Obviously, the drawings described below are only part of the embodiments of the present application, and for those skilled in the art, other drawings can also be obtained without creative labor on the basis of the provided drawings.

[0025] Figure 1 The architecture block diagram of the paperless recorder. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1 The paperless recorder includes a mainboard, a collection board, a communication board and a power board.

[0028] Specifically, the first microcontroller, the first communication module, the total power supply adjustment circuit and the storage unit are integrated on the mainboard.

[0029] Specifically, the second microcontroller and the collection power supply circuit are integrated on the collection board.

[0030] Specifically, the communication power supply circuit, the second communication module and the first isolation chip are integrated on the communication board.

[0031] Specifically, the AC-DC power module, the power relay and the logic optocoupler are integrated on the power board.

[0032] The first communication module and the second communication module are both RS485 communication modules.

[0033] The input 220V alternating voltage is converted into 24V direct current voltage by the AC-DC power module on the power board, and then the 24V direct current voltage is used to supply power to the chips at all levels. This decentralized power management mode of independently integrating power supply adjustment modules on each board card reduces the power supply interference between the boards and improves the electromagnetic compatibility of the system. The power supply scheme can be selected according to the needs of different board cards. If a new function board is added, the total power supply does not need to be modified, and the local power supply demand can be directly adapted, which has high flexibility and expandability. In addition, the single-board power failure does not affect other board cards, and this power supply design improves the stability and reliability of the system.

[0034] Specifically, the first microcontroller communicates with the second microcontroller through the first communication module. The second microcontroller is connected to the third isolation chip, the third isolation chip is connected to the analog switch, the analog switch is connected to the solid-state relay, the solid-state relay is connected to the operational amplifier, the operational amplifier is connected to the ADC chip, the ADC chip is connected to the second isolation chip, and the second isolation chip is connected to the second microcontroller.

[0035] The dual-isolation architecture prevents high voltage from entering the control terminal and ensures the system's anti-interference capability, especially in circuits involving a mixture of analog and digital signals.

[0036] The coordinated control of solid-state relays and analog switches can reduce the impact of contact bounce on ADC chips.

[0037] Operational amplifiers perform impedance matching or amplification on the output signal of solid-state relays. This pre-conditioning setting improves sampling accuracy.

[0038] In signal acquisition scenarios, it is usually necessary to acquire signals from multiple different sources. The first microcontroller sends instructions to the second microcontroller, which controls the analog switch to select the target channel. The solid-state relay connects the sensor power supply circuit, the operational amplifier amplifies the signal and then the ADC converts it. The digital signal is returned to the second microcontroller through the isolation chip, and the data is packaged and transmitted back via RS485.

[0039] Specifically, the operational amplifier and the ADC chip are each connected to a reference source. The reference source provides an accurate reference voltage for the operational amplifier, ensuring the accuracy and stability of its output signal. The reference source also provides an accurate reference voltage for the ADC chip, ensuring that the ADC chip converts the input analog signal into the corresponding digital signal according to accurate quantization standards. This guarantees the stability and reliability of the entire signal acquisition system. Furthermore, sharing the reference source settings avoids systematic errors caused by reference drift.

[0040] Specifically, the storage unit includes a non-volatile storage medium and an SDRAM cache, and the non-volatile storage medium includes a NOR-FLASH, an EEPROM, and an eMMC. The NOR-FLASH is used to store running parameters; the EEPROM is used to store control programs and related configuration parameters; and the eMMC is used to store collected industrial field data according to a time stamp. By using the characteristics of fast random reading and directly executable code of the NOR-FLASH, the paperless recorder can quickly access the running parameters and quickly respond, thereby ensuring stable operation of the equipment. The EEPROM stores control programs and related configuration parameters, and the data is not lost during power failure, so that the data security is high, the paperless recorder can accurately restore the working state after power failure, and the stability and maintainability of the system are enhanced. The eMMC facilitates orderly organization, efficient storage, and fast retrieval of a large amount of historical data, so as to meet the requirements of industrial production on data real-time and high efficiency, and also facilitate long-term monitoring and traceability analysis of the industrial production process.

[0041] The different types of data or files are divided into regions for storage. This storage mode optimizes the data management function and enhances the system stability by reasonably matching different storage media, and can better meet the complex requirements of industrial field data storage and processing.

[0042] Specifically, the first microcontroller is connected with the first isolation chip through a serial port, the first isolation chip is connected with the second communication module, and the second communication module is used for communication with the host computer. The host computer receives the data collected by the paperless recorder in real time, and classifies, backs up, and stores the data. The collected data is displayed on the host computer in an intuitive manner, such as displaying the change trend of temperature, pressure, flow, and other parameters in the form of graphics, curves, tables, etc., so that the user can understand the production process or the state of the equipment operation at any time, and further process and analyze the data uploaded by the paperless recorder. The user can also configure various parameters of the paperless recorder through the host computer.

[0043] Specifically, the first microcontroller is connected with the logic optocoupler, and the logic optocoupler is connected with the power relay, which is used to realize accurate control of external high-power equipment.

[0044] Specifically, the first microcontroller is connected with the high-speed USB chip through the USB2.0 ULPI interface, and the high-speed USB chip is connected with the USB interface, which is used for high-speed and reliable data communication between the external USB device. Various USB peripherals can be easily connected, thereby expanding the function and application range.

[0045] Specifically, the first microcontroller is connected with a touch screen, a button, a first temperature and humidity sensor, and an RTC.

[0046] Specifically, the second microcontroller is connected with a second temperature and humidity sensor, which is used for providing a reference temperature for collecting the temperature signal.

[0047] Specifically, the communication board is further provided with a DC 24V / 5V power distribution output interface, which can provide DC 24V and 5V voltage for external devices.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating, but not limitation to the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments need not and cannot be exhausted.
