Embodiment
Detailed structure of the present invention, application principle, effect and effect with reference to accompanying drawing 1-3, are illustrated by following embodiment.
The present invention is primarily aimed at the weak point of design in the past and has carried out the improvement on the overall architecture again.As shown in Figure 1, in this patent, utilized the resource of server host fully, processing and control element (PCE) is configured to server end with form of software, and peripheral circuit is only as performance element.After the peripheral circuit connection finishes, at first the hardware that is connected on the server is detected and disposes, and generate configuration file by configuration software.Input block is imported data by a standard man-machine interface (HDI), and gives control and treatment software, and control and treatment software is correspondingly processed according to configuration file, gives simulator engine with data by signal procedure between a striding course.Simultaneously, controlled processing unit software also reads data in the simulator engine by signal procedure between striding course, passes to output unit through calculating the control signal that will need to export by HDI.
Because peripheral now input block only need be done simple data acquisition and transformation task, and peripheral output unit system need be installed steering order execution break-make, output, demonstration, therefore only needs simple microcontroller and logical device to finish.Hardware spending required on circuit design significantly reduces, and design is simpler simultaneously.Because hardware configuration task and control and treatment task are finished by software now, therefore give the hardware configuration more flexibility again, made native system can have more the demand free configuration.
The hardware configuration example of this patent such as accompanying drawing 2, the structure of whole hardware mainly are divided into four parts: server, expansion board, mainboard, functional module.Wherein expansion board is used to expand the quantity of mainboard, connects a plurality of mainboards; It between expansion board and the mainboard hub-and-spoke configuration.Mainboard is used to connect each functional module---different input, output unit; Also hub-and-spoke configuration between mainboard and each functional module.When system simplified the most, each functional module directly communicated, controls by USB interface and server.When system slightly under the complicated situation, each functional module is connected on the mainboard, carries out alternately with server via mainboard arrangement input/output signal is unified again.If when system is complicated more, then a plurality of mainboards are connected with expansion board earlier, are bridged on the server again.At server end, the configurator that writes is arranged, following corresponding program of needs operation of different situations can be finished configuration.When change connect to take place peripheral components, in configurator, adjust and get final product.Peripheral performance element can in keyboard expanded circuit, coding circuit, collection of simulant signal change-over circuit, control relay circuit, servomotor control circuit, stepping motor control circuit, 7-segment display circuit, the liquid crystal display circuit any one or several.
