[0012] Example 1
[0013] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the utility model discloses an analog quantity module for an automatic tester of a protection device, comprising a host computer and a CPU processor, wherein the CPU processor is connected to an AC source module, a DC source module, a switching quantity module, an analog quantity module and a communication module; the CPU processor comprises an information collection unit and an information comparison unit, the information collection unit is connected to an AC / DC voltage and current source module, a switching quantity input and output module, an analog quantity input and output module, and a communication detection module, and the information comparison unit is connected to a human-machine interface module; the AC source module and the DC source module comprise a voltage regulator, a transformer, a rectifier and filter circuit, a high-power resistor, a relay, and a contactor; the switching quantity input and output module comprises a switching quantity input circuit and a switching quantity output circuit; the AC source module and the DC source module, the switching quantity input and output module, the analog quantity input and output module, and the communication detection module are led out through an aviation plug and a test line, and the test line is connected to a fixture test pin; the ADC chip in the analog quantity input and output module uses one AD7060 chip and one AD7606-4 chip, and the DAC chip uses two AD5668 chips. The AD7606 is a 16-bit, 8-channel, simultaneous sampling analog-to-digital data acquisition system (DAS), while the AD7606-4 is a 16-bit, 4-channel, simultaneous sampling analog-to-digital data acquisition system. Since the module requires 12 channels of A / D conversion, we need two ADC chips, the AD7606 and AD7606-4, to form the analog data acquisition system. The AD5668 is a low-power, octal, 16-bit, buffered voltage-output DAC. Since our module requires 12 A / D conversion channels, we need two AD5668 chips to form the analog output system.
[0014] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the AC source module and the DC source module, the switching input and output module, the analog input and output module, and the communication detection module of the automatic tester for the protection device are led out through the aviation plug and the test line, the test line is connected to the test pin of the fixture, and the test pin is connected to the device under test through the guide rail and the locking device of the fixture, so that the automatic tester for the protection device does not need to repeatedly disassemble and install the test line when testing different circuits of the same device and different devices, which greatly improves the testing efficiency.
[0015] The automatic tester for protection devices automatically identifies whether the test results are correct according to unified standards and displays the results in a centralized manner to avoid human operational errors. In addition, the automatic tester for protection devices adds a communication detection circuit to detect whether the communication circuit of the relay protection device is intact to avoid misjudgment. Moreover, the automatic tester for protection devices serves as the communication host computer and the relay protection device under test serves as the communication slave computer, which can accurately and quickly identify the quality of the communication hardware.
[0016] The test process of the automatic tester for protection devices: First, set the parameters through the human-machine interface, automatically send analog and digital signals, then obtain the corresponding data of the protection device to be tested from the communication interface according to the communication protocol, compare the sent analog and digital signals with the data retrieved through communication, and automatically make a test conclusion; the test conclusion includes the test conclusions of the analog part, switching part, and protection part of the protection device.
[0017] Each component of the ADC chip features built-in analog input lockout protection, a second-order antialiasing filter, a track-and-hold amplifier, a 16-bit charge-redistribution successive pass analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a flexible digital filter, a 2.5V reference voltage source, a reference voltage buffer, and high-speed serial and parallel interfaces. The AD_SPI_SCK_PIN is connected to DB7, while the remaining pins DB0-DB6 and DB8-DB15 are grounded. A low level for PAR / SER / BYTE SEL enables parallel mode, while a high level enables serial mode. The MCU uses a Microchip SPI interface RAM chip. The ADC chip transmits data to the STM32 via the serial interface, which in turn communicates with the protection device tester's CPU via the CAN bus.
[0018] The AD5668 is a low-power, octal, 16-bit buffered voltage-output DAC. All devices operate from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply with guaranteed monotonicity. The AD5668 is available in a 4mm × 4mm LFCSP and a 16-lead TSSOP package. The AD5668-1 features a 1.25V 5ppm / °C reference with a full-scale output range of 2.5V. The onboard reference is disabled at power-up, allowing the use of an external reference. The internal reference is enabled via a software write. The device also includes a power-on reset circuit that ensures the DAC outputs are powered up to 0V and remain powered until a valid write is made. A power-down feature reduces the device's current consumption to 400nA at 5V. SYNC (synchronization input signal for the data frame) is active low. When the SYNC pin is low, the input shift register is enabled to transfer data on the falling edge of the clock signal. The DAC is updated after the 24th clock cycle. (If the SYNC signal is pulled high before the 24th clock cycle, the write sequence is ignored.) SCLK (serial clock input signal): Data transfer rates up to 30 MHz. Din (serial data input signal): Data (0 or 1) is written to the 24-bit input shift register on each falling edge of the SCLK clock input signal. The ADC chip transmits data to the STM32 via a serial interface, which in turn communicates with the protection device tester's CPU motherboard via the CAN bus.
