I. Module Positioning and Functional Overview

II. Speculation on Core Working Principles1. Hardware Architecture and Signal Processing PathInput Interface Layer

• Receiving control commands from the processor (such as digital signals, register configuration data).

• Collecting status signals from external sensors (such as switch input).

Logic Processing Layer

• Protocol Conversion: Converts the parallel bus protocol of the main control board into the control logic required by the module (such as address decoding, data buffering).

• Data Processing: Performs operations on digital signals according to configuration parameters (such as range, accuracy, output mode) (such as linear transformation, filtering).

• Status Monitoring: Real-time detects the working status of the module (such as power supply, temperature, communication abnormalities) through the built-in self-check circuit (BIST), and feeds back through LED indicators (such as PWR, RUN, ERR).

Analog Output Drive

• Digital-to-Analog Conversion (DAC): Uses 12-bit or 16-bit DAC chips to convert processed digital signals into analog voltage/current signals (such as 0-10V, 4-20mA).

• Signal Conditioning: Amplifies and smooths analog signals through operational amplifiers and filter circuits to suppress noise and improve driving capability (such as load resistance matching).

• Electrical Isolation: Adopts optocoupler or magnetic coupling isolation technology to achieve electrical isolation of input/output signals (isolation voltage ≥1500Vrms) to prevent interference or lightning damage.

Communication Interface and Bus Collaboration

• Transmitter: The module feeds back processed status data, fault codes, etc., to the main control board through the bus.

• Receiver: The main control board sends configuration commands (such as channel enable, range setting) through the bus, and the module parses and executes corresponding operations.

2. Key Technical Logic (Taking Analog Output as an Example)

3. Collaborative Workflow with the SystemInitialization Phase

• After the module is powered on, the self-check circuit detects the hardware status of the power supply, memory, DAC, etc., and displays the initialization result through LED.

• The main control board sends configuration parameters (such as channel range, output mode) through the bus, and the module stores the parameters in EEPROM or RAM.

Operation Phase

• Real-time receives output commands from the main control board (such as "channel 1 outputs 5V"), and drives the DAC to output corresponding analog quantities after logical processing.

• If it is a communication module, it may be responsible for converting protocols such as Modbus and Profibus of field devices into signals recognizable by the system to achieve data forwarding.

Fault Handling Phase

• When over-temperature, overload, or communication abnormalities are detected, the module triggers a self-protection mechanism (such as closing the output), sends fault codes to the main control board, and prompts specific problems through LED flashing (such as fast flashing of the ERR light indicating a DAC fault).

III. Common Characteristics of GE Mark Series ModulesElectrical Characteristics

• Power supply is typically +5V DC (±5%) + ±15V DC (analog part), power consumption ≤20W, operating temperature -40°C to +70°C, compliant with industrial-grade vibration resistance (such as 2.5g@10-2000Hz) and impact standards.

Interface Design

• Analog signals are transmitted through BNC or RJ45 interfaces, digital signals use DB25 connectors, power interfaces are Phoenix terminals, and support stackable installation with the main control board (such as fixed above DS200DPSC via positioning pins).
