MEASURING SYSTEM FOR DETECTING A PHYSICAL PARAMETER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A MEASURING SYSTEM

Description

[0001] The invention is based on a measuring system or a method according to the class of the independent claims. The present invention also relates to a computer program.

[0002] In modern sensor systems, especially those installed in vehicles, it is important to ensure that these sensor systems are as well protected as possible against the failure of system components. For this purpose, it is often common practice to provide redundant systems or power supply units that supply a measuring sensor with power. This means that if one such power supply system fails, a redundant power supply system can step in to supply the measuring sensor with power. However, it is problematic if the power supply systems are based on different ground potentials, meaning that the measuring sensor is not supplied with a uniform voltage and may therefore deliver incorrect measured values ​​if the supplying power supply system changes.

Multiple power line systems can be provided, which are designed to prevent a ground fault in one power line system from affecting the other power line systems. US 2018 / 0304916 A1 discloses a sensor device for an electric power steering system. Disclosure of the invention

[0004] Against this background, the approach presented here provides a measurement system, a method for operating this measurement system, and finally a → Page 1a

[0005] A corresponding computer program according to the main claims is presented. The measures listed in the dependent claims enable advantageous further developments and improvements of the measuring system specified in the independent claim.

[0006] A measuring system for detecting a physical parameter as described in the appended claim 1 is therefore presented.

[0007] A physical parameter can be understood, for example, as a physical quantity such as a rotational speed, acceleration, temperature, or the like. A power supply unit can be understood, for example, as a unit that supplies electrical energy in the form of a current and / or a voltage to the measuring sensor. In this case, the first power supply unit and the second power supply unit are supported by different ground potentials, for example, due to galvanic isolation or due to long electrical connecting lines lying between these ground potentials, which serve as electrical resistance and cause the ground potentials to differ from one another.The voltage output by the second power supply unit to the measuring sensor or applied to the measuring sensor can be understood as a voltage that corresponds to the first voltage plus or minus a difference between the first and second ground potential.

[0008] The approach proposed here is based on the finding that the output of the second voltage determined taking into account the first voltage or the first ground potential by the second energy supply unit enables the measuring sensor to be supplied by the first and second energy supply units, whereby the measuring sensor itself receives an almost identical voltage from both the first energy supply unit and the second energy supply unit and can therefore operate largely error-free. This is even possible if the first ground potential and the second ground potential are different from one another. Ultimately, the second energy supply unit ensures that a potential difference between the first ground potential and the second ground potential is taken into account or compensated for when the second voltage is output in order to ensure the functioning of the measuring sensor orTo optimize the robustness of the measuring sensor's function. At the same time, this allows the measuring sensor to be coupled to both the first power supply unit and the second power supply unit simultaneously, since the essentially identical voltage applied to the measuring sensor from both the first power supply unit and the second power supply unit prevents any fault current from flowing from the first power supply unit to the second power supply unit and vice versa.

[0009] An embodiment of the approach proposed here is advantageous in which the first energy supply unit has at least one first switch, which can be controlled by a first control unit, in order to interrupt a current flow from the measuring sensor through the first energy supply unit to the first ground potential. Additionally or alternatively, the second energy supply unit can have at least one second switch, which can be controlled by a second control unit, in order to interrupt a current flow from the measuring sensor through the second energy supply unit to the second ground potential. Such an embodiment of the approach proposed here offers the advantage of being able to actively define a current path adapted to the operating / fault case, so that, for example, if an error or malfunction is detected in one of the energy supply units, the energy supply to the measuring sensor can still be reliably ensured.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the approach proposed here, the first control unit can be configured to open the first switch if a malfunction of the first power supply unit has been detected. Alternatively or additionally, the second control unit can be configured to open the second switch if a malfunction of the second power supply unit has been detected. A malfunction can be understood, for example, as the occurrence of a hardware or software error, a line break, or the like, which at least partially impairs or completely prevents the functionality of the power supply unit in question.Such an embodiment offers the advantage of suppressing the energy supply of the measuring sensor by this energy supply unit when a malfunction is detected in one of the energy supply units, so that the most stable and safe functioning of the measuring sensor can be ensured.

