3. Working Principle

Power-on Initialization & Self-test: After 24V DC power-on, the module completes full self-inspection of hardware, ports and links, loads protocol parameters, establishes communication with NIM cards and the main control system, and enters standby state.
Data Reception & Parsing: It receives control commands and configuration data from the DCS main controller, completes decoding, verification and error correction to filter invalid interference data and ensure command accuracy.
Cross-link Data Bridging & Forwarding: Serving as the core network bridge, it forwards valid commands to the field I/O subsystem and uploads field operating status and fault data to the upper system, realizing bidirectional data interaction.
Real-time Communication Monitoring & Error Correction: The module continuously monitors link quality and data integrity, automatically corrects minor data errors, and activates fault-tolerant mechanism for link jitter to maintain stable communication.
Data Synchronization & Upload: Standardizes and packages field operating data, uploads it to the DCS main control system for process display, logic operation, interlock control and data traceability.
Fault Alarm & Locking: Triggers local LED alarm and remote fault code uploading once communication abnormality occurs, locks fault status to assist rapid troubleshooting and system recovery.
