Further, the aforementioned circuit is a two-stage DC voltage amplification sub-circuit. The first-stage DC voltage amplification unit includes a first resistor R5, a second resistor R4, a third resistor R7, a fourth resistor R3, a fifth resistor R6, a sixth resistor R8, a first potentiometer VR1, a second potentiometer VR2, and a first operational amplifier U1A.

The other end of the second resistor R4 is connected to the control power ground GND, and the other end of the third resistor R7 is connected in series with the fixed terminal 1 of the first potentiometer VR1. The fixed terminal 3 and the variable terminal M of the first potentiometer VR1 are connected in parallel with the output terminal of the first operational amplifier U1A and one end of the sixth resistor R8. The second-stage DC voltage amplification unit includes the seventh resistor R9, the eighth resistor R10, the ninth resistor R11, the Zener diode DW1, and the second operational amplifier U1B. In the first-stage DC voltage amplification unit, one end of the sixth resistor R8 is connected in parallel with the fixed terminal 3 and the variable terminal M of the first potentiometer VR1 and the output terminal of the first operational amplifier U1A. The other end is connected in series with the non-inverting terminal of the second operational amplifier U1B. The inverting terminal of the second operational amplifier U1B is connected in parallel with one end of the seventh resistor R9 and the eighth resistor R10. The other end of the seventh resistor R9 is connected to the control power ground GND.

The anode of the Zener diode DW1 is connected to the control power ground GND.

[0031] The aforementioned V / A conversion output sub-circuit 102 is a conversion module DM1, which linearly converts the 0-5V DC voltage signal input from the two-stage DC voltage amplification sub-circuit 101 into a 4-20mA DC current signal for output to the host computer.

[0032] The aforementioned two-stage DC voltage amplification sub-circuit 101 consists of a first operational amplifier U1A, a second operational amplifier U1B, and peripheral components. It performs error elimination and two-stage DC amplification on the input micro DC voltage signal.

The eighth resistor R10 and the seventh resistor R9, connected across the inverting input and output of the second operational amplifier U1B, form a proportional amplification circuit to proportionally amplify the voltage signal from the first-stage DC voltage amplification unit. Changing the value of the eighth resistor R10 adjusts the amplification factor. The ninth resistor R11 is an isolation resistor, and the Zener diode DW1 is an output limiting protection diode, limiting the output amplitude of the two-stage DC voltage amplification sub-circuit 101 to no more than 5V.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 The V / A conversion output sub-circuit 102 described above linearly converts the 0-5V DC voltage signal output by the two-stage DC voltage amplification sub-circuit 101 into a 4-20mA DC current standard signal output.
