Embodiment
In view of this, the present invention proposes one and utilizes the method for pin position drop lock with initially setting apparatus, to overcome available general utility functions signal wire limited amount, be not enough to set the disappearance of all original states, also can overcome extra resistance the normal signal of installing is impacted.Method of the present invention utilizes existing bus gradation to carry out drop lock, to reach the purpose of breech lock any amount original state value, and utilizing multiplexer switching bus when carrying out drop lock, whether to be connected a bridle wire apparatus with operate as normal, the resistance that drop lock is used does not influence the operate as normal of device.
Fig. 3 is the calcspar of an electronic system 20 of one embodiment of the invention.This electronic system 20 comprises one first device, 21 and 1 second device 22.One initial bus S1~Sn is coupled between first device, 21 and second device 22, initial bus S3~Sn and the corresponding bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn that connects.Second device 22 comprises a complete signal Power_OK of a power supply and a reset signal Reset in addition.When the complete signal Power_OK of power supply was high level, second device 22 can be prepared to carry out the oneself and start; When reset signal Reset was high level, expression second device 22 oneself's startup finished, and can begin operate as normal.First device 21 is the original states that are used for setting second device 22, and control complete signal Power_OK of power supply and reset signal Reset.First device 21 comprises a multi-task mechanism (not shown), in order to switch whether tie jumper device J3~Jn of initial bus S3~Sn, when 21 pairs second devices 22 of first device carried out the original state setting, initial bus S3~Sn was connected to bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn with the required initial set value of breech lock; After second device 22 began to start, initial bus S3~Sn is tie jumper device J3~Jn not then, makes signal not be subjected to the interference of bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn.
First device 21 utilizes initial bus S1 to transmit a breech lock (latch) signal, and triggering a move instruction to initial bus S3~Sn in each rising edge of latch-up signal, initial bus S3~Sn promptly transmits initial setting data to the second device 22 of one (n-2) position according to move instruction.The clock pulse frequency size of latch-up signal only need meet the frequency that initial bus S1~Sn can carry, and does not need specific a certain frequency.First device 21 promptly according to this latch-up signal, triggers a move instruction in the rising edge of each clock pulse before the complete signal Power_OK of power supply activation, make initial bus S3~Sn transmit initial setting data to the second device 22 of (n-2) position.Because each move instruction can make initial bus S3~Sn transmit initial setting data to the second device 22 of (n-2) position, so the clock pulse that can trigger is many more, the number of times of move instruction increases thereupon, and the initial setting data that transmitted are just many more.
Moreover as above-mentioned, second device 22 begins to carry out the oneself and starts after the complete signal Power_OK of power supply activation, therefore initial set value should be carried out promptly to set before the oneself starts and finish in second device 22, second device 22 can normally be started according to correct initial setting, and in second device 22 start finish after with reset signal Reset activation.Therefore the complete signal Power_OK of power supply must be prior to reset signal Reset activation, and before the complete signal Power_OK of power supply activation during be the baseline that can set second device 22.
Initial bus S2 then is used for transmitting an initial signal, and this second device 22 can see through initial bus S3~Sn and receive the initial setting data when this start signal activation.First device 21 can be controlled the length of baseline, that is the opportunity of the complete signal Power_OK of power supply activation, and frequency and this start signal of controlling this latch-up signal, transmits many initial setting data.
Initial bus S1~Sn can be designed to for the function institute of initially setting apparatus special-purpose, the pin position that also can share the general utility functions signal.Since carry out this two function one of them the time, first device 21 can see through multi-task mechanism decision initial bus S1~Sn and whether be connected to bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn, when therefore initial bus S1~Sn carries out general utility functions, bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn isolates with initial bus S1~Sn, and signal quality can be not influenced.After finishing during the initial setting, the function of this initial bus and sequential can be switched back the general utility functions signal.
Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram of embodiments of the invention, please in the lump with reference to figure 3.As second device, 22 the complete signal Power_OK of power supply as yet not before the activation, at first switch initial bus S1~Sn and be connected to bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn in step S01, make first device 21 can utilize bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn to carry out drop lock.Then in step S02 first device 21 activation start signals, make second device 22 can receive the initial setting data that initial bus S3~Sn is transmitted, and,, initial bus S3~Sn transmits the clock pulse of initial setting data so that being provided according to clock pulse frequency transmission latch-up signal.For making second device 22 can successfully receive the initial setting data, latch-up signal is to send together in the time of the start signal activation.
