This method has the following problems: During startup, if the AC power is not connected, startup cannot be completed, meaning it lacks a cold start function. During shutdown, directly cutting off the power forces the industrial control computer to shut down, making it impossible to properly save relevant data from before shutdown. Utility Model Content

[0025] II. Based on the above problems, this utility model provides a technical solution to solve the above problems. The technical solution, working principle and technical effect of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and figures.
[0026] Figure 1 An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a power-on / off circuit based on a UPS system. The power-on / off circuit includes a first transistor 1, a first relay 2, a second relay 3, a third relay 4, a fourth relay 5, a fifth relay 6, and a contactor contact 13. The first transistor is connected to an external cold-start circuit, and the other end of the first transistor is connected to the first relay. The first relay is also connected to an external first power supply and a second relay. The second relay is also connected to an external second power supply, a third relay, and a first power supply. The second relay is connected to the fourth relay. The fifth relay is connected to the contactor contact. The third relay is connected to the fifth relay. The third and fifth relays are connected to an external third power supply.
[0027] Specifically, the base of the first transistor 1 is connected to an external cold-start circuit, the emitter of the first transistor 1 is grounded, and the collector of the first transistor 1 is connected to pin 2 of the first relay 2; pin 1 of the first relay 2 is also connected to an external first power supply, pin 5 of the first relay 2 is connected to pin 2 of the second relay 3, and pin 7 of the first relay 2 is grounded; pin 1 of the second relay 3 is also connected to an external second power supply, pin 2 of the second relay 3 is also connected to pin 6 of the third relay 4, and pin 7 of the second relay 3 is connected to the external first power supply; pin 8 of the second relay 3... The pin is connected to pin 4 of the third relay 4, and pin 2 of the third relay 4 is grounded; pin 5 of the second relay 3 is connected to pin 1 of the fourth relay 5, and pin 2 and pin 6 of the fourth relay 5 are grounded; pin 2 of the third relay 4 and pin 2 of the fifth relay 6 are both grounded, and pin 2 of the fifth relay 6 is grounded; pin 5 of the fifth relay 6 is connected to pin 1 of the contactor contact 13, and pin 2 of the contactor contact 13 is grounded; pin 7 of the third relay 4 and pin 3 of the fifth relay 6 are connected to an external third power supply.
[0028] This circuit is based on a Phoenix Contact UPS system. During a cold start, pressing the external start button connects pin NO1 to GND. The UPS receives the start signal and activates battery mode. The first external power supply is the 24V provided by the UPS after startup, and the second external power supply is the auxiliary voltage AUX provided by the DC-DC converter after startup, outputting 12V. Upon receiving the signal, the external cold start circuit (not shown in the diagram) outputs a short-duration pulse voltage (approximately 200ms) to this circuit (START port). This briefly activates the first relay 2, connecting pins 5 and 7, thus grounding pin 2 of the second relay 3 and activating it. Due to the presence of the third relay 4, the first relay 2 de-energizes and returns to its initial state. Pin 2 of the second relay 3 is grounded through pins 4 and 6 of the third relay 4, and pins 6 and 8 of the second relay 3, achieving self-locking. After the second relay 3 is activated, it will power on the fourth relay 5, connecting pin 6 (RC2) and pin 8 (RCG) of the fourth relay 5. When the external circuit receives this signal, it will activate the external third power supply and output 48V. At this time, the 48V will supply power to the coil of the contactor through the normally closed contact of the fifth relay 6. At this time, the external first power supply of 24V, AUX (12V) and 48V has been activated, and the subsequent circuit starts to work, and the cold start is completed.
[0029] In this embodiment, when the power is off and the AC power is not connected, pressing the power button once will cause the system to enter cold start mode powered by the UPS. After the UPS starts supplying power, the 48V power supply will be turned on, thus enabling normal startup. This realizes the control of the UPS and the entire system startup through a single start button socket.
[0030] In one embodiment, the power-on / off circuit further includes:
[0031] The base of the first transistor is also connected to an external hot-start circuit;
[0032] The external hot-start circuit includes a sixth relay and a seventh relay;
[0033] The sixth relay is connected to an external first power supply, and the sixth relay is also connected to the seventh relay;
[0034] The seventh relay is connected to the external first power supply;
[0035] The sixth and seventh relays are connected to an external first power supply;
[0036] The seventh relay is connected to the normally closed contact of the external start button;
[0037] The sixth relay outputs a hot start signal.
[0038] Specifically, the base of the first transistor 1 is also connected to an external hot-start circuit; the external hot-start circuit includes a sixth relay 7 and a seventh relay 8; pin 1 of the sixth relay 7 is connected to an external first power supply, and pin 2 of the sixth relay 7 is also connected to pin 3 of the seventh relay 8; pin 1 of the seventh relay 8 is connected to the external first power supply, and pin 5 of the seventh relay 8 is grounded; pin 7 of the sixth relay 7 and pin 4 of the seventh relay 8 are connected to the external first power supply; pin 2 of the seventh relay 8 is connected to the normally closed contact of an external start button; pin 5 of the sixth relay 7 outputs a hot-start signal.