[0011] An embodiment of the approach proposed here is also conceivable in which the first control unit is configured to close the first switch or keep it closed if a malfunction has been detected in the second power supply unit. Alternatively or additionally, the second control unit can be configured to close the second switch or keep it closed if a malfunction has been detected in the first power supply unit. Such an embodiment offers the advantage of ensuring that, in the event of a detected fault in another power supply unit, the measuring sensor can be reliably powered by the power supply unit in question.In this case, the measuring sensor is then fed with a current from the energy supply unit in question, whereby at the same time the current flowing from the measuring sensor also flows through the energy supply unit and is optionally evaluated for the presence of a code in which the physical parameter is encoded by the measuring sensor.

[0012] Particularly advantageous is an embodiment of the approach proposed here in which the measuring sensor is connected to the first and second power supply units in a supply circuit such that a current is supplied to it from the second power supply unit and a current is discharged from it to the first power supply unit, in particular wherein the measuring sensor is connected in the supply circuit during normal operation. Such an embodiment of the approach proposed here offers the advantage of being able to ensure a very robust and reliable supply of electrical energy, or current, or voltage, to the measuring sensor through the simultaneous use of two different power supply units.

[0013] According to a further embodiment of the approach proposed here, the second power supply unit can have a shunt resistor through which the current flows from the second power supply unit into the measuring sensor during operation of the measuring sensor. Such an embodiment offers the advantage that, particularly when the physical parameter is encoded by a different, varying current intensity controlled by the measuring sensor, a technically very simple way exists to read or transmit the value of the physical parameter.

[0014] Another advantageous embodiment of the approach proposed here is one in which the measuring sensor is designed to encode a value representing the physical parameter in a Manchester code. Such an embodiment offers the advantage of transmitting the measured value for the physical parameter detected by the measuring sensor in a technically simple manner and with minimal circuit complexity.

[0015] According to a further embodiment of the approach proposed here, the second power supply unit can also have a switching element connected to the control input, which is designed to control the second voltage as a function of a voltage difference between a supply voltage feeding the second power supply unit and the first ground potential. Such an embodiment offers the advantage of a particularly simple implementation or control of the second voltage in relation to the first ground potential, so that the second voltage can be output in such a way that it is provided taking into account the first voltage and a potential difference between the first ground potential and the second ground potential.

[0016] A further advantageous embodiment of the approach proposed here is one in which the first and / or second power supply unit has at least one voltage regulator, in particular one implemented as a low-dropout series regulator. Such an embodiment offers the advantage of a technically very simple implementation for determining or providing the first and / or second voltage according to the desired requirements.

[0017] According to a specific embodiment, the measuring sensor can also be designed as a rotational speed sensor, in particular to detect the rotational speed of a component of a vehicle and / or a wheel of a vehicle. Such an embodiment of the approach proposed here offers the advantage of being able to ensure reliable and robust measurement of the physical parameter by the measuring sensor, particularly in an environment with high safety requirements.

[0018] Also, according to an embodiment of the approach proposed here, a method for operating a measuring system according to a variant of the approach presented here is proposed, wherein the method comprises the following steps: Supplying the measuring sensor with electrical energy from the first and / or second energy supply unit; and outputting a measurement signal by the measuring sensor that represents the physical parameter.

[0019] The aforementioned advantages can also be realized technically easily by such an embodiment in the form of a method, so that the physical parameter can be used with a high degree of safety and robustness even in various environmental scenarios.

[0020] Also advantageous is a computer program product or computer program with program code that can be stored on a machine-readable carrier or storage medium such as a semiconductor memory, a hard disk memory or an optical memory and is used to carry out, implement and / or control the steps of the method according to one of the embodiments described above, in particular when the program product or program is executed on a computer or a device.

[0021] Examples of the approach presented here are shown in the drawings and explained in more detail in the following description. It shows: Fig. 1 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the measuring system presented here in the circuit for normal operation; and Fig. 2 shows a flow diagram of an embodiment of the approach presented here as a method for operating a variant of a measuring system described here.

[0022] In the following description of advantageous embodiments of the present invention, the same or similar reference numerals are used for the elements shown in the various figures and having a similar effect, whereby a repeated description of these elements is omitted.

