Description

A CONTROLLER INCLUDING A INPUT / OUTPUT MODULE AND A MAIN MODULE,

The present invention relates to a controller including an independent input / output module and a main module, and more particularly to a controller in which an input / output portion of a controller is separated into separate independent input / output modules.

Various kinds of controllers are used for various mechanical devices or electronic devices.

1 is a configuration diagram of a conventional controller.

The controller 100 is connected to the control object through the control connector 110 and includes an analog input / output unit 120, a digital input / output unit 130, a power supply unit 140, a storage device 150, .

If the object to be controlled is an aircraft engine, various sensors of the engine are connected to the controller through wires in the control connector 110, the number of which can range from tens to hundreds of strands, and the control connector 110 has tens to hundreds of connectors So that a pin is formed. If you have dozens to hundreds of connector pins in a connector, the size of the connector pin is very small and not robust

In this case, several tens to several hundreds of connector pins are not robust and are frequently damaged when connected to a control object. In a conventional controller, if a connector pin is damaged, there is a problem in replacing the entire controller.

Further, when the controller is replaced, the connector pin must be separated from the control object. Therefore, there is a problem that the connector pin having low rigidity is frequently engaged and disassembled.

Patent literature related to a conventional controller is Patent Document 1.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is conceived to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and it is an object of the present invention to replace only the damaged part without replacing the entire controller when the connector pin connected to the control object is damaged.

It is another object of the present invention to replace the controller with another controller without removing the connector pin.

A controller according to an embodiment of the present invention is a controller including an independent input / output module and a main module, wherein the independent input / output module includes a control connector, which can be connected to a control object and has a plurality of pins; An analog input / output unit capable of inputting / outputting an analog signal; A digital input / output unit capable of inputting and outputting a digital signal; And an independent input / output module side connection unit, wherein the main module includes: a power supply unit for supplying power; A storage device capable of storing data; A control unit having a control function; And a main module side connection part.

The controller may further include a cable connecting the independent input / output module side connection unit and the main module side connection unit.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a controller including an independent input / output module and a main module, wherein the independent input / output module includes a control connector connected to a control object and having a plurality of pins; An analog input / output unit capable of inputting / outputting an analog signal; A digital input / output unit capable of inputting and outputting a digital signal; An independent input / output module side wireless communication unit; Wherein the main module includes: a power supply unit for supplying power; A storage device capable of storing data; A control unit having a control function; A main module side wireless communication unit; And a control unit.

1 is a block diagram of a conventional controller
2 is a block diagram of a controller according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, a controller including an independent input / output module and a main module according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following drawings are provided by way of example so that those skilled in the art can fully understand the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the following drawings, but may be embodied in other forms.

The controller according to the present invention can be applied to various mechanical devices or electronic devices.

For example, it can also be applied to an EECU (electrical engine control device) of FADEC (an apparatus for electronically controlling an aircraft's jet engine) of an aircraft gas turbine engine.

2 is a block diagram of a controller according to the present invention.

The controller according to the present invention includes an independent input / output module (200) and a main module (300).

The independent input / output module 200 includes a control connector 210, an analog input / output unit 220, and a digital input / output unit 230.

The control connector 210 may be connected by a harness cable or other cable.

The analog input / output unit 220 is an apparatus that can input or output an analog signal, and can process an analog signal to be controlled.

The digital input / output unit 230 is an apparatus that can input or output a digital signal, and can process a digital signal to be controlled.

The main module 300 includes a power supply unit 340, a storage device 350, a control unit 360, and a communication related unit 370.

The power supply unit 340 supplies necessary power to the main module 300.

The storage device 350 is a memory device that stores necessary data, and may be an element such as a ROM or a RAM.

The control unit 360 is an apparatus for controlling the operation of the main module, and may be implemented by a CPU. The control unit 360 receives various signals from the sensor to be controlled and generates various signals for controlling the controlled object.

The communication-related unit 370 is a device for converting and generating a signal to be sent to a control object. The control unit 360 controls the role of the communication related unit 370 and omits the communication related unit 370. If the communication related unit 370 for converting and generating the signal to be controlled is separately provided, The control unit 360 can concentrate on other tasks, and the control performance can be improved.

The independent input / output module 200 and the main module 300 need a means for data communication.

It is possible to form a wired connection on both sides and establish a wired connection, or a wireless communication unit may be provided on both sides to perform wireless communication. If you have a wired connection, you need an extra cable to connect the I / O module side connection and the main module side connection. Even if a wired connection is made, the number of wires of the wired connection cable is formed to be much smaller than the number of wires of the control connector 210. [ Therefore, the number of connecting pins is relatively small, so that the connecting pins can be made solid.

When wireless communication is performed, technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID, and NFC can be applied.

If the independent input / output module 200 and the main module 300 are connected by wireless communication, when the controller is replaced, only the communication setting with the main module 300 to be communicated by the independent input / output module 200 is changed, There are advantages to be able to.

The wired connection between the independent input / output module 200 and the main module 300 may be realized by an optical communication instead of the transmission of the electric signal. That is, the cable connecting the independent input / output module 200 and the main module 300 may be a cable using metal wires or an optical communication cable.

The input / output module may be provided with a separate power supply unit to process all the input / output signals and then transmit the data to the main module. However, the input / output module may be configured to transmit data to the main module only with minimal processing .
