Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of communication technology and relates to an RS485 interface circuit based on self-powered electromagnetic isolation. Background Technology
[0002] RS485 is a serial data interface standard. Based on RS422, the transceiver uses balanced drive and differential reception, possessing the ability to suppress common-mode interference and providing multi-point, bidirectional communication capabilities. The RS485 standard only specifies the electrical characteristics of the interface and does not cover connectors, cables, or protocols; users can build their own higher-level communication protocols on this basis. Existing aircraft RS485 bus communication... Figure 1 As shown, the seeker, inertial measurement unit, main control computer, transponder, electrical control devices, and other equipment are connected via an RS485 serial bus. The aircraft's main control computer is the master station, and the other devices are slave stations. The master station is responsible for the entire network and schedules and manages the other slave devices. The master station can select any slave station for communication, forming a communication pair. The selected slave station can both receive information from and send information to the master station, thus constituting the communication process of the aircraft's RS485 bus. The aircraft's RS485 bus topology mainly adopts the FLY_BY topology structure, such as... Figure 2 As shown, since the various devices of the aircraft are not in the same compartment, the cable network needs to pass through the compartment. The common-mode interference of the cable network is large, and the signals of the various devices are not grounded. Therefore, in practical applications, the RS485 interface needs to be isolated.
[0003] like Figure 3 As shown, the existing isolated RS485 interface uses optocouplers for isolation. 1) Optocoupler isolation requires the main control computer to provide a dedicated isolation power supply, which increases the overall power consumption. 2) Because optocouplers are current-transmission devices with low transmission rates, the maximum transmission rate of high-speed optocouplers is 2Mbps. The impedance of the transmission cable itself will reduce the differential amplitude at the receiving end, limiting the communication rate and transmission distance of the RS485 interface. The actual cable network length cannot exceed 3m. 3) One RS485 interface on a single device requires one isolation power supply, two level conversion chips, three high-speed optocouplers, one differential transmitter chip, and one differential receiver chip. The cost of selecting all domestically produced components is about 15,000 yuan.
[0004] In summary, existing isolated RS485 interfaces suffer from low transmission speed, require separate isolated power supplies, and have high costs associated with domestic design. Utility Model Content

[0013] Furthermore, the communication rate of the first self-powered electromagnetic isolation device and the second self-powered electromagnetic isolation device is less than or equal to 16 Mbps.
