Description

[0002] The communication system of long-distance oil and gas pipeline undertakes the efficient and reliable transmission of production data, industrial television monitoring, soft switching and auxiliary production information between different stations and different networks, which is of great significance to the safe and stable operation of long-distance oil and gas pipeline. The optical transmission equipment has a self-diagnosis function. When the optical communication is abnormal, the service state SRV (Service, service state indication) indicator light of the optical transceiver will turn red and emit a slight alarm sound, and the service state SRV indicator light of the corresponding service sub-board will also turn red.

[0031] The optical transmission equipment fault alarm system provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below through the following embodiments and optional schemes.

[0032] Figure 1 A structural diagram of an optical transmission equipment fault alarm system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The technical scheme of the present application can be applied to the case of optical transmission equipment fault alarm.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 the optical transmission equipment fault alarm system provided in the embodiments of the present application includes:

[0034] The optical transmission device 10, at least one switch module 11, and at least one remote alarm module 12;

[0035] One end of the switch module 11 is connected with the auxiliary interface board 101 of the optical transmission device 10, and the other end is connected with the remote alarm module 12, for connecting the signal transmission circuit between the auxiliary interface board 101 and the remote alarm module in the case of receiving the fault signal of the auxiliary interface board 101;

[0036] The at least one remote alarm module 12 is used for sending alarm information to a preset terminal according to the fault signal in the case of the switch module 11 connecting the signal transmission circuit.

[0037] The optical transmission device is a device for realizing optical signal transmission by using an optical fiber as a transmission medium. In the embodiment, the optical transmission device can be an optical transceiver. The optical transceiver is used for converting a baseband signal into an optical signal and transmitting the optical signal on an optical fiber, and simultaneously restoring the optical signal into the baseband signal at a receiving end. The optical transceiver can determine an optical communication fault condition of the optical transceiver according to an internal fault detection algorithm, and generate a fault signal.

[0038] The auxiliary interface board 101 is arranged on the optical transmission device 10. The auxiliary interface board 101 can be an AUX (Auxiliary) interface board, and can output a fault signal representing an optical communication fault condition.

[0039] One end of the switch module 11 is connected with the auxiliary interface board 101 of the optical transmission device 10 through a wire, and the other end is connected with the remote alarm module 12 through a wire. In the case of receiving the fault signal transmitted by the auxiliary interface board 101, the switch module 11 is closed to connect the signal transmission circuit between the auxiliary interface board 101 and the remote alarm module.

[0040] In the embodiment, the switch module 11 corresponds to the remote alarm module 12 one by one, and the number of the switch modules 11 is the same as the number of the remote alarm modules 12. The fault signal can include at least one fault signal of an alarm level. For each fault signal of the alarm level, the switch module 11 corresponding to the fault signal of the alarm level is closed to connect the signal transmission circuit between the auxiliary interface board 101 of the optical transmission device 10 connected with the wire of the switch module 11 and the remote alarm module 12, and transmit each fault signal of the alarm level to the remote alarm module 12 corresponding to the fault signal of the alarm level.

[0041] At least one remote alarm module 12 is used to receive a fault signal sent by the auxiliary interface board 101 through the signal transmission circuit when at least one switch module 11 connects the signal transmission circuit, and to send alarm information to a preset terminal according to the fault signal. For example, a user can set a preset terminal for the remote alarm module 12 to send alarm information through an IoT platform. The preset terminal can be a terminal device used by staff. The alarm information can include at least one or a combination of voice calls and SMS alerts. Voice calls play preset voice content corresponding to the fault signal of the remote alarm module 12; similarly, SMS alerts display preset text content corresponding to the fault signal of the remote alarm module 12.

Alarm levels can include important alarms, major alarms, and minor alarms, with the importance of alarm levels decreasing progressively, i.e., important alarms have the highest urgency, and minor alarms have the lowest urgency. The number of alarm levels is the same as the number of remote alarm modules 12. The alarm information settings of the remote alarm modules 12 corresponding to different alarm levels can be different. For example, the alarm information of the remote alarm modules 12 corresponding to important and major alarms includes voice calls and SMS alerts, while the alarm information of minor alarms includes SMS alerts.

[0042] The remote alarm module 12 can be powered by an external power supply module or by its own built-in power supply module; this embodiment does not impose any limitation.

One end of the switch module is connected to the auxiliary interface board of the optical transmission equipment, and the other end is connected to the remote alarm module. Upon receiving a fault signal from the auxiliary interface board, the switch module connects the signal transmission circuit between the auxiliary interface board and the remote alarm module. The at least one remote alarm module sends alarm information to a preset terminal based on the fault signal when the switch module connects the signal transmission circuit. The technical solution of this application embodiment solves the problem of reliance on manual on-site inspection for optical transmission equipment fault alarms, realizes automatic remote alarm triggering by fault signals, shortens the fault response time of optical transmission equipment, and improves the fault handling efficiency of optical transmission equipment.

[0047] The switch module 11 is connected to the remote alarm module of the corresponding alarm level of the fault signal through a signal line, as a physical isolation between the fault signal transmission interface 1011 and the remote alarm module 12. The switch module 11 is closed after receiving the fault signal of the fault signal transmission interface 1011, so as to connect the signal transmission circuit between the fault signal transmission interface 1011 and the remote alarm module 12. When the signal transmission circuit is connected, the remote alarm module 12 receives the fault signal and alarms. For fault signals of different alarm levels, the preset terminal of the alarm of the remote alarm module 12 can also be different, which can be set according to actual needs. When the terminal is a mobile phone, the terminal of the alarm information can be determined by a preset mobile phone number.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the switch module 11 is a relay. The relay is an electrical control device, which makes a predetermined step change in the controlled quantity in the electrical output circuit when the change of the input quantity reaches the specified requirement. The relay can be applied to the signal transmission circuit of the present embodiment and plays a role of physical isolation in the circuit.
