Definitions
- the invention relates to an analog input adaptable to the electrical output level of a sensor sensitive to a physical parameter.
- Electric or electronic automations generally include one or more signal inputs, in particular analog signals supplied by sensors of physical parameters such as pressure, temperature, linear displacement or any other type of parameter.
- the automation is designed to provide preprogrammed functionality based on the level or status of these parameters.
- FIG. 1a shows the block diagram of an analog input 10 of the state of the art connected to the output of a sensor 12 supplying the analog input a voltage Vs as a function of a physical parameter used by the automation.
- the analog input 10 essentially comprises an analog / digital converter 14 driven by its analog input 16 through a level 18 adaptation interface, by the voltage Vs at the sensor output and a voltage reference Vr 20 for the converter analog / digital 14.
- the analog / digital converter 14 provides digital information, at its digital output 22, depending on the level of the input voltage Vs applied to its analog input 16. This digital information is used by an electronic processing circuit, for example an automation .
- the voltage reference 20 is necessary to obtain the precision of conversion into digital of the analog voltage applied to the input 16 of the analog / digital converter 14.
- the theoretical dynamics of the analog input level Vs is a fixed value corresponding to the usual normalized dynamics of the sensors, for example from 0 to 10 volts.
- Figures 1b, 1c and 1d respectively show three types of sensors 24, 26 and 28 that can be connected to the analog input of Figure 1a.
- the sensor connected to the analog input can be: - or a 0-10 volt 24 sensor (see Figure 1b) providing a voltage between 0 and 10 volts precisely corresponding to the analog voltage range allowed by the analog input to benefit from the maximum resolution of the analog / digital converter.
- the disadvantage of such a 0-10 volt sensor is that it requires a regulated supply voltage so that it provides a maximum output voltage always equal to 10 volts.
- the potentiometer 26 provides a variable voltage between 0 volts and the voltage of the hot spot 30 of the potentiometer as a function of the position of the cursor.
- the hot spot 30 of the potentiometer is usually at the potential of the supply voltage Vcc of the electrical system including among other things the automation. This supply voltage Vcc is not very stable and sometimes unregulated, each electronic element of the system comprising its own regulation device.
- the drawback of using the potentiometer 26 of FIG. 1c supplied by the unregulated voltage Vcc is that, if the supply voltage Vcc becomes lower than the maximum voltage accepted by the analog / digital converter, there is no benefit from the resolution of the converter, when the cursor is at the hot spot 30 of the potentiometer. On the other hand, if the supply voltage Vcc exceeds the maximum voltage admitted by the analog / digital converter, the mechanical movement of the cursor is limited to this maximum voltage of the converter, which limits the measurement range of the parameter in this case the maximum possible movement of the cursor to the hot spot of the potentiometer.
- the output voltage of the potentiometer for the same position of the cursor, will vary as a function of the voltage Vcc applied to its hot spot, which affects the reliability of a position measurement.
- the regulated sensor 28 of FIG. 1d is used.
- the regulated sensor 28 includes the potentiometer 26 of FIG. 1c, the hot spot 30 of which is supplied by the supply voltage Vcc through a voltage regulator 32 in order to maintain the hot spot of the potentiometer substantially equal to 10 volts, which has the disadvantage of increasing the cost of the sensor and therefore that of the automation.
- the invention provides an analog input for electronic circuit intended to be connected to an electrical output of a sensor for measuring a physical parameter, the sensor being supplied by a voltage.
- RN characterized in that it comprises a computer controlling the analog / digital converter to carry out, an analog-digital conversion of the supply voltage Vcc, the analog / digital converter providing the computer with a digital value
- Vn (r / Ralim). R N.
- One of the main objects of the invention is that the analog input is reliable and ensures the same measurement accuracy whatever the sensor supply voltage or whatever the type of sensor.
- Other objects of this invention are: to benefit from the resolution of the analog / digital converter.
- Another economic object of the invention is to reduce the cost of analog input by simplifying its manufacture.
- the analog input comprises at least two analog / digital converters, a first converter for digitizing the supply voltage Vcc and a second converter for digitizing the analog voltage Vs at the output of the sensor.
- the analog input comprises a single analog / digital converter and a multiplexer of the signals from different sensors, each of the signals being digitized sequentially by the analog / digital converter, the multiplexer being controlled by the computer.
