The second ground terminal of the first digital isolator U9 is grounded.

[0042] Optionally, the second isolation circuit includes a sixty-fourth resistor R64, a sixty-sixth resistor R66, a second digital isolator U12, a sixty-third resistor R63, and a sixty-fifth resistor R65. The second signal input terminal of the second digital isolator U12 is connected to the second terminal of the sixty-fourth resistor R64 and the second terminal of the sixty-sixth resistor R66.

The second terminal of the sixty-fifth resistor R65 is connected to the first terminal of the twenty-two capacitor C22.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first digital isolator U9 and the second digital isolator U12 can both be dual-channel digital isolators, and their models can be the same, both being ADUM1200. Specifically, the signals received by the first data isolator from the microcontroller U2 are DMX_CON and TXD, and DMX_CON1 and TXD1 are correspondingly output according to these two signals. The first voltage terminal of the first digital isolator U9 is connected to the power supply corresponding to the control circuit. The signal output by the second digital isolator U12 to the microcontroller U2 is RXD1, and the signal it receives from the signal forwarding circuit is RSD. Isolation between input and output is achieved through the first digital isolator U9 and the second digital isolator U12. Moreover, the first isolation circuit and the second isolation circuit have a signal amplification function, which can effectively increase the number of devices connected to the communication circuit and can extend the signal transmission distance, further improving the performance and stability of the system. Also, these two circuits can isolate the input signal and the output signal, avoiding direct connection between the signals.

[0044] Optionally, the signal forwarding circuit can be a DM512 circuit, and balanced communication between RS-485 and RS-422 is achieved through this circuit. This signal forwarding circuit converts the TTL level output from the microcontroller U2 into a 485 signal level. Among them, the signal forwarding circuit includes a repeater U10 and a fiftieth resistor R50. The voltage terminal of the repeater U10 is connected to the first end of the twenty-second capacitor C22. The signal receiving end of the repeater U10 is connected to the output end of the first isolation circuit. The signal sending end of the repeater U10 is connected to the input end of the second isolator circuit. The first end of the fiftieth resistor R50 is connected to the first differential signal end of the repeater U10, and the second end of the fiftieth resistor R50 is connected to the second differential signal end of the repeater U10.

[0045] In one embodiment, the repeater U10 can be an RS-485 bus transceiver, and its model can be TP8485E. It receives DMX_CON1 sent by the first isolation circuit through the third pin and the second pin (i.e., the DE pin and the RE pin), receives the TXD1 signal sent by the first isolation circuit through the fourth pin, and sends the RXD signal to the second isolation circuit through the first pin. Moreover, the repeater U10 sends the first differential signal and the second differential signal through the sixth pin and the seventh pin. Specifically, when the microcontroller U2 sends data, the output TXD is at a high level, and DMX_CON is also at a high level. Therefore, TXD1 is at a high level, and DMX_CON1 is also at a high level. The signal DMX_CON1 is transmitted to the transceiver, and the transceiver is used as a transmitter to convert the TTL level into a 485 signal level and output the signal corresponding to the 485 level. When the microcontroller U2 does not send data, the output DMX_CON is at a low level. Therefore, DMX_CON1 is at a low level, and the transceiver is used as a receiver to convert the 485 level into a TTL signal level. The sixth pin and the seventh pin are in a high-impedance state, and the signal is controlled by the other end, and the microcontroller U2 receives the signal. During use, to make the chip more stable, a fiftieth resistor R50 is added before the differential signal for impedance matching to improve the anti-interference ability. The signal forwarding circuit uses an RS-485 bus transceiver, which adopts balanced transmission and differential reception, has high receiving sensitivity and strong anti-interference ability, and the signal transmission distance can reach 1000 meters. This characteristic enables the DMX512 signal to maintain a stable transmission quality in a complex or interference-prone environment.

[0046] Optionally, to achieve isolation between the signal forwarding circuit and the controlled device, the communication circuit further includes a signal protection circuit, and the signal protection circuit is connected to the first isolation circuit and the second isolation circuit through the signal forwarding circuit.

[0047] Optionally, the signal protection circuit includes a first fuse F1 and a second fuse F2. The first end of the first fuse F1 is connected to the first differential signal terminal, and the second end of the second fuse F2 is connected to the second differential signal terminal.

[0048] In one embodiment, the first fuse F1 and the second fuse F2 are self-resetting fuses. When an overcurrent or short-circuit fault occurs in the circuit, the current is quickly cut off through the self-resetting fuse to prevent the large current from damaging the circuit or device. Moreover, after the fault is eliminated, the self-resetting fuse can automatically return to its original state and re-close the circuit. This improves the safety and reliability of the circuit, and at the same time reduces the maintenance cost and maintenance time.

[0049] Optionally, the signal protection circuit further includes a first transient suppression diode Z1, a second transient suppression diode Z2, a forty-first resistor R41, and a fifty-second resistor R52. The anode of the second transient suppression diode Z2 is connected to the first differential signal terminal and the first end of the forty-first resistor R41. The cathode of the second transient suppression diode Z2 is connected to the cathode of the first transient suppression diode Z1 and grounded. The anode of the first transient suppression diode Z1 is connected to the second end of the fiftieth resistor R50 and the first end of the fifty-second resistor R52. The second end of the fifty-second resistor R52 is grounded.

[0050] In one embodiment, the signal protection circuit further includes a fifty-sixth resistor R56. The first end of the fifty-sixth resistor R56 is grounded, and the second end is connected to the second end of the fifty-second resistor R52. Among them, electrostatic protection and surge protection are achieved through the first transient suppression diode Z1 and the second transient suppression diode Z2. The transient suppression diode is used to suppress the external voltage from being too high instantaneously. When a surge pulse voltage appears instantaneously in the protected circuit, the transient suppression diode can quickly break down in a Zener manner, changing from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state, shunting and clamping the surge voltage, so as to protect each component in the circuit from being damaged by the instantaneous surge pulse voltage. And the purpose of setting the forty-first resistor R41 and the fifty-second resistor R52 is to ensure that there is a fixed differential voltage in the idle or open state of the circuit, thereby avoiding communication errors or failures caused by uncertain states.

The signal forwarding circuit includes a DMX512 circuit. The first isolation circuit is used to send a first isolation signal to the signal forwarding circuit, and the first isolation signal is generated based on the signal sent by the control circuit. The second isolation circuit is used to send a second isolation signal to the control circuit, and the second isolation signal is generated based on the signal sent by the signal forwarding circuit. The embodiment of the present application can realize the isolation of the input signal and the output signal between the control circuit and the signal forwarding circuit, avoid interference between signals, effectively increase the number of access devices, and can improve the safety and reliability of the circuit and reduce the maintenance cost of the circuit.

The lighting control system includes the communication circuit as described in the above embodiment, and the communication circuit can be communicatively connected to one or more LED lights or other lighting fixtures.
