IV. Working Principle
After DC24V power-on, the module completes self-inspection of power supply, fiber channels and I/O circuits, loads the preset control program, and establishes data interaction with the upper controller through the backplane bus. The DSP executes closed-loop regulation according to given commands and field feedback signals, and the FPGA generates high-precision PWM drive pulses and sends them to each power unit via optical fiber. Meanwhile, the module collects interlock signals and outputs safety control instructions. Once a hardware fault is detected, all drive signals are blocked immediately with fault information latched and uploaded to the monitoring system; normal operation can be restored by power cycling after troubleshooting.
V. Application Scenarios

- Preventive maintenance and hardware upgrading of medium-voltage frequency conversion equipment for mine hoists and long-distance belt conveyors.
- Drive system overhaul and compatible transformation of oil & gas pipeline and chemical compressor units.
- Intelligent upgrading of large water supply and sewage treatment pump frequency conversion control systems.
