DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As shown in FIG. 1, a ZIGBEE star-like wireless control technique is adopted for the wireless control network system provided by the invention, and the control platform has high extensibility, can form a large communication application network, and can extend a plurality of application nodes randomly under the condition of no modification or few modification. From FIG. 1, we can see that the wireless network based plant tissue culture LED light source control system provided by the invention consists of a master control end (also named a master controller) and slave control ends (also named slave controllers), and the master control end and the slave control ends are communicated by a ZIGBEE mode. The parameter setting, sending and receiving for the master control end are realized. The slave control ends implement driving control, receives and executes the set parameters sent by the master control end, judges, stores the parameters, and executes the data command.
As shown in FIG. 2, two microprocessors are adopted for controlling the master control end, and the master control end comprises a first microprocessor, a second microprocessor, a memory, a real-time clock, a display device, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a serial, communication interface (SCI), a USB (Universal Serial Bus) communication interface, operation, keys and control software embedded, in the two microprocessors (the work flow is shown in FIG. 11), wherein the first microprocessor is connected with the second microprocessor through an SPI (serial peripheral interface) bus; the memory is connected with the first microprocessor through a data line; the real-time clock, the display device, the temperature sensor, the humidity sensor and the operation keys are respectively connected with the second microprocessor through the data line; and the SCI and the USB communication interface are arranged on the second microprocessor, and the operation related to setting, sending, receiving of parameters and the like are realized through the mutual match of the control software and hardware of the two microprocessors.
As shown in FIG. 3, a CC2430 receiving and sending control module chip is adopted for the first microprocessor of the master control end, and 51 inner cores are integrated in the chip so as to form multiple wireless control networks and act as a central transceiver station of a wireless control network. For example, the slave control ends send the collected data of temperature, humidity, time and the like to the master control end to treat and judge, and then, the collected data is treated simply in the chip of the third microprocessor of each slave control end, and then is sent to a wireless control transmission port for transmission application. After a transceiver station of the master control end (the first microprocessor of the master control end) detects the data transmission command application of the slave control ends, the transceiver station of the master control end (the first microprocessor) responds to whether the application of the slave control ends receive the transmitted data, and if the slave control ends respond to the receiving, the received data is stored in the memory of the transceiver station (the first microprocessor) temporarily, and the memory and the second microprocessor mutually transmit and exchange data through the SPI bus. If the slave control ends do not respond to the data receiving application, the data is not received. The execution steps of transmission of the master control end are similar, as shown in FIG. 11, the data to be sent is transmitted to the central transceiver station (the first microprocessor) through the SPI bus, and the transceiver station (the first microprocessor) treats the data to be sent and then sends the data to the transmission interface and sends out. But the only difference is that the receiving end of each slave control end should receive and treat the data sent by the master control end.
An AVRMega16 singlechip is adopted for the second microprocessor of the master control end shown in FIG. 4.
The USB communication interface shown in FIG. 5 can perform communication and treatment with a PC (personal computer) machine. For example, when in use, we do not know what setting is done to the master control end in practice and which setting is unnecessary, or need to be changed or errors in time and date exist when in use, and we can connect the PC for the operations of rectification, modification and the like.
The humidity sensor is used for collecting the environment humidity for the growth of plants, supplies electricity of DC(direct-current) of 5V by adopting a CHM-02-type sensor, outputs linear voltage value, and has the advantages of high accuracy, long service life and the like. The temperature sensor is used for collecting the environment temperature of growth for the plants, adopts a 18B20-type sensor, outputs digital signals but not traditional analog quantity, has high temperature measuring accuracy, is communicated with the microprocessors by adopting a single line, and only occupies an I/O (input/output) interface, and the occupation quantity of the I/O interfaces of the second microprocessors is reduced. Fore example, the second microprocessor collects the data of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor, and calculates whether the set temperature value/humidity value is achieved, wherein the initial temperature set in the software is 2-28 DEG C, the initial humidity is set to be 80%-90% of the relative humidity, and parameter value or other types of parameters can be modified through the A/D conversion buttons (see FIG. 9) according to the actual condition. The second microprocessor extracts and detects the data quantity/voltage value of the temperature sensor/humidity sensor for calculation and judgment, if the set value of temperature/humidity is detected to be greater than or less than the initial set value, the second microprocessor outputs high electrical level through setting two I/O interfaces of pin 25 (T Expansion port)/pin 26 (H Expansion port) so as to drive the peripheral control circuit, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. Temperature/humidity sensor control ports are controlled by two I/O interfaces 1 of a pin 25 and a pin 26 of the second microprocessor When the I/O interfaces output high electrical level (DC 5V), the I/O interfaces, are connected to a base electrode of a triode with the NPN polarity through a current-limiting resistor. The collector the NPN triode is conducted with an emitting electrode. Because the collector the NPN triode is connected with an external 5V power supply, when the NPN triode is conducted; the power supply of DC 5V is transmitted to the emitting electrode of the NPN triode and a pin 4 of a photoelectric coupler. A pin 3 through the photoelectric coupler forms a loop of current through a grounding system, drives the conduction of the pin 1 and pin 2 of the photoelectric coupler, and intelligently controls the external temperature/humidity sensors and the like, thereby achieving the effective control of the temperature/humidity. From the flow, the NPN triode is adopted and high-voltage anti-interference treatment of circuits of the two electrodes of the photoelectric coupler guarantees the stability of the circuit system,
