Definitions
- the invention relates to a driving circuit system for driving at least two DC signal lamps.
- signal lamps are normally controlled via a two-wire circuit. For safety reasons these wires have to be supervised whether there is a short circuit to earth or between two wires to avoid the unintended lightening of a signal lamp.
- a driving circuit system for driving at least two DC signal lamps comprising:
- the above object is achieved, in accordance with the invention, by a method for detecting earth faults and interwire short circuits in the driving circuit system described above, wherein in a normal operation mode of the driving circuits, in which a signal lamp is turned on by connecting it to the positive and negative poles of the first power supply via the switches, an earth fault of a driving circuit is detected due to a leckage current measured by the central amperemeter, an interwire short circuit between wires of two driving circuits is detected due to a difference of the currents measured by the locals amperemeters of one of the two driving circuits, and an interwire short circuit between wires of one driving circuit is detected due to a comparison between the measured current and the expected current computed by both the measured voltage and the resistance of the wires and of the signal lamp.
- a driving circuit system which supports automatic supervision and detection of earth faults and interwire short circuits within safety-critical systems using DC current for switching electrical devices.
- the driving circuit system 1 for driving two DC signal lamps 2a, 2b comprises:
- First power supply 3 is powerful enough to supply all signal lamps 2a, 2b simultaneously.
- Second power supply 4 may to be less powerful because it has to supply one signal lamp only.
- Power supply U E resulting from the different potentials can be very weak because it is used for earth fault detection only.
- the central amperemeter 6 is placed between the two power supplies 3,4 to check earth faults. Periodical testing of the central amperemeter 6 is done by closing the switch S E .
- the driving circuit system 1 specifies three voltages: U 1 and U 2 for signal lamp supply and U E for earth fault detection.
- Each driving circuit 10a, 10b comprises:
- Each signal lamp 2a, 2b is connected with the switches S 3 , S 4 by a two- wire cable, wherein the resistance of the signal lamp 2a, 2b is represented by R v and the resistance of one wire 11 is represented by R L .
- the switches S 1 -S 4 can be implemented by relays or any semiconductor switch. The correct working of the switches S 1 -S 4 is checked by measuring the voltage V 1 -V 4 between the connections of the switches S 1 -S 4 and the occurrence of the expected current and is done by the control unit 17. All local amperemeters 13 and voltmeters 15 1 -154 are provided with low-pass filters (not shown). In addition to the diodes 16, further protective components (not shown) can be provided to avoid distortion caused by inductive load switching.
- Each control unit 17 of the driving circuit 10a, 10b is controlled by the master control 7 and can be realized for example by a microcontroller.
- Each control unit 17 supervises the voltages U A ,V 1 -V 4 and currents I E , I H , I R , actuates the switches S 1 -S 4 and defines the output voltage of the DC-DC converter 12.
- the master control 7 commands a control unit 17 to switch on or off the signal lamp 2a, 2b, determines an operation mode of a control unit 17 and organizes the process of measurement of earth faults EF and interwire short circuits ISC. Errors which have been detected by control units 17 are reported to the master control 7 immediately.
- the driving circuits 10a, 10b can be operated in a "normal operation mode" and a "test operation mode".
- a signal lamp 2a, 2b is turned on by connecting it to the positive and negative poles of the first power supply 3 via the switches S 1 -S 4 . If a signal lamp 2a, 2b has to be turned on switches S 1 and S 2 are in position 1, SH is in position 1 and S R in position 2. If a signal lamp has to be turned off switches S EH and S ER are in position 1, switches S H and SR in position 2.
- Interwire short circuits ISC between the two wires 11 of one driving circuits 10a, 10b can be deduced by measurement of U A and knowledge of I H and Rv and R L .
- the expected value of I H can be calculated.
- I H U A / (R v + 2 R L ).
- a deviation is an evidence for the occurrence of a short circuit or a wire breaking.
- R L of wire 11 may however alter depending on temperature influences R L can be measured in the test operation mode which is explained hereinafter.
- RL has to be known for the detection.
- the master control 7 regulates the permission of a driving circuit 10a, 10b to switch into the test operation mode. If a driving circuit 10a, 10b has finished the test master control 7 is informed accordingly.
- driving circuit 10a If, for example, driving circuit 10a is in the test operation mode the switches S 1 , S 2 move into position 2 and the driving circuit 10a is connected to second power supply 4. If its signal lamp 2a was turned on it still remains turned on except for the short moment of alternating the power supply.
- the electrical potential of the driving circuit 10a is below that of driving circuit 10b, i.e. of all other driving circuits. Any possible interwire short circuits ISC between this unit 10a and the others will lead to a leckage current I E .
- the potential difference at least amounts to voltage U E .
- the leakage current I E can be detected by calculating the difference of I H and I R if its signal lamp 2a is turned on. If signal lamp 2a is turned off, leakage current I E leads to values of I H and I R unequal to zero.
- Switch S E is closed and I E must arise, otherwise a fault of switch SE, of amperemeter IE or ground connection must be supposed.
