[0017] In one embodiment, the device communication module is a communication transceiver MAX490. The RS422 communication board receives data transmitted by the RS422 communication device through the communication transceiver MAX490, and transmits the instruction data of the MCU main control chip to the RS422 communication device. When transmitting data to the RS422 communication device, the communication transceiver MAX490 is used to receive the data transmitted by the RS422 communication device and transmit the instruction data of the MCU main control chip to the RS422 communication device. This can minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reflections caused by incorrectly terminated cables, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of data transmission.

[0019] In one embodiment, the MCU chip communication module includes a TTL level RXD and a TTL level TXD. The RS422 communication board transmits data to the MCU main control chip through the TTL level RXD, and receives the instruction data transmitted by the MCU main control chip through the TTL level TXD. When communicating with the MCU main control chip, the data signal can be converted into a TTL level signal through the TTL level RXD, and the level signal can be transmitted to the MCU main control chip through the RXD signal line for reception by the MCU main control chip. The MUC main control chip then transmits the data signal to the system host, allowing the system host to issue instructions to the MCU main control chip according to the data signal, and then converts the system-issued instruction data transmitted by the MCU main control chip into a TTL level signal through the TTL level TXD, and then converts the TTL level signal into an RS422 differential signal through the RS422 communication board for transmission on the RS422 communication link, thereby realizing communication between the RS422 communication board and the MCU main control chip.

[0020] In one embodiment, the optocoupler isolation output module is a photocoupler 6N137, which is used to receive the instruction data transmitted by the MCU chip communication module and isolate the instruction data and transmit it to the device communication module; when transmitting the instruction data signal sent by the MCU main control chip, the photocoupler 6N137 can convert the instruction data signal received at its input end into an optical signal, and transmit the optical signal to its output end through the optical path on it, and then convert the optical signal at its output end back into a data signal and transmit it to the device communication module, physically isolating the output data signal to prevent the signal input from being subject to external electromagnetic interference, thereby improving the stability and reliability of signal processing and realizing the isolated output of the RS422 communication signal.

[0021] In one embodiment, a transient voltage suppressor is provided on the RS422 communication board, and the transient voltage suppressor is used to protect the components on the RS422 communication board from voltage damage. In addition, the communication transceiver MAX490 is provided with RX+, RX-, TX+ and TX- signal differential lines, and the RX+, RX-, TX+ and TX- signal differential lines are connected in parallel to the transient voltage suppressor; when the transient voltage suppressor is connected, the RX+, RX-, TX+ and TX- signal differential lines provided on the communication transceiver MAX490 are connected in parallel to the transient voltage suppressor, The transient voltage suppressor protects both the RX and TX pairs of differential signal lines simultaneously, ensuring that transient overvoltages occurring during both the sending and receiving processes can be effectively suppressed. Moreover, when a transient overvoltage occurs on the RS422 communication board, the transient voltage suppressor can quickly turn on, clamping the overvoltage at a safe level, absorbing the energy generated by the transient overvoltage and directing it to the ground wire or other safe places, effectively blocking potential voltage damage and preventing it from damaging sensitive components on the communication board, thereby protecting circuits and equipment from damage and improving the stability and reliability of the RS422 communication board.

[0022] The working principle of the utility model is: the RS422 communication structure proposed in the present application first provides currents of different voltage levels to various components on the RS422 communication board through an isolated power supply module, and protects various components on the RS422 communication board from voltage damage through a transient voltage suppressor, thereby ensuring the use of various components on the RS422 communication board, and then receives the data transmitted by the RS422 communication device through the communication transceiver MAX490 in the device communication module, and transmits the data to the optocoupler isolation input module, and the photoelectric coupler 6N137 in the optocoupler isolation input module converts the data signal received at its input end into an optical signal, and transmits the optical signal to its output end through the optical path thereon, and then converts the optical signal at its output end back into a data signal and transmits it to the MCU chip communication module, so that the MCU chip communication module transmits the data signal to the MCU main control chip connected to it through the TTL level RXD, and then the MUC main control chip transmits the data signal to the system host, so that the system The host issues instructions to the MCU main control chip according to the data signal, and allows the main control chip to transmit the instruction data to the isolated output module through the TTL level TXD in the MCU chip communication module connected to it. The optocoupler 6N137 in the isolated output module converts the instruction data signal received at its input end into an optical signal, and transmits the optical signal to its output end through the optical path on it. The optical signal at its output end is then converted back into an instruction data signal and transmitted to the communication transceiver MAX490. The communication transceiver MAX490 sends the instruction data signal to the RS422 communication device, completing the transmission of data and instructions in the system. The optocoupler can physically isolate the input and output signals, prevent power interference from other circuits from entering the serial communication, protect other components in the system from ground interference, avoid the situation where the communication circuit is damaged by interference caused by grounding and electromagnetic interference, and affect the communication quality, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the entire system.
