Description

Technical Field

[0002] Data acquisition cards, with their advanced signal acquisition principles and wide applicability, have become essential data acquisition devices in numerous fields. However, existing data acquisition cards have many limitations in their acquisition range. Most acquisition cards are limited to ±10V, a limitation that makes acquisition extremely complex when dealing with high-voltage signal sources. For example, in some industrial production processes, the signal output by sensors may far exceed ±10V. In such cases, directly using a conventional acquisition card will not only fail to accurately acquire the signal but may also damage the acquisition card.

[0003] In summary, the input range of existing data acquisition cards is relatively narrow. Utility Model Content

[0010] The input terminal of the adder is connected to the output terminal of the analog switch selection circuit, which is used to superimpose the input signal and the gain reference signal to obtain the composite signal.

[0011] The integrated signal is connected to the input terminal of the zero-adjustment circuit to eliminate the zero-point offset of the integrated signal;

[0012] The AD converter is used to convert analog signals into data signals. The zeroed signal is connected to the input terminal of the AD converter, and the output terminal of the AD converter is connected to the input terminal of the FPGA module.

At the junction, the signals are superimposed through a resistor network, and the combined signal after addition is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the fourth operational amplifier.

[0015] The zero-adjustment circuit includes a fifth operational amplifier and a sixth operational amplifier. The output of the fourth operational amplifier is connected to the inverting input of the fifth operational amplifier through the fifth resistor. The integrated signal is connected to the inverting input of the sixth operational amplifier through the output of the fifth operational amplifier. The non-inverting input of the sixth operational amplifier is connected to the zero-adjustment signal.

The output terminal of the first operational amplifier is connected to the inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier to ensure that the output voltage follows the input voltage change, thus completing voltage following and isolation between the input signal and subsequent circuits. An RC filter circuit removes high-frequency ripple and noise, improving signal purity. A second operational amplifier isolates the input signal from subsequent circuits. A bidirectional Zener diode and a voltage divider branch are connected in parallel between the output of the second resistor and ground. The bidirectional Zener diode prevents the circuit from being subjected to high-voltage surges, while the voltage divider branch reduces the input signal voltage to a range suitable for the data acquisition card, thus overcoming the traditional ±10V acquisition range limitation.

[0036] The connector is used to acquire analog signals and send them to the front-end signal conditioning circuit; this connector is a J30J-100ZKWP7 connector. This connector is also used for inputting and outputting digital signals to the FPGA module.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the front-end signal conditioning circuit includes 64 signal conditioning branches, used to process the input signal and output the conditioned signal. This acquisition card supports 32-channel differential or 64-channel single-ended analog input. The maximum sampling rate can reach 1Msps for a single channel and 500Ksps for multiple channels.

[0038] The signal conditioning branch includes a bidirectional Zener diode, a voltage divider branch, a first operational amplifier, an RC filter circuit, and a second operational amplifier. Both the first and second operational amplifiers are ADA4622 operational amplifiers. The voltage divider branch consists of two series-connected voltage divider resistors.

The output of the first op-amp is connected to its inverting input and also to the input of an RC filter circuit. The output of the RC filter circuit is connected to the non-inverting input of the second op-amp. The output of the second op-amp outputs the conditioned signal.

[0040] An RC filter circuit is used to filter out high-frequency noise in a signal; it includes a sixth resistor, a seventh resistor, an eighth resistor, and a capacitor.

[0041] The analog switch selection circuit includes eight first-stage multiplexer chips and one second-stage multiplexer chip. Both the first-stage and second-stage multiplexer chips use the ADG759BCPZ chip.

[0042] like Figure 2 The input terminal of the first-stage multiplexer chip shown is connected to the output terminal of the front-end signal conditioning circuit. The output terminals of the eight first-stage multiplexer chips converge to a common output terminal, and one or more signals are selected for output according to the control of the FPGA module.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the input terminal of the second-stage multiplexer chip is connected to the common output terminal of eight first-stage multiplexer chips. The output terminal of the second-stage multiplexer chip selects differential mode or single-ended mode according to the input signal.

The synthesized signal is connected to the input of the zero-adjustment circuit to eliminate the zero-point offset of the synthesized signal. The zero-adjustment circuit is a circuit used to adjust the zero point of the circuit's output signal. Its function is to eliminate the DC bias in the circuit, ensuring that the circuit output is zero when there is no input signal.

The sixth operational amplifier performs differential processing on the amplified integrated signal and the zero-adjustment signal and outputs the zero-adjusted signal.

[0047] The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth operational amplifiers all use the AD8066 operational amplifier. This amplifier boosts the input voltage to the range of the ADC chip input; zeroing ensures that the value acquired is 0 when the board input is grounded.

[0048] exist Figure 4 In the circuit, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth operational amplifiers are U84A, U84B, U85A, and U85B, respectively; the third, fourth, and fifth resistors are R1000, R1001, and R1003, respectively.

[0049] The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is used to convert analog signals into data signals. The zeroed signal is connected to the input terminal of the ADC, and the output terminal of the ADC is connected to the input terminal of the FPGA module. The ADC uses the AD4000 analog-to-digital converter. This chip has a maximum acquisition rate of 2Msps, which meets the design acquisition rate of 1Msps(max); the chip has an offset error of 4.5LSB(max) and a gain error of 20LSB(max), which meets the error requirements of each range in the design.

[0050] The working principle of this data acquisition card is to realize the digital acquisition and transmission of multi-channel analog signals through the collaboration of multiple modules. When an external signal enters the card, it first undergoes preprocessing such as filtering, amplification, and impedance adjustment by analog circuits. Then, it selects a channel through an analog switch and converts the analog signal into a digital signal through ADC sampling. After one channel is converted, the analog switch can be switched to the next channel for ADC sampling and conversion. The converted data signal is stored in the DDR of the card and can be read, processed, and analyzed by a computer.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the present utility model. Any simple modifications, alterations, or equivalent structural changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
