3. Working Principle

Power-on Initialization & Self-test: After 24V DC backplane power-on, the module completes full hardware self-inspection, loads protocol parameters, establishes communication links with the main control system and I/O subsystem, and enters standby state.
Command Reception & Parsing: Receives control and configuration commands from the DCS main controller, completes decoding, verification and error correction to filter invalid interference data and ensure command accuracy.
Cross-layer Data Bridging & Forwarding: Acts as the core communication hub, forwards valid commands to field I/O modules, and uploads field operating parameters, equipment status and fault information to realize bidirectional data interaction.
Data Processing & Standardization: Filters, corrects and standardizes field collected data to eliminate abnormal points and ensure accurate and stable data uploading.
Real-time Monitoring & Fault Tolerance: Continuously monitors link quality and data integrity, automatically corrects minor errors, and activates fault-tolerant mechanism for transient link jitter to maintain uninterrupted communication.
Fault Alarm & Status Locking: Triggers local LED alarm and remote fault code uploading when communication abnormality occurs, locks fault status for rapid troubleshooting and automatic recovery after fault elimination.
