However, each product or device has a different communication method, and it is difficult to unify the communication interface. Therefore, a device is needed to convert the communication interface, to interconnect the signals of the two communication interfaces, and to realize the mutual connection between the two different products. It is necessary to know that the communication interface refers to the interface between the central processing unit and the standard communication subsystem. For example, RS485 and TTL are two types of communication interfaces.

[0003] TTL stands for transistor-transistor logic level. TTL level signal stipulates that +5V is equivalent to logic "1" and 0V is equivalent to logic "0" (when binary is used to represent data). This data communication and level specification method is called TTL (transistor-transistor logic level) signal system. RS485 is a standard that defines the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers in balanced digital multi-point systems. The standard is defined by the Telecommunications Industry Association and the Electronic Industry Alliance. Digital communication networks using this standard can effectively transmit signals over long distances and in environments with high electronic noise.

[0004] TTL and RS485 refer to different interface standards. These two different interface standards cannot communicate directly and require a conversion device.

[0005] At present, the conversion devices are all one-to-one, that is, one TTL to one RS485. This conversion method is the most common method at this stage. Although the one-to-one conversion method solves the problem that the two interface standards of TTL and RS485 cannot communicate directly, when the TTL signals of multiple devices are connected to the RS485 signal at the same time, this one-to-one conversion method cannot solve this problem. In addition, the converters of one TTL to one RS485 on the market are simple in design, have no protection function, and have no anti-interference function. If the signal line is slightly interfered by the outside world, errors will occur in the reception of the signal. Utility Model Content

[0057] This embodiment adopts a signal isolation method and adds a photoelectric coupler to isolate the signal. Since the photoelectric coupler is unidirectional, the unidirectional transmission of the signal can be realized, so that the input end and the output end are completely electrically isolated, the output signal has no effect on the input end, the anti-interference ability is strong, and the operation is stable. Since the photoelectric coupler is photoelectric, it has a long service life and gets rid of the defect of the mechanical contacts of the relay with a certain number of closures. It solves the problem that the existing products will affect the signal communication when encountering interference due to the lack of signal isolation. Therefore, this embodiment can make the product signal communication more stable by adding signal isolation.
