3. Working Principle

1. Power-on Initialization & Self-test: After backplane power-on, the module starts the processor, completes full hardware self-inspection, loads system firmware and user configuration, and synchronizes system clock and bus timing to finish network initialization.
2. Resource Loading & Cache Deployment: Reads system programs from EEPROM and ROM, caches core control logic and process parameters into 16MW high-speed memory, and ensures data accuracy via ECC error correction mechanism.
3. Real-time Operation & Logic Execution: Continuously executes PID regulation, sequence control, batch control and interlock logic, processes field analog and digital signals, and outputs accurate control commands.
4. LCN Network Scheduling: Acts as the core node of LCN local network, uniformly schedules data interaction of workstations, controllers and I/O devices, allocates bus bandwidth, and ensures full-network data synchronization.
5. Data Storage & Fault Tolerance: Caches real-time process data, alarms and operation logs, corrects data deviation in real time, and locks operating status during transient faults to avoid process fluctuation.
6. Fault Monitoring & Self-recovery: Monitors hardware and network status in real time, accurately reports fault codes, isolates local abnormalities, and recovers automatically from minor faults to ensure continuous system operation.
