The Design of a I/O Circuits for Driving and Monitoring of the Diesel Generator for Emergency

This paper presents an digital based input/output interface circuit for controlling and monitoring the Diesel Engine Generator for emergency. In order to monitor and control of the Emergency Diesel Engine Generator, controlling and monitoring circuits need 5 analog input channels, 2 pick-up coil measuring circuits, 10 digital input channels containing Broken Wire Detect function, and 7 relay control signal output channels. This system performs signal processing of input signal taking advantage of simple filter circuit, photo-coupler and comparator circuit at analog input parts, and output signals for main relay is designed acting by double control, so it prevents malfunction completely. And it improves accuracy of speed input signal by applying digital circuit that processes rick-up coil signal.
