VI. Working Principle
Signal Acquisition: Receives switching signals from field devices via terminal modules (e.g., TB series), filtered to remove high-frequency interference.
Signal Conditioning: Converts input signals (e.g., 24V DC) to internal logic levels (e.g., 5V) and isolates external electrical noise via optocouplers.
Data Encoding: Directly encodes digital signals into binary data ("1" = conduction, "0" = disconnection), stored in registers.
Communication Transmission: Sends data to the controller via the internal bus; the controller executes actions (e.g., alarms, interlocks) based on preset logic.
Self-Test Mechanism: Periodically checks power, channel, and communication status; triggers indicators and logs system errors when anomalies are detected.