Can trigger a move instruction in each rising edge of latch-up signal in step S03 first device 21, initial bus S3~Sn promptly transmits initial setting data to the second device 22 according to move instruction.These initial setting data are that the pin place value by breech lock bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn gets, so each move instruction can produce the data of (n-2) position.Then receive the initial setting data of initial bus S3~Sn transmission, and be stored in a working storage (not illustrating), second device 22 can be operated and be able to normal the startup according to its relevant parameter of these initial setting data settings in step S04 second device 22.
In step S05, judge whether second device 22 has received all initial setting data.
If second device 22 has received all initial setting data, then in step S06, the multi-task mechanism of first device 21 is isolated initial bus S1~Sn and bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn, replys to be the operate as normal path.First device 21 is also closed start signal simultaneously, makes 22 actions that stop to receive of second device, and stops to send latch-up signal, no longer triggers move instruction.
If second device 22 does not receive required initial setting data as yet fully, then get back to step S03, send a move instruction once more to transmit other initial setting data, till second device 22 successfully receives all initial setting data.
Fig. 5 is the signal waveforms that 21 pairs second devices of first device 22 are carried out an embodiment of initial setting among Fig. 3.In this embodiment, first device 21 in begin to supply with these second device, 22 power supplys to power supply one section baseline before the complete signal Power_OK activation, utilize initial bus S1~Sn that second device 22 is carried out initial settings.
In baseline, first installs 21 activation start signals, and repeatedly triggers move instruction according to the clock pulse frequency of latch-up signal, and multi-task mechanism then connects initial bus S3~Sn to bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn.At each rising edge of latch-up signal, initial bus S3~Sn promptly captures the value of bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn according to move instruction, and is sent to second device 22 as the initial setting data.The value of bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn is to set according to needing the initial setting data that transmit.After the complete signal Power_OK of the power supply activation, second device 22 successfully receives all initial setting data, so can begin to start.
If during all of start signal activation, latch-up signal triggers m time move instruction altogether, then the initial setting data of breech locked reach the quantity of m * (n-2).The triggering times m of latch-up signal can cooperate the initial setting data bulk of required setting to be adjusted, but notes, initial setting must be finished before the complete signal Power_OK of power supply activation, otherwise second device 22 can't operate as normal.Therefore when practical operation, need consider the available drop lock pin number amount and the length of baseline, select suitable frequency to trigger enough move instructions.After the complete signal Power_OK of the power supply activation, multi-task mechanism switches initial bus S1~Sn to the operate as normal path, isolates bridle wire apparatus J3~Jn, makes bridle wire apparatus not influence normal working signal.
For example, if second device 22 needs 12 initial setting data, and initial bus S1~Sn has 6 pin positions, one of them is in order to transmit the clock pulse frequency of latch-up signal, one the pin position that can be used for drop lock is 4 in order to transmit start signal, and therefore corresponding bridle wire apparatus also need have 4.When a move instruction of first device, 21 triggerings, initial bus S1~Sn can transmit 4 initial setting data to the second devices 22, and 12 initial setting data are sent in tendency to develop, then needs to trigger 3 move instructions altogether.Hence one can see that, and the clock pulse frequency of latch-up signal must transmit order for triggering at least 3 times in the minimum activation of baseline 3 times, and second device can successfully receive all initial setting data.
Hence one can see that, method of the present invention only needs n drop lock pin position and n-2 bridle wire apparatus, see through to trigger m time move instruction, i.e. the individual initial setting data of breech locked m * (n-2), do not need additionally to increase drop lock pin position and corresponding bridle wire apparatus, saving unnecessary plant bulk increases.Utilize the initial bus of the embodiment of the invention, can utilize the pin position of only a few to transmit the device that a large amount of initial setting data are given needs initial setting.The present invention also can utilize the initial bus of present embodiment to transmit a large amount of test mode setting values to device in plant-manufactured testing process except the initial setting that can be applied to generator.Convenience in the time of so can significantly improving device to test through easy setting.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention; so it is not in order to limit scope of the present invention; any personnel that are familiar with this technology; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; can do further improvement and variation on this basis, so the scope that claims were defined that protection scope of the present invention is worked as with the application is as the criterion.
