After channel calibration and condition adaptation, the module enters normal signal processing and intelligent operation status.

4.2 Field Signal Isolation Preprocessing and Noise Shaping

After field process signals access module channels, they first enter independent isolation amplifier units for electrical isolation, surge suppression and multi-stage noise filtering. This thoroughly eliminates signal distortion caused by external electromagnetic interference, ground potential difference and line noise. Weak signals are amplified and shaped, and distorted signals are corrected. Irregular raw field signals are converted into standard, stable and recognizable signals, ensuring authenticity and stability of signal acquisition from the source.

4.3 High-Precision Acquisition and Dynamic Deviation Calibration

Preprocessed standard signals are transmitted to the core microprocessor for high-speed sampling, numerical conversion, range matching and linear compensation. The module continuously compares measured values with preset target values. When deviations exceed the allowable error of ±0.1%FS, built-in calibration coefficients are automatically invoked for dynamic fine correction to eliminate accuracy drift induced by temperature variation, equipment aging and working condition fluctuation, ensuring high-precision acquisition and output under all operating conditions and full measuring range.

4.4 Local Intelligent Logic Operation and Closed-Loop Regulation

Based on pre-configured logic, the microprocessor performs operation analysis, logic judgment and status identification on calibrated accurate data.

Without intervention from upper master controllers, it realizes stable regulation of local process parameters, equipment start/stop interlock and abnormal early warning. It effectively simplifies the system control chain and improves response speed and control accuracy of local processes.

4.5 High-Speed Bus Data Interaction and System Synchronization

The module aggregates calibrated process data, equipment operating status, module operating parameters and fault information in real time. Data is uploaded to the master control system within milliseconds via the backplane high-speed bus to refresh the upper data image area for SCADA monitoring, data storage, trend analysis, process linkage and fault alarm. Meanwhile, it accurately receives parameter modification and control commands issued by upper systems, rapidly updates parameters and adapts to operating conditions, realizing seamless synchronous linkage between field equipment and the control system.
