[0050] The following description uses the circuit that outputs to the data acquisition module 2 as an example to illustrate the working principle of the power monitoring system disclosed in this embodiment.
[0051] In this embodiment, the external power supply voltage V in =48V. The voltage V entering data acquisition module 2. out =12V. The PFGA chip outputs a PWM signal with a duty cycle of 0.25 to the gate of IGBT1, and another signal to the gate of IGBT2. When the gate of IGBT1 is high, the gate of IGBT2 is low, and vice versa, controlling IGBT1 and IGBT2 to conduct alternately. The collector of IGBT2 generates a periodic signal (square wave) with a duty cycle of 0.25. After being filtered by resistor R1 and filter capacitor C, a 12V DC voltage is generated across the filter capacitor C. This 12V DC voltage is output at the output of the voltage follower VF and enters the data acquisition module 2.
[0052] The reasons for choosing a voltage follower VF are as follows: The input impedance of the voltage follower VF is very high, which means that it has very little impact on the load of the preceding circuit and hardly draws current from the signal source, thus protecting the signal source; the output impedance of the voltage follower VF is very low, which means that it can provide a stable output voltage and maintain the stability of the output voltage even when the load changes.
[0053] In this embodiment, the comparator CMP can only withstand a voltage of 5V, and requires a voltage of 12V output from the voltage follower VF (V outTo obtain a 3V voltage input to the non-inverting input of comparator CMP, a voltage divider resistor R2 is used (r = 12V). Therefore, the ratio of the voltage divider resistors R2 and R3 is 3:1. When the voltage across the voltage divider resistor R2 is 3V, it means that the voltage follower VF outputs a 12V voltage (V = 12V). out =12V).
[0054] When V out When V = 13V, V out If the voltage is too high, the FPGA chip outputs 3.25V through the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit, which then inputs it to the inverting input of the comparator CMP. When the voltage across the voltage divider resistor R2 exceeds 3.25V, the comparator CMP outputs a high level, which is then fed into the FPGA chip. The FPGA chip outputs a low level to the gate of IGBT3, causing IGBT3 to disconnect and disconnecting the DC-DC circuit 11 from the external power supply. Simultaneously, the FPGA chip outputs a high level to the LED, illuminating it. The FPGA chip sequentially converts V... out The time of the excessive event is stored in the FLASH chip.
[0055] The power monitoring system disclosed in this embodiment achieves efficient management and stable distribution of external power supply through the optimized design of the power management module 1. Each DC-DC circuit 11 in the system can accurately convert the voltage of the external power supply into the voltage required by each module, and dynamically adjust the output voltage through the PWM signal output by the control submodule 12 to ensure the stability of system operation. Specifically, the data acquisition module 2, communication module 3, alarm module 5, and load control module 4 obtain the required voltage (V of data acquisition module 2) through the four output terminals of the power management module 1. out =12V).
[0056] The protection circuit 13 is designed to monitor the output voltage of the DC-DC circuit 11 in real time. When an overvoltage condition is detected, it can quickly cut off the external power supply to prevent damage to the load module, significantly improving the safety and reliability of the system. For example, when the output voltage V of the data acquisition module 2... out When the voltage exceeds the set value (13V), the protection circuit 13 cuts off the power supply through IGBT3 and issues an alarm through the alarm device (LED), while recording the fault time in the memory chip (FLASH chip).
[0057] Furthermore, the control submodule 12 precisely divides and compares the output voltage using voltage divider resistors R2 and R3 and comparator CMP, ensuring that the comparator input voltage does not exceed its tolerance range. The high input impedance and low output impedance characteristics of the voltage follower VF further guarantee the safety of the signal source and the stability of the output voltage. The FPGA chip offers flexible development capabilities, allowing it to output PWM signals with different duty cycles to precisely control the voltage output by the DC-DC circuit.
