Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for functionally safe data transmission between a sensor and an evaluation unit, which are connected to one another via a signal line.
- sensors are often used to record process variables. Examples include temperature measuring devices that include the temperature of a process medium, flow meters that measure the flow of a process medium in a pipeline section, or level meters that measure the level of a liquid or a bulk material in a container.
- the information from sensors is not required in the immediate vicinity of the sensor, but in a more distant control room or in a control room.
- the sensor is connected to a corresponding evaluation unit via a signal line.
- the data transmission between the sensor and the evaluation unit can, for. B. according to the HART® standard.
- This enables digital communication between the sensor and the evaluation unit.
- the communication signals are generated using a microprocessor and appropriate software.
- the disadvantage here is that the combination of microprocessor and software offers a multitude of error possibilities that are not sufficient for security-relevant applications.
- the sensor Via the bidirectional digital communication between the sensor and the evaluation unit, e.g. B. the sensor can be configured from the evaluation unit.
- a simple way of data transmission between a sensor and an evaluation unit is in PFM technology.
- a 10 mA quiescent current is superimposed on current pulses, the repetition frequency of which corresponds to the sensor state.
- a vibration limit switch FTL325P from Endress + Hauser®
- FTL325P from Endress + Hauser®
- 50 Hz corresponds to the covered state
- 150 Hz to the free state errors are coded with O Hz.
- the disadvantage of this type of signal transmission is that no information is transmitted from the evaluation unit to the sensor.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for functionally safe data transmission between a sensor and an evaluation unit which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above, which in particular enables safe data transmission and at the same time bidirectional communication between evaluation unit and sensor.
- An essential idea of the invention is to provide 2 channels for the data transmission between the sensor and the evaluation unit, the first channel being for digitally generated signals and the second channel being for analog generated signals.
- safety-relevant signals can be transmitted between the sensor and evaluation unit in a purely analog way.
- This analogous path corresponds to the strict safety-relevant regulations.
- Fig. 1 sensor with HART interface in a schematic representation.
- Fig. 2 sensor with PFM interface.
- Fig. 3 sensor and evaluation unit with 2 data channels.
- the 1 shows a sensor S1, which is connected to an evaluation unit AW via a signal line SL.
- the sensor S1 has a sensor MA, which detects the process variable to be determined.
- the sensor MA is connected to an AD converter, which is followed by a microprocessor ⁇ P S1.
- the microprocessor ⁇ P S1 digitally processes the sensor signal into an output variable. This output variable is transmitted to the evaluation unit AW via the interface 11.
- the evaluation unit has an interface 12 corresponding to the interface 11, which is connected to a microprocessor ⁇ P AW1.
- the microprocessor ⁇ P AW1 is connected to a display A and allows the switching of a limit value relay, not shown, depending on predetermined limit values. Via a further physical interface, also not shown, z. B. a connection to a personal computer (PC) for parameterization possible.
- PC personal computer
- the 2 shows a sensor S2, which is connected to an evaluation unit AW2 via a signal line SL.
- the sensor S2 also has a sensor MA, which is connected to an evaluation circuit AS1.
- the sensor signal is processed in the evaluation circuit AS1 using purely analog technology and converted into an output signal which is transmitted in a PFM interface 13 to an evaluation unit AW2 via a signal line SL.
- the evaluation unit AW2 has also has an interface 14 matching the interface 13, which is connected to an evaluation circuit AS2.
- the 3 shows a sensor S, which are connected to one another with an evaluation unit AW via a signal line SL by means of 2 data channels.
- the sensor S also has a sensor MA, an A / D converter A / D, a microprocessor ⁇ PS and an interface IS1. Digital signal processing takes place in the microprocessor ⁇ PS.
- the output signal of the microprocessor ⁇ PS is forwarded to the interface IS1, which converts the output signal into a HART signal.
- the sensor has an analog evaluation circuit ASS, which is connected to a superimposition unit U via a PFM interface IS3.
- the evaluation circuit ASS can also have a low-cost microprocessor, then two microprocessors are available on the sensor side, which increases safety. In a simpler variant, a microprocessor takes over the conversion into the HART signal and the PFM signal.
- the HART signal and the PFM signal are simply superimposed in the superimposition unit U and transmitted to the evaluation unit AW via the signal line SL.
- the HART signal and the PFM signal are separated in a separation unit T and supplied to the corresponding interfaces 12 and 14, respectively.
- the interface 12 is connected to a microprocessor ⁇ P, in which digital signal processing takes place.
- the interface 14 is connected to an analog evaluation circuit ASAW, in which the PFM signal is evaluated in analog technology.
- the HART part can be used, for example, to parameterize the sensor via the display in the evaluation unit AW (TAG, measuring range, unit, ).
- the PFM part can be used to switch off a pump or a valve via a relay, not shown. This is about a safe shutdown to prevent a container from overflowing.
- An essential idea of the invention is to transmit data between a sensor and an evaluation unit in two separate data channels, one data channel transmitting a signal that has been generated at least partially in digital technology and the second channel for signals that are purely analog Generated way.
- safety-relevant signals that comply with strict safety-relevant regulations can be transmitted on the second channel.
- the invention is not limited to vibration limit switches as sensors. It can be applied to any sensors (capacitive, radiometric, pressure, etc.).
