Definitions
- the invention relates to an information input module by electrical contact for a control / command installation.
- Such a module is known from document EP-0101643. It is primarily designed to detect a command entered via an electrical contact and provide information necessary for a control / command installation.
- the electrical contact for example a push button, is electrically connected to a detection member such as an optocoupler.
- This module is designed to incorporate a single electrical contact and a single detection device. Furthermore, this known module does not include an operating test circuit of the detection member.
- a voltage regulator for example a switching regulator, having an output connected to the first terminal of the contact through the detection member, this output delivering a voltage lower than the voltage. , possibly variable, applied to the first input of the module.
- each contact remains subject to the difference in supply potential of the module which may vary.
- each detection member receives a voltage which can be lower than the voltage of the first input, which makes it possible to use the same detection device for modules supplied with variable voltages. It also follows that the consumption of the module is reduced, which limits the effects of heat dissipation and makes it possible to increase the number of detection members that can be implemented on the same support. By appropriately choosing the value of the resistors, the intensity of the current which the detection member must detect can be adjusted so that it is sufficient but not too high.
- the function test circuit is directly integrated into the module and can be easily implemented. It makes it possible to test the operation of each detection member whatever the potential difference applied to the input terminals of the module.
- test elements can be semiconductor elements.
- Each detection member associated with a contact is, on the one hand, electrically connected to the first terminal of this contact through a resistor and a first diode, and on the other hand, electrically connected to the second input. power supply through said resistor, a second diode and the second test element.
- FIG. 1 schematically represents a logic information input module according to the invention including elements for testing the operation of the detection members.
- FIG. 2 schematically represents the logic information input module of FIG. 1 according to a first mode of control of the test elements.
- FIG. 3 schematically represents the logic information input module of FIG. 1 according to a second mode of control of the test elements.
- the information input module 20 by electrical contacts comprises two voltage supply inputs 1,2, one 1 receiving a voltage + VP, the other 2 receiving a voltage 0VP.
- the potential difference + VP-OVP can have any value between 48 volts and 127 volts.
- a switching voltage regulator 10, conventional in itself, is connected to the two inputs 1,2 to produce on an output 11 a regulated voltage VR which is lower than the voltage + VP and equal for example to 24 volts.
- the module 20 also includes several electrical contacts 3, three of which are shown. Each contact 3 has two terminals 4,5 and a contact member 6 which when actuated establishes an electrical contact between the terminals 4,5. In the figure, the contacts are shown at rest. In the rest state, the terminals 4,5 are not electrically connected to each other by the contact member.
- the module 20 also comprises several detection members 7 each associated with a contact 3. Each detection member, which can be a conventional optocoupler in itself, is sensitive to the passage of an electric current which takes place when the contact associated with it is activated and provides a logic information input signal SD which represents it to a control / command installation 30.
- the output 11 of the switching voltage regulator is connected by line 12 to terminal 4 of each of the contacts 3 through the detection member 7 which is associated with it. Each detection member therefore receives the regulated voltage VR by line 12.
- the input 1 is also connected to the terminal 4 of each contact 3 by a line 17 and through a first resistor 14 and the input 2 is connected to each terminal 5 of a contact by a line 11 '.
- Each terminal 4 of a contact 3 is connected to the detection member 7 through a decoupling diode 13 and a second resistor 15.
- the terminals 4.5 of each contact 3 are therefore subject to all of the potential difference + VP-0VP.
- Each diode 13 protects the detection member 7 to which it is connected by letting an electric current only pass from the detection member to the terminal 4 of the contact associated with it.
- the resistors 15 have values such that the current detected by a detection member 7 when the contact associated therewith is actuated is sufficient without being too large.
- each resistor 15 has a value of 24KOhms.
- the resistors 14 have a high resistivity, for example 120KOhms, which limits the intensity of the current flowing between the terminals of each contact when it is actuated. This arrangement considerably limits the power dissipated by the module.
- the module 20 also includes elements for testing the operation of the detection members allowing the simulation of actuation or not of the contacts.
- a first test element 8 is interposed between the output 11 of the switching voltage regulator and each detection member 7.
- This test element 8 which can be a semiconductor element such as a transistor is controlled by an SCO signal generated by the control installation 30. In response to this SCO signal, the test element 8 opens line 12.
- the input 2 is connected to each resistor 15 by a line 12 'through decoupling diodes 16 and a second test element 9 similar to the element 8.
- the line 12' is normally open.
- the test element 9 is controlled by a signal SC1 generated by the control / command installation 30. In response to this signal SC1, the test element 9 closes the line 12 '.
- test element 8 opens the line 12 as visible in FIG. 2.
- the detection members 7 are no longer supplied with voltage although certain contacts 3 can be actuated.
- the monitoring / control installation can then verify that no detection device supplies an SD detection signal. This test mode simulates the operation of the detection members when the contacts are in the rest state.
- test element 9 closes the line 12 ′ as visible in FIG. 3.
- the detection members 7 are supplied with voltage and must detect a current although certain contacts are at rest. The monitoring / control installation can then check that all the detection devices supply an SD signal. This test mode simulates the operation of the detection devices when the contacts are actuated.
- test elements 8, 9 are supplied by the regulated voltage VR, the time taken by each test element to cut or close the line to which it is connected is independent of variations in the difference in supply potential of the module. This is advantageous in the case where the instants for testing the operation of the detection members must be dated very precisely and uniformly whatever these variations.