- FIG. 1a shows a block diagram of an analog input of the state of the art
- FIG. 1b, 1c and 1d respectively show three types of sensors usually connected to the analog input of Figure 1a;
- - Figure 2 shows a block diagram of an analog input according to the invention comprising two analog / digital converters;
- FIG. 2 represents the block diagram of an analog input 40, according to the invention, supplied by a supply voltage Vcc and receiving by an input terminal 42 the analog voltage Vs at the output of a sensor.
- the sensor is a potentiometer 44 connected by its hot point to the supply voltage Vcc and by its cold point to a reference potential Vm, for example the ground of the analog input.
- the analog input 40 comprises a first 46 and a second 48 analog / digital converters, the first converter 46 receiving by its analog input 50 through a first voltage adapter 52, the supply voltage Vcc, the second converter 48 receiving by its analog input 54 through a second voltage adapter 56, the analog voltage Vs to be measured taken at the cursor of potentiometer 44.
- the first analog / digital converter 46 provides at its digital output 58, the digital value of the supply voltage Vcc, the second converter 48 provides at its digital output 60 the digital value r of the analog voltage level Vs of the sensor.
- the analog input 40 comprises a computer 64 programmed to drive the two analog / digital converters, the computer receiving the two digital information Ralim and r from the converters analog / digital and providing digital information Vn as a function of the position of the cursor of potentiometer 44 such as:
- the computer is configured to perform the following sequences:
- the computer 64 controls the conversion, by the first converter 46, of the analog supply voltage Vcc of the sensor into a first digital value Ralim, then the storage of this first digital value in a RAM 68 of the computer;
- the computer 64 controls the conversion, by the second converter 48, of the analog voltage Vs of the sensor into a second digital value r, then the storage of this second digital value in the RAM ;
- the number of possible states measured by the converter will be 256.
- the measurement accuracy of the output voltage for a full scale voltage of 10 volts will depend on the resolution of the converter.
- FIG. 3 represents a block diagram of another analog input 70 according to the invention comprising a signal multiplexer 72 and a single analog / digital converter 74.
- the analog / digital converter 74 receives, through a voltage adapter 76, the voltage of one of the selected inputs of the signal multiplexer 72.
- the multiplexer 72 has n + 1 inputs (eO, e1, e2, ... ex, ... en) and an output 78 connected through the voltage adapter 76 to the analog input 80 of the analog / digital converter 74
- the first input eO (for example) of the multiplexer is connected to the supply voltage Vcc each of the other inputs of the multiplexer (e1, e2, .. ex, .. en) being connected to a respective sensor C1, C2 ,. .. Cn respectively supplying voltages Vs1, Vs2 ... Vsn corresponding to the different physical parameters measured by these sensors.
- the advantage of the analog input 70 according to the invention is that the sensors can be of a different nature such as those of FIGS. 1b, 1c, 1d.
- the analog input 70 comprises a computer 82 configured to drive the analog / digital converter 74 and the signal multiplexer 72.

- the sequence of measurements of the voltages Vs1, Vs2, ... Vsx, .. Vsn therefore of the sequence of the selections of the inputs of the multiplexer, can be subject to priorities preprogrammed in the computer.
- Vsx (rx / Rio).
- RN RIO being the numerical value corresponding to the maximum output voltage of the sensor, ie 10 volts.

- the configuration of the computer can be obtained by programming, using a series of instructions stored in a memory, dead of the computer.
- the analog / digital converter has a resolution greater than the announced resolution of the input.
- a higher resolution of the analog-to-digital converter than that required for the measurement accuracy for the announced measurement range allows the measurement of exceedances of the values of the parameters to be measured.
- an eight-bit converter will measure 256 voltage levels while a 10-bit converter will allow measure 1024 levels.
- These overshoots are possible insofar as the measurement voltage range of the analog input is greater than the supply voltage of the product in order to be able to measure it.
- the analog input according to the invention allows the detection of overshoots by the fact that the computer takes into account the supply voltage of the sensor.
- the advantage of the analog input according to the invention lies in the fact that it is not necessary to use a voltage reference for the analog / digital converter, the computer taking into account the value of the voltage of sensor supply, which reduces the cost of the automation.
