PCI BASED MULTIFUNCTION,DATA ACQUISITION AND COMPUTATION ACCELERATOR CARD FOR ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR APPLICATION

摘要

This invention relates to an enhanced Peripherial Component Interconnect (PCI) based device (10) for monitoring and control of Electrostatic precipitators (ESPS), comprising: a core module based processor (10) for receiving and transmitting data frames through hardware circuits (05, 08), the hardware circuits (05,08) being enabled for Ethernet and CAN communication, the former (05) being connected to the CAN-based filed level controllers (23,24, 25, 26) via a first port (09), the processor (01) transmitting processed data via a PCI-bus (04) to the device (10); one each hardware circuit (06, 07) for reading analog and digital inputs; a hardware circuit (02) to allow memory access from the processor (01), and further from a PC_based control and monitoring system (20) which incorporates the device (10); a hardware circuit (03) for the PCI - interface chipsets; and a software architecture (19) comprising a plurality of task blocks (11, 12, 13, 14), a driver block (15), an operating system block (16), a hardware layer block (17), and a PCI driver block (18).
