Chapter 3: Functional Principles of the Whole Machine
1. Complete signal processing link
External single-phase AC sampling → bandpass filtering shaping → zero crossing detection circuit, extracting waveform rising edge pulses; Compare the waveform period of the 1/2MHz reference clock of the crystal oscillator, convert the measured frequency, and send the BCD code to the comparator.
2 Core Logic Processes
Low voltage lockout discrimination: If the sampling voltage is lower than the set value on the panel, all frequency comparison and timing circuits will be directly blocked, and the low voltage alarm light will light up;
Frequency comparison: Compare the measured frequency with the set values of each group of dialing codes, with O-mode overclocking start and U-mode low-frequency start;
Three cycle anti shake: Only when the frequency is abnormal for three consecutive cycles, will the Pickup indicator light be triggered to filter out instantaneous frequency fluctuations;
Fixed delay timing: Accumulate timing based on S7 magnification/unit setting, and drive the main trip, auxiliary contact, and latch fault light after delay;
Fault reset: The frequency returns to normal and lasts for 3 cycles, the Pickup light goes out, and the output contacts reset; The fault light needs to be manually reset and cleared.
3 Key Hardware Module Description
Crystal oscillator benchmark: high-precision clock ensures 0.01Hz frequency resolution accuracy;
Cycle Extreme Value Logic: Distinguish between the lower limit of 30Hz and the upper limit of 80Hz, and calculate the delay based on the boundary value when exceeding the limit;
Power module: Wide range isolated flyback power supply, non-polar AC input, optional power failure alarm normally closed contact;
There are two types of fault indicator lights: built-in driver (no need for large tripping current) and current driver (can only light up when the circuit is ≥ 200mA).

Chapter 5 Standardized Whole Machine Testing Process
1. Essential testing equipment
Adjustable frequency conversion AC source, AC/DC power supply, timing instrument, multimeter; The frequency stability requirement for the variable frequency source is within 0.00002Hz.
Step by step standard testing procedures
Frequency startup value verification: Test the over frequency and under frequency gears separately, and the measured value error is ≤± 0.01Hz;
Cycle delay test: Set the magnification and cycle, measure the action time and verify the theoretical calculation value;
Second level delay test: Fixed second level, verifying that the delay is not affected by frequency changes;
Low voltage lockout test: Slowly reduce the sampling voltage, and after it falls below the set value, the frequency protection will be completely locked;
Repeat the above complete set of tests with multiple sets of fixed values (2/3/4 channels) to verify that the channels are independent and do not interfere with each other.