[0023] Fig. 1 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the measuring system 100 presented here in the circuitry for normal operation. The measuring system 100 comprises a measuring sensor 105, which is supplied with electrical energy from a first energy supply unit 110 and / or with electrical energy from a second energy supply unit 115 for a robust and as little susceptible to failure as possible. The measuring sensor 105 can, for example, be designed as a sensor for a physical quantity such as a rotational speed of a wheel of a vehicle. However, it is also conceivable that the measuring sensor 105 is designed as a sensor for a temperature, an acceleration, a pressure or the like. In order to output orIn order to be able to transmit this measured value, this measured value can advantageously be encoded in the form of a Manchester code and thus read out by a corresponding evaluation device in or on the first energy supply unit 110 and / or the second energy supply unit 115. For this purpose, however, it should be ensured that the supply to the measuring sensor 105 is supplied with a voltage or a current that remains as constant as possible, even if, in the event of a fault, switching the supply of the measuring sensor 105 with electrical energy from another energy supply unit becomes necessary. For example, such a supply with a voltage that remains as constant as possible during such a change of the supply source is particularly helpful if such an encoding of the measured value by the measuring sensor 105 is to be read out as error-free as possible.

[0024] To ensure the most uniform possible supply of electrical current or voltage to the measuring sensor 105, the measuring sensor 105 can be supplied with an electrical current via a first terminal 120 of the first power supply unit 110, whereas an electrical current can be discharged from the measuring sensor 105 via a second terminal 125 of the first power supply unit 110. It should be noted that this current is discharged via the second terminal 125, for example, via a first resistor R1 and a first switch S1 to the first ground potential GND1. This first switch S1 can be controlled by a first control unit 130, i.e., for example, brought into an open or closed state by the control.At the same time, the current I1 output at the first terminal 120 can be provided by a first voltage regulator 135, which is designed, for example, as an LDO regulator (LDO = low drop-out), via a first auxiliary switch SH1, which in turn can be controlled, for example, by the first control unit 130. For this purpose, the first voltage regulator 135 is supplied with a first supply voltage UV1, for example, and controlled via a first regulator unit 140 such that it provides the first voltage U1. For this purpose, the regulator unit 140 can further be coupled to a first switching element 145, which is connected between the first supply voltage UV1 and the first ground potential GND1. For example, the first switching element 145 can have a series circuit comprising a Zener diode 147 and a resistor 149, wherein the potential between the Zener diode 147 and the resistor 149 is used as the control signal 150 of the regulator unit 140.By selecting the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode 147, the first voltage U1 can thus be controlled or set, for example, in the regulator unit 140.

[0025] A very similar structure can now also be selected for the second energy supply unit 115 in order to be able to supply the measuring sensor 105 with electrical current or an electrical voltage as evenly as possible. For this purpose, the second energy supply unit 115 has a third connection 155, via which the measuring sensor 105 can be supplied with a second electrical current I2. A current can be discharged from the measuring sensor 105 via a fourth connection 160 of the second energy supply unit 115. It should be noted that this current is discharged via the fourth connection 160, for example via a second resistor R2 and a second switch S2, to the second ground potential GND2. This second switch S2 can be controlled by a second control unit 165, i.e., for example, it can be brought into an open or closed state by the control.At the same time, the current I2 output at the third terminal 155 can be provided by a second voltage regulator 170, which is also designed as an LDO regulator, for example, via a second auxiliary switch SH2, which in turn can be controlled, for example, by the second control unit 165. For this purpose, the second voltage regulator 170 is supplied with a second supply voltage UV2, for example, and controlled via a second regulator unit 175 such that it provides the second voltage U2. For this purpose, the second regulator unit 175 can further be coupled to a second switching element 180, which is connected between the second supply voltage UV2 via a control input AD and the fourth terminal 160, which is now coupled (for example, via the measuring sensor 105) to the first ground potential GND1.Strictly speaking, this coupling occurs via the first ground potential GND1, the voltage drop +U_S1 across the first switch S1, and the voltage drop U_R1 across the first resistor R1, so this is an indirect coupling. For example, the switching element 180 can have a series circuit comprising a second Zener diode 185 and a further resistor 190, wherein a potential between the second Zener diode 180 and the further resistor 190 is used as the control signal 192 of the second regulator unit 175. The breakdown voltage of the second Zener diode 180 can thus, for example, be used to control or set the output of the second voltage U2 in the second regulator unit 175.

