- Process Industry Applications: Applied in chemical plants, refineries, and other industries requiring precise turbine operation.
- Safety and Protection Functions: Includes overspeed protection, critical speed avoidance, actuator travel limits, and event logging for operational safety.
5. Low cost and strong anti-interference ability.
The remote control consists of an infrared receiver and transmitter circuit, a signal conditioning circuit, a central controller 8031,
a program and data memory, a keyboard, and a status indicator circuit.
The remote control has two states: learning state and control state. When the remote control is in learning mode, every time the
user presses a control button, the infrared receiving circuit begins to receive external infrared signals and convert them into electrical signals.
Then, after detection, shaping, and amplification, the CPU samples them at regular intervals. The binary data of each sampling point is stored
in designated storage units in 8-bit units for future control of the device. When the remote control is in control mode, every time the user presses
a control key, the CPU reads
a series of binary data from the designated storage unit and outputs it in series (the time interval between bits is equal to the time interval during
sampling) to the signal holding circuit. At the same time, the modulation circuit modulates the signal, amplifies the modulated signal, and emits
it through an infrared emitting diode, thereby achieving control of the device function corresponding to the key.
