Description of drawings
Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and set forth in more detail in the following description.The circuit that unique embodiment illustrates for the device of electric monitor loop consists of.
Embodiment
In the embodiment shown in unique figure, the electric equipment 10 that is used for monitor loop comprises two current paths 11,12, respectively access transistor 13,14 switch highway section in described current path 11,12.Two current paths 11,12 are connected on the one hand on two supply voltage terminals 15,16 of in addition unshowned supply-voltage source and are connected on the outside customer 19 via two customer terminals 17,18 on the other hand, wherein also can be a plurality of customers in principle, described a plurality of customers also can be non-ohm customer (for example capacitive character and/or inductive and/or ohm customers).
Parallel branch 20,21 is in parallel with two transistors 13,14 switch highway section respectively, described parallel branch respectively by another transistor 22,23 and low current splitter 24,25 series circuit form.The voltage that extracts at low current splitter 24,25 places is fed to respectively shunt current transducer 26,27, and described shunt current transducer produces with current related signal and with this signal at output and flows to electrical control equipment 28.This control electronics 28 is also respectively via two the first transistors 13 of driver 29 to 32 control, 14 and two transistor secondses 22,23.Described driver 29 to 32 also can be integrated in the control electronics 28 in principle.In addition, control electronics 28 comprises at least one microcontroller 33 or is constructed to such microcontroller.Internal consumption device 34 is in parallel with outside customer 19 in electric equipment 10, and described internal consumption device needn't forcibly be an ohm customer.
Control electronics 28 can be communicated by letter with unshowned outer monitoring or control appliance via bus system 35, especially sends failure message and status message and/or receives external control signal, parametrization signal or programming signal.Also can wirelessly carry out on such communication principle, such as via radio, bluetooth or optically, magnetically, inductively wait and carry out.
The first transistor 13,14 and transistor seconds 22,23 be shown as in the figure power MOSFET.But also can use in principle other transistors or other switch elements.In addition, two the first transistors 13,14 internal resistance also side by side are used as high current splitter.To this alternately, independent high current splitter also can be connected with transistor 13,14, so wherein parallel branch 20,21 must be in parallel with this high current splitter.
Shown and described circuit or corresponding equipment 10 are used for utilizing electric current that the scope conversion in the load branch in switch stage makes up and transverse current to measure and are used for check transistor 13,14 or 22,23 turn-off capacity.By turn-offing in short time one or more in the described transistor in the mode of suitable combination and measuring simultaneously the check that electric current carries out transistorized turn-off capacity.If no current flows under off state, the corresponding transistor that then turn-offs successfully or turn-offed is correctly worked.This measurement also must be worked in the situation without the outside customer 19 that connects, and connects the basic load of internal load or the 34 conduct definition of internal consumption device at the output of equipment 10, so wherein the current flowing of definition is evaluated for this reason.
Normally in service, two passages, also namely two current paths 11,12 are connected into symmetrically, and wherein in order to connect load, all crystals pipe 13,14,22,23 is switched on.Load current is directly transistor 13,14 extract as internal resistance place of high current splitter, and via low current splitter 24,25 and circuit shunt transducer 26,27 measured in combination.
If identify according to circuit shunt transducer 26,27 output signal now, load current is too low for high current measuring range, then two the first transistors 13,14 are turned off or end, the transistor seconds 22,23 and low current splitter 24,25 and correspondingly be extracted at these low current splitter places so that load current is only also flowed through.For two measurements effectively: if shunt current transducer 26, two current measurement values of 27 differ from one another, especially significantly differ from one another, the electric current that then flows to load is not equal to the electric current that flows back to, thereby must have the horizontal short circuit that causes fault current.
All crystals pipe 13,14,22,23 turn-off capacity are tested with being recycled.For this reason transistor 13,14,22 or transistor 13,14,23 be turned off in short time in the modes that repeat.If switch is worked orderlyly, then this causes respectively that measured current flowing interrupts in the low current branch of another passage respectively or parallel branch 20 or 21.Turn-off so in short time respectively transistor, so that the operation of outside customer 19 is unaffected.
In the low ohmic resistance situation high ohm laterally the detection of short circuit can dynamically identify by turn-offing in short time a passage equally according to the present invention, also namely by turn-offing transistor 13,14,22 or transistor 13,14,23.Load therefore alternately in short time positive side or minus side be turned off and the parallel branch 20 to 21 there in the passage that is not turned off in electric current measured.If this current flowing is not to be zero, then there is out of order horizontal short circuit in all switch combinations.
Driver 29 to 32 or transistor 13,14,22,23 control input end also may be implemented as the photoelectricity decoupling, in order to guarantee the control of potential-free.
Control program that be used for to measure circulation is included in control appliance 28 or is included in the microcontroller 33.If identify transistor 13,14,22, one of 23 out of order shutoff or horizontal short circuit, then produce fault-signal or report signal, it is for example to external control or watch-dog report.So there or at electric equipment 10 places, produce warning message acoustics and/or optics or demonstration, wherein also can realize failed storage.Simultaneously turn-off all crystals pipe 13,14,22,23 according to the seriousness of failure condition.
The internal resistance of using in the first transistor 13, the high current splitter of 14 conduct is several milliohms, and be used for low current splitter 24,25 resistance value be selected as from several ohms to kilohm.The transistorized very short turn-off time that for example is used for the measurement turn-off capacity for example is 3 μ s, wherein just can successfully carry out measurement when the short like this time, and the function of outside customer 19 is also unaffected.