[0026] In such a supply circuit of the measuring sensor 105, the first terminal 120 of the first energy supply unit 110 is connected to the third terminal 155 of the second energy supply unit 115 and the second terminal 125 of the first energy supply unit 110 is connected to the fourth terminal 160 of the second energy supply unit 115.

[0027] The coupling of the control input AD (AD = Adjust control pin = control pin for reading in a control signal) of the second energy supply unit 115 to the first ground potential GND1 instead of with the second ground potential as in a similar structure of the second energy supply unit 115 to the first energy supply unit 110, now enables the correspondingly advantageous setting of the second voltage U2, which helps to avoid voltage jumps when the energy supply of the measuring sensor 105 changes in the event of a fault and thus ensures robust functioning of the measuring sensor 105.

[0028] According to one embodiment of the approach presented here, the control input AD of the second energy supply unit 115, or more precisely, the second regulator unit 175, is now connected to the first ground potential GND1. This is achieved here via an electrical connecting line from the control input AD to the fourth terminal 160 of the second energy supply unit 115, which is itself coupled to the first ground potential via the measuring sensor 105 and the first resistor R1, as well as the first switch S1. This ensures that when regulating the second voltage U2 from the second supply voltage UV2, the first ground potential GND1 is used as the reference value, not the second ground potential GND2.In this way, a regulation of the second voltage U2 can be achieved, which is output to the measuring sensor 105 between the third terminal 155 and the fourth terminal 160, in which the voltage U1 output by the first power supply unit 110 to the measuring sensor 105 and a potential difference between the first and second ground potentials are taken into account and compensated. In this way, it can also be ensured that, in the . Fig. 1 With the circuitry shown, no fault current flows from the first power supply unit 110 into the second power supply unit 115 due to voltage differences between the first terminal 120 and the second terminal 135, as well as between the third terminal 155 and the fourth terminal 160. Furthermore, it helps to maintain a required supply range for the sensor and prevent overvoltage supply. This can lead to favorable availability estimates. It should be noted that the sensor must meet an extended temperature range, with a sensor manufacturer guaranteeing this if the maximum supply voltage is reduced (i.e., self-heating is limited).

[0029] Furthermore, a shunt resistor RS is also provided between the second auxiliary switch SH2 and the third terminal 155, which, for example, flows into the measuring sensor 105 via the third terminal 155 to measure the current flow I2. In particular, if the measuring sensor 105 outputs a measured value of the physical parameter to be measured by varying the current flow through the measuring sensor 105, the use of such a shunt resistor for such a measurement or evaluation of the value encoded in this way by the measuring sensor 105 can be very advantageous. However, it is also conceivable that the current flow through the measuring sensor 105 or the current flow varied by the measuring sensor 105 can be detected by a voltage drop across the first resistor R1 and / or the second resistor R2.

[0030] In order to ensure a robust and reliable measurement by the measuring sensor 105, the first control unit 130 and second control unit 165 can be designed to switch the first switch S1, the first auxiliary switch SH1, the second switch S2 and the second auxiliary switch SH2 in such a way that, for example, in a normal operating mode, ie in normal operation, an energy or a current I2 is provided to the measuring sensor 105 via the third terminal 155 from the second energy supply unit 115 and the current flowing from the measuring sensor 105 is conducted via the second terminal 125 of the first energy supply unit 110 via the first resistor R1 and the first switch S1.

[0031] However, should an error occur in the first power supply unit 110 or in the second power supply unit 115, which can be detected, for example, via a Fig. 1 not shown error detection unit is transmitted to the first control unit 130 and / or the second control unit 165, the respective control units 130 and 165 can switch the switches S1, SH1, S2 and SH2 controlled by them in such a way that a current flow via the faulty power supply unit is prevented.

[0032] Specifically, for example, if a fault occurs in the first power supply unit 110, the first control unit can then control the relevant switches in such a way that the first switch S1 and / or the first auxiliary switch SH1 are opened, so that no more current can flow via the first terminal 120 and / or the second terminal 125. Alternatively or additionally, the second control unit 165 can be controlled in such a way that the second switch S2 and the second auxiliary switch SH2 are closed, so that a current can flow via the third terminal 155 and the fourth terminal 160, so that the supply of the measuring sensor 105 with electrical energy is made possible only by the second power supply unit 115.

