4. Operating Principle
The IS410STAIS2A module follows the standardized workflow: On-site analog signal access → Galvanic isolation protection → Multi-stage filtering conditioning → High-precision ADC conversion → Data verification & transmission → Online self-diagnosis. After analog transmitter signals of temperature, pressure, flow, vibration, liquid level and other parameters are connected to independent acquisition channels of the module, dedicated galvanic isolation circuits firstly block on-site voltage impact, electromagnetic clutter, reverse current and transient surge interference, protecting module hardware and main control system equipment fundamentally.
The incoming raw analog signals undergo dual processing of multi-stage hardware filtering and software algorithm filtering to completely eliminate working condition jitter, high-frequency noise and transient interference pulses, and output smooth and stable analog signals. The high-precision ADC unit converts analog signals into standard digital signals recognizable by the control system. The module verifies, corrects and optimizes converted data, and uploads data to the Mark VI/VIe main control system in real time via the system backplane bus. It provides accurate and reliable data support for unit load regulation, closed-loop process control, over-limit parameter alarm, equipment interlock protection and fault logic judgment. The module conducts real-time self-inspection on all channels and overall operating status. Once signal disconnection, over-range, channel abnormality, communication fault and other failures are detected, status alarms will be triggered immediately to assist maintenance personnel in rapid fault location and troubleshooting, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the unit analog acquisition system.
