[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the power distribution circuit is a circuit for equipment such as packaging, sorting, coding, loading and unloading, lighting, air-conditioning system, power shelf system, unmanned vehicle charging system, and monitoring system. Since the power distribution control principles of each circuit are the same and only the output power is different, only the power distribution circuit of the sorting equipment is used as an example for explanation.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , the remote IO controller includes output part, input part, Ethernet part and power supply part, among which:

[0030] The input part contains multiple inputs, one of which cooperates with the local control / remote control selection circuit to realize the conversion between local control state and remote control state; the remaining inputs correspond to each output in the output part one by one.

[0033] The Ethernet part is used to receive control instructions issued by the control cabin and report the opening and closing status information of the circuit breakers in the power distribution circuit.

[0034] When in remote control state, the Ethernet part parses the distribution circuit corresponding to the controlled device from the control instruction, so that the input of the path corresponding to the distribution circuit in the input part is turned on, thereby making the output of the corresponding path in the output part turned on, the circuit breaker in the distribution circuit closed, and the distribution circuit output; the Ethernet part reports the status information of the distribution circuit as the output status.

[0035] Figure 1In the given example, the output part has 8-way output, wherein the 1st to 7th output respectively corresponds to different power distribution circuits; taking the 1st output as an example, DO1-L and DO1-R are the 1st output of the remote IO controller, and DO1-L and DO1-R are equivalent to the two poles of a single-pole switch, when the output is high, DO1-L and DO1-R are connected, and when the output is low, DO1-L and DO1-R are disconnected; the input part has 8-way, wherein the 1st is matched with the local control / remote control selection circuit to realize the conversion between the local control state and the remote control state; the 2nd to 8th corresponds to the 1st to 7th of the output part. Taking the 1st as an example, DI1 is the 1st input of the remote IO controller, when DI1 is connected with GND, the input is valid, indicating that the current is in the local control state, and is reported through the Ethernet, when DI1 is disconnected with GND, the input is invalid.

[0036] As shown in Figure 2 It is an AC / DC power converter which converts AC 220V power into DC 24V power to supply power for the remote IO controller.

[0037] As shown in Figure 3 The circuit is a local control / remote control selection circuit, which comprises a local control circuit, a remote control circuit, a local control / remote control selection switch SA1 and a relay K1, wherein SA1 is a double-pole two-position selection switch with local control and remote control selection positions; K1 is a double-pole relay.

[0038] When SA1 is placed in the "local control" position, 13 and 14 of SA1 are connected, and 21 and 22 are disconnected, at this time, the 1st input of the remote IO controller is connected with GND, and the remote IO controller will report the state of the selection switch as "local control" state through the Ethernet part, at the same time, the line package of K1 is de-energized, the 6 and 7 contacts of K1 are connected, and the 3 and 4 contacts are disconnected, at this time, the local control circuit is in the power supply state, the control switch on the local control circuit is in the enabled state, the remote control circuit is in the de-energized state, and the control switch on the remote control circuit is in the non-enabled state; when SA1 is placed in the "remote control" position, 13 and 14 of SA1 are disconnected, and 21 and 22 are connected, at this time, the 1st input of the remote IO controller is disconnected with GND, and the remote IO controller will report the state of the selection switch as "remote control" state through the Ethernet part, at the same time, the line package of K1 is energized, the 6 and 7 contacts of K1 are disconnected, and the 3 and 4 contacts are connected, at this time, the local control circuit is in the de-energized state, the control switch on the local control circuit is in the non-enabled state, the remote control circuit is in the power supply state, and the control switch on the remote control circuit is in the enabled state.

[0039] As shown in Figure 4 It is an example of the application of the utility model on the sorting group packaging coding power distribution circuit; the example comprises a circuit breaker, an electric operating mechanism, a selection switch, a relay and an indicator, wherein:

[0040] QF2 is an auxiliary circuit breaker installed on the sorting and distribution power supply line; MOD is an electric operating mechanism powered by AC 220V. When S2 and S3 are connected, the electric operating mechanism performs corresponding actions to change the circuit breaker from the open state to the closed state. When S3 and S4 are connected, the electric operating mechanism performs corresponding actions to change the circuit breaker from the closed state to the open state.

[0041] The local operation switch SA2 is a single-pole selector switch; K2 is a double-pole relay; HL2 is the local power distribution output status indicator; when Figure 3 When SA1 in the circuit is placed in the "local control" position, the control switch on the local control line is in the enabled state (i.e. 203 is in the power supply state and 201 is in the power-off state). At this time, if SA2 is closed, the coil of K2 is energized, contacts 3 and 4 are connected, contacts 3 and 2 are disconnected, and the electric operating mechanism performs the closing action, so that the circuit breaker changes from the separated state to the closed state, and the power distribution of this line is output. At the same time, the HL2 indicator light lights up to indicate that the power distribution of this line is being output. The auxiliary circuit of the QF2 circuit breaker is closed, so that the second input of the remote IO controller is connected to GND, and the remote IO control The controller will report the status information of the power distribution output of this line (i.e. the opening and closing status information of the circuit breaker) as the output status; if the operation SA2 is disconnected, the coil of K2 loses power, contacts 3 and 4 are disconnected, contacts 3 and 2 are connected, and the electric operating mechanism performs the opening action, so that the circuit breaker changes from the closed state to the separated state, and the power distribution of this line stops outputting. At the same time, the HL2 indicator light goes out to indicate that there is no output of this power distribution. The auxiliary circuit of the QF2 circuit breaker is disconnected, so that the second input of the remote IO controller is disconnected from GND, and the remote IO controller will report the status information of the power distribution output of this line as no output state.

[0042] when Figure 3When SA1 in is placed in the "remote control" position, the control switch on the remote control line is in the enabled state (i.e. 201 is in the power supply state and 203 is in the power-off state). At this time, if the remote IO controller receives the closing command of this circuit, DO1-L and DO1-R are connected, the coil of K2 is energized, contacts 3 and 4 are connected, contacts 3 and 2 are disconnected, and the electric operating mechanism performs the closing action, so that the circuit breaker changes from the separated state to the closed state, and the power distribution of this circuit is output. At the same time, the HL2 indicator light lights up to indicate that the power distribution of this circuit is being output. The auxiliary circuit of the QF2 circuit breaker is closed, so that the second input of the remote IO controller is connected to GND. If the circuit breaker is connected, the remote IO controller will report the status information of the power distribution output of this line as output status; if the remote IO controller receives the disconnection command of this line, DO1-L and DO1-R will be disconnected, the coil of K2 will lose power, contacts 3 and 4 will be disconnected, contacts 3 and 2 will be connected, and the electric operating mechanism will perform the opening action, so that the circuit breaker changes from the closed state to the separated state, and the power distribution of this line will stop outputting. At the same time, the HL2 indicator light will go out to indicate that the power distribution of this line has no output. The auxiliary circuit of the QF2 circuit breaker is disconnected, so that the second input of the remote IO controller is disconnected from GND, and the remote IO controller will report the status information of the power distribution output of this line as no output status.