[0033] Conversely, if, for example, a fault occurs in the second power supply unit 115, the first control unit can be switched such that the first switch S1 and the first auxiliary switch SH1 are closed, allowing current to flow via the first terminal 120 and the second terminal 125. Alternatively or additionally, the second control unit 165 can be controlled such that the second switch S2 and / or the second auxiliary switch SH2 are opened, preventing current from flowing via the third terminal 155 and the fourth terminal 160, thus enabling the measuring sensor 105 to be supplied with electrical energy only via the first power supply unit 115.

[0034] Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of the approach presented here as a method 200 for operating a variant of a measuring system described here. The method 200 comprises a step 210 of supplying the measuring sensor with electrical energy from the first and / or second energy supply unit and a step 220 of outputting a measurement signal by the measuring sensor that represents the physical parameter.

[0035] In summary, a possible principle and a circuit proposal for generating a variable reference potential of a voltage source for the diagonal supply of a sensor of two control units is presented here.

[0036] As a further development, the basic principle of diagonal supply and evaluation of a sensor (aWSS embodiment) using two electronic control units or energy supply units can be explained. This is based on the following problem: the primary and the redundant ECU (referred to here as the first and second energy supply units 110 and 115, respectively) are generally powered from different voltage supplies and thus have a different ground reference due to the cable used. Even with a supply from a common voltage supply, a continuously changing ground offset between the primary 110 and redundant 115 ECU or energy supply unit should be assumed. This ground offset or the interference caused by the different ground potential complicates the evaluation and ensuring the permissible voltage range of the sensor signal output by the measuring sensor 105.Voltage drops in the power supply of the sensor or measuring sensor 105 can occur, which in turn can lead to a degradation of the sensor signal. This then results in an incorrect evaluation protocol for sensor 105. The approach presented here includes an exemplary circuit proposal that specifically addresses the problems related to ground offsets in the diagonal supply and evaluation of an active wheel speed sensor as a measuring sensor 105.

[0037] The representation from the Fig. 1 shows the electrical wiring of the primary 110 and the redundant 115 control unit or the respective energy supply unit 110 or 115 with regard to the diagonal supply and evaluation of an active wheel speed sensor (aWSS) as a measuring sensor 105 and represents the normal operation of the two ECUs or energy supply units 110 and 115. Here, there is a current curve, starting from the redundant ECU or second energy supply unit 115 with the supply voltage level UV1 via the LDO or the second controller unit 170 via the reverse current protected supply switch as the second auxiliary switch SH2 with the shunt RS on the high side (which, for example, also has a current mirror) via the measuring sensor 105 designed here as an active speed sensor to the shunt as the first resistor R1 on the low side. The basic idea of ​​the approach presented here describes the principle and a concrete embodiment includingThe circuit proposal is that the reference potential of the reference voltage for the voltage regulation of the source, which here is the first regulator unit 135, is related to the reference potential of the primary ECU (here, the line between the second terminal 125 and the first ground potential GND1). In the normal case, which is the wiring according to the diagram in the . Fig. 1 As can be seen, the reference potential is the control unit’s own ground as in the Fig. 1can be seen. This ground reference to the primary control unit 110 for controlling the LDO as controller unit 135 of the redundant control unit or the second power supply unit 115 increases the robustness of the sensor protocol against ground offsets. In this case, the anode of the diode 185 or 147 used as a switching element is no longer selected with the internal ground, but with the reference to the signal applied to the fourth connection 160. This reference potential essentially corresponds to the same potential of the primary ECU or the first power supply unit 110. When selecting the ground reference GND2, it is important to ensure safe operation even in the event of a failure of a control unit 130, 165. The ground reference of the redundant ECU 115 to the primary ECU 110 does not change the voltage curve. Safe operation is also ensured in the event of a failure of the primary ECU or the first power supply unit 110. The modules or power supply units 110 or115 were briefly described above. In a further expansion stage, a filter element can also be implemented between the fourth terminal 160 and the diode as the second switching element 185. This can limit the control dynamics of the LDO.

[0038] If an embodiment includes an "and / or" link between a first feature and a second feature, this should be read as meaning that the embodiment according to one embodiment has both the first feature and the second feature and according to another embodiment has either only the first feature or only the second feature.
