Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of DAU measurement and control unit fault monitoring technology, specifically relating to a communication fault monitoring device for a DAU measurement and control unit. Background Technology
[0002] The RS485 bus is a multi-point communication bus with a two-wire half-duplex balanced transmission line. It features long transmission distances and strong anti-interference capabilities. DAU (Digital Active Unit) control and measurement units typically use the RS485 bus for data transmission. Multiple DAU control and measurement units are connected to a single RS485 bus to complete data transmission. Control and measurement units can be directly installed or removed from the RS485 bus, making configuration simple, convenient, and cost-effective. However, when one DAU control and measurement unit experiences a communication failure, it often causes an interruption or even a system crash on the RS485 bus, affecting all other DAU control and measurement units. Furthermore, locating the fault in each DAU control and measurement unit requires maintenance personnel to troubleshoot individually, consuming significant manpower. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art in which multiple DAU measurement and control units are directly connected to the RS485 bus to achieve data transmission and maintenance difficulties, thereby providing a communication fault monitoring device for DAU measurement and control units.
[0004] This utility model provides a communication fault monitoring device for a DAU (Digital Active Unit) measurement and control unit, comprising multiple monitoring modules, each connected to a monitoring platform. The monitoring platform is connected to a data bus and is used to monitor and control the monitoring modules. Each monitoring module includes a processor, a transmitting signal distributor, a receiving signal distributor, and multiple switches. The control terminal of the processor is connected to and controls the transmitting signal distributor, the receiving signal distributor, and the switches. The communication terminal of each DAU measurement and control unit is connected to the transmitting signal distributor and the receiving signal distributor through one of the switches. The transmitting signal distributor and the receiving signal distributor are connected to the communication terminal of the processor. The communication terminal of the processor is connected to the data bus.
[0005] Furthermore, the monitoring module also includes a first isolator, which connects the communication terminal of the processor to the data bus.
[0006] Furthermore, the monitoring module also includes a second isolator, which connects the processor's communication terminal to the transmitting signal distributor and the receiving signal distributor.
[0007] Furthermore, the monitoring module also includes a third isolator, which connects the control terminal of the processor to the transmitting signal distribution module, the receiving signal monitoring module, and the switch.
[0008] Furthermore, a total of eight switches are provided, each connected to the communication terminal of one of the eight DAU measurement and control units; the transmitting signal distributor is a one-in-eight-out distributor, with its output terminal connected to the eight switches; the receiving signal distributor is an eight-in-one-out distributor, with its input terminal connected to the eight switches.
[0009] Furthermore, four monitoring modules are provided, with each module connected to at least one DAU monitoring and control unit.
[0010] Furthermore, the data bus is an RS485 bus, and the communication terminal of the processor and the communication terminal of the DAU measurement and control unit are RS485 interfaces.
[0011] Furthermore, the monitoring module is connected to the monitoring platform via an optical transceiver.
[0012] Beneficial effects: This utility model discloses a communication fault monitoring device for DAU measurement and control units. It is equipped with multiple monitoring modules, capable of simultaneously connecting to the communication terminals of multiple DAU measurement and control units. By controlling the transmitting signal distributor, receiving signal distributor, and switcher, it controls the data transmission and reception of multiple DAU measurement and control units and connects to a data bus to achieve data communication. Simultaneously, a monitoring platform monitors and controls the monitoring modules. When one DAU measurement and control unit experiences a communication fault, it does not affect the normal communication of other DAU measurement and control units. Furthermore, by connecting multiple DAU measurement and control units through a single monitoring module, the communication fault of the DAU measurement and control units can be located on the monitoring module, effectively reducing maintenance costs.
