3. Working Principle

System Initialization & Self-calibration: After power-on, the module automatically completes hardware self-inspection, channel verification, bus initialization and parameter loading, and checks the status of analog channels, power supply loops and communication links channel by channel, entering standby acquisition state after passing self-inspection.
On-site Analog Signal Acquisition: 8 independent channels synchronously collect current/voltage analog signals output by on-site sensors and transmitters, and receive original continuous process parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow and liquid level.
Signal Isolation & Conversion Processing: External interference is isolated through the built-in isolation circuit. Analog signals are converted into standard digital signals by a high-precision 16-bit AD chip, with hardware filtering, software error correction and temperature drift compensation to eliminate invalid interference signals.
Data Packaging & Upload Interaction: The processed accurate digital data is packaged according to the system bus protocol and uploaded to the DCS main control CPU in real time, providing effective data support for system logic operation, PID regulation, process monitoring and data storage.
Real-time Monitoring & Fault Diagnosis: It continuously monitors the signal status, value range, power supply and bus conditions of each channel. Once faults such as disconnection, over-range, short circuit and communication abnormality are detected, it immediately locks the faulty channel, triggers an alarm and uploads fault codes.
Continuous & Stable Acquisition Operation: Each channel operates independently without mutual interference. Single-channel faults are automatically locked and isolated without affecting the normal acquisition of other channels, ensuring the continuity and stability of process data acquisition of the entire system.