[0039] During a warm start, the external power supply (AC-DC) is already in operation. The first external power supply is the 24V AC-DC power, and the second external power supply is the 12V AUX output from the DC-DC power supply. Both the 24V and 12V (AUX) power supplies have output voltage. When the start button is pressed, NC1 is briefly disconnected from GND, de-energizing the seventh relay 8 and briefly energizing the sixth relay 7. At this time, pin 5 (NO2) of the sixth relay 7 outputs a short-term high-level signal, causing the first relay 2 to briefly conduct, activating the second relay 3. Due to the presence of the third relay 4, the second relay 3 self-locks. After the second relay 3 is activated, it will power on the fourth relay 5, connecting pin 6 (RC2) and pin 8 (RCG) of the fourth relay 5. When the external circuit receives this signal, it will activate the external third power supply and output 48V. At this time, the 48V will supply power to the coil of the contactor through the normally closed contact of the fifth relay 6. At this time, the external first power supply of 24V, AUX (12V) and 48V has been activated, and the subsequent circuit starts to work. The hot start is complete.
[0040] In this embodiment, when the power is off and the AC power is connected, pressing the power button once will cause the system to enter the hot start mode powered by the AC power and operate normally.
[0041] In one embodiment, the eighth relay is connected to an external first power supply and is also connected to the fourth relay.
[0042] Specifically, the power-on / off circuit also includes an eighth relay 9; pin 1 of the eighth relay 9 is connected to an external first power supply, and pin 3 of the eighth relay 9 is connected to pin 3 of the fourth relay 5.
[0043] The external UPS's Bat-Start terminal is connected to pin 5 of the eighth relay 9, and the start button's NO1 is connected to pin 5 of the fourth relay 5. During a cold start, because NO1 is connected to GND when the start button is pressed, the UPS's Bat-Start terminal is connected to GND via pins 5 and 3 of the eighth relay 9 and pins 3 and 5 of the fourth relay 5. Based on this signal, the UPS starts and enters working mode, outputting 24V and 12V voltages. During a warm start, since 24V is already powered, the eighth relay 9 is already energized, and its normally closed contact is open. When the start button is pressed, pin 5 of the eighth relay 9 will not send a Bat-Start signal to the UPS, thus the UPS will not start supplying power.
[0044] In this embodiment, an eighth relay is added to prevent the UPS from starting up during a hot start.
[0045] In one embodiment, the power-on / off circuit further includes a ninth relay 10 and a second transistor 11; the seventh relay is connected to an external I / O port and is used to output a power-off request signal; the ninth relay is connected to an external first power supply and is grounded through a first capacitor; the third relay and the fifth relay are connected to the ninth relay, and the ninth relay is connected to the external first power supply; the base of the second transistor is connected to an external power-off circuit, the emitter of the second transistor is grounded, and the collector of the second transistor is connected to the ninth relay.
[0046] Specifically, pin 6 of the seventh relay 8 is connected to the external industrial control computer I / O port to output a power-off request signal; pin 2 of the ninth relay 10 is connected to the external first power supply, and pin 3 of the ninth relay 10 is grounded through the first capacitor 12; pin 1 of the third relay 4 and pin 1 of the fifth relay 6 are connected to pin 4 of the ninth relay 10, and pin 5 of the ninth relay 10 is connected to the external first power supply through a resistor and a diode; the base of the second transistor 11 is connected to the external power-off circuit, the emitter of the second transistor 11 is grounded, and the collector of the second transistor 11 is connected to pin 1 of the ninth relay 10.
[0047] Specifically, in the working state, pressing the start button socket briefly disconnects NC1 and GND, thus de-energizing the seventh relay 8. Pin 6 of the seventh relay 8 outputs a short-lived high-level shutdown signal (PC-off). Upon receiving the PC-off signal, the external industrial control computer enters the shutdown process. After shutdown, the industrial control computer's status signal (PC-ST) changes from high to low. At this time, pins 3 and 4 of the ninth relay close, and capacitor 12 supplies power to the third relay 4 and the fifth relay 6, energizing them and disconnecting the contactor coil. The contactor then opens, and the shutdown is complete. When shutting down after a cold start, pins 6 (GND) and 8 (Remote) of the fifth relay connect, shutting down the UPS.
[0048] In this embodiment, after the power is cut off by the seventh relay and a shutdown signal is issued, the industrial control computer will save the current state and shut down before sending a low-level signal to this circuit, thereby achieving a soft shutdown, ensuring the data security of the industrial control computer and improving the stability of the system.
