10.9 Working Principle

1. Power Supply Input and Isolation Protection Stage: External DC 24V industrial power supply is input into the internal power supply isolation circuit through the rear power terminal block; multi-stage surge absorption, reverse connection, overvoltage and overcurrent protection circuits filter out power supply surge interference from the factory power grid; the isolation power module converts the single DC 24V input into multiple groups of stable isolated DC power supplies for the main control processor, LCD display drive circuit, touch signal acquisition circuit and each isolated communication module separately, completely isolating power supply noise between different functional circuits.
2. Touch Signal Acquisition and Processing Stage: Staff touches the front tempered glass touch panel; the internal 4-wire resistive touch film generates voltage coordinate change signals corresponding to the touch position; the dedicated touch acquisition chip collects the analog voltage coordinate signals in real time, filters out industrial electromagnetic interference noise through a built-in digital filter, converts analog coordinate signals into digital touch position coordinate data and transmits the coordinate data to the main ARM dual-core processor in real time; the main processor matches the touch coordinate position with the screen display button component position to trigger the corresponding equipment parameter adjustment, screen switching or fault reset operation instruction.
3. Main Control Processor Real-time Data Operation Logic: The ARM dual-core main processor runs the built-in HMI real-time operating system; one core is responsible for real-time communication data interaction with external PLC, frequency converter and other field equipment through serial ports or Ethernet, continuously collecting real-time operating data such as equipment temperature, pressure, speed and production counting values; the other core independently completes LCD screen picture rendering, real-time data refresh display, trend curve drawing, alarm signal judgment and user authority login verification tasks; all collected equipment real-time data is cached into onboard DDR3 running memory, and important recipe parameters and historical alarm data are automatically written into onboard industrial flash memory for permanent storage.
4. Multi-protocol Isolated Communication Data Transmission Stage: The main processor sends read and write data instructions to external industrial control equipment; the instruction data is transmitted to the isolated serial port or Ethernet communication chip; the built-in optocoupler isolation circuit completely isolates the internal HMI main control circuit ground and the external field equipment ground potential difference, eliminating ground loop interference; the communication chip converts the internal digital instruction data into standard Modbus, S7 and other industrial bus protocol signals and transmits them to external PLC equipment through shielded communication cables; after the external PLC returns equipment real-time data, the isolation communication chip receives the return data, filters out field electromagnetic interference signals and transmits the valid equipment data back to the main processor for screen display processing.
5. LCD Display Drive and Screen Picture Output Stage: The main processor renders the pre-configured equipment operation screen pictures, digital values, trend curves and alarm prompt windows according to real-time collected equipment data; the rendered 24-bit true color image data stream is transmitted to the dedicated LCD display drive chip; the drive chip converts digital image data into analog display driving signals and outputs the signals to the 10.4-inch TFT LCD screen to complete real-time screen picture refresh and data update display; the main processor adjusts the output backlight current of the display drive chip according to user set brightness parameters to realize adjustable screen brightness control.
6. USB External Storage Data Exchange Logic: When a U disk or USB mouse is inserted into the onboard USB 2.0 Host port, the main processor detects the USB external storage device in real time and automatically identifies the storage medium file system; users can execute offline project program upgrade, batch import and export of equipment recipe parameters and offline backup of historical alarm and production data through the touch screen operation menu; all data read and written with the USB storage medium are temporarily cached in onboard DDR3 running memory to avoid data loss caused by sudden USB plugging and unplugging during data transmission.