According to the real-time clock circuit schematic principle diagram shown in FIG. 8, the clock device is connected with the second microprocessor, and is used for providing accurate clock control, A PCF8563 clock chip or other clock chips can be utilized, and the PCF8563 clock chip is preferably adopted, and has high, accuracy and mature development of software and hardware. The RTC circuit can help to awaken the second microprocessor from the low-power-consumption sleep, besides, through the scanning and treatment of the A/D conversion buttons by the second microprocessor, if the buttons are at the time set state, the control, software in, the second microprocessor can access the state of the memory address (OOH,O1H) of the RTC chip and program and call the programs of a register, and can set the year, month, date, minute and second of the register of the RTC chip (08H-02H) accurately. By utilizing an interruption source of the RTC chip itself, when the setting of the second microprocessor (OCH-week alarm, OBH-date alarm, OAH-time alarm, 09H-minute alarm) is not involved in the internal operation, the RTC circuit can accumulate and calculate the time, once the accumulated time achieves the set value, an interruption alarm signal is generated in the RFC, and the interruption treatment information is submitted to the second microprocessor through a 12C data general circuit interface. When the second microprocessor treats the application, the second microprocessor treats the application according to the priority level of the interruption source, thus the set time and period can be control led accurately.
According to the A/D conversion buttons shown, in FIG. 9, the voltage quantity of the buttons is subjected to A/D scanning through the second microprocessor, thus the functional buttons corresponding to the voltage quantity are judged and confirmed. But sometimes, if the same button is operated at the different set function pages, the functions of the button are different. This is the issue of button multiplexing.
The display device is used for displaying the various parameters set by the buttons, and is connected with the second microprocessor for screen brusing control through the SPI data amount by adopting a 128*128 black and white dot-matrix liquid crystal display screen LED.
The serial communication interface shown in FIG. 10 is used for debugging the input of data and extended interfaces preserved by the operations of software upgrading and the like. An MAX 3232 chip is preferably adopted, and has wider operating voltage value, and can operate stably and normally in 3-5V.
According to the schematic diagram of the slave control ends shown in FIG. 13, the slave control ends are controlled by adopting a single processor, and each slave control end comprises a third microprocessor, an extended memory, a real-time clock, an SCI, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an I/O (input/output) extended interface and control software (the work flow is shown in FIG. 12) embedded in the third microprocessor. The control, software is used for implementing functional operation of driving control, receiving and the like for the peripheral hardware circuit of the third microprocessor. The third microprocessor and the first microprocessor are communicated by adopting a ZIGBEE mode; the extended memory, the real-time clock, the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are respectively connected with the third microprocessor through the data line; and the SCI and the I/O extended interface are arranged on the third microprocessor.
According to the third microprocessor of each slave control end shown in FIG. 14, a control chip CC2430 of the same type series with the central transceiver station of the master control end is adopted to receive, send and control a module chip, and 51 inner cores are integrated in the chip so as to form multiple wireless control networks, and the control chip CC2430 acts as the receiving and sending terminal in each slave control end, and meanwhile is a core master processor.
For example, the data of temperature, humidity, time and the like collected by each slave control end is treated and judged firstly in the third microprocessor, if the collected data is judged to exceed the normal value, the third microprocessor packs and treats the data exceeding the normal value simply and sends the data into the wireless register in the third microprocessor, and then the data is transmitted out from the transmission port. In order to guarantee that whether the transmitted data is received by the central transceiver station of the master control end, as far as after the central transceiver station of the master control end receives the end data, the central transceiver station of the master control end sends an end confirmation signal of receiving. If the data is sent out at the first time, the master control, end does not send the confirmation signal back, the data is sent out again after one second, and if the data is not received by the master control end at the second time, the parameter sending is canceled from each slave control end. After the master control end receives the data, and sends the confirmation signal from each, slave control end, and the transmission is finished, and the tata communication and transmission, is successful.
The method for transmitting data to the slave control ends by the master control end is mentioned above, we will not repeat any more.
According to the extended memory EEPROM shown in FIG. 15, in the third microprocessor in each slave control end, the third microprocessor acts as a transmission and receiving device, and also acts as a main processor. The program codes to be coded and operated basically fill the memory of the third microprocessor, and in actual operation, the slave control ends extract parameter variables continuously from the detection circuit for storage, thus the extended memory shoulded be extended for the third microprocessor so as to meet the requirement of an access space by the control software.
According to the RTC clock circuit schematic principle diagram of each slave control end shown in FIG. 16, the clock device is connected with the third microprocessor, and is used for providing accurate clock control. A PCF8563 clock chip or other clock chips can be utilized, and the PCF8563 clock chip is preferably adopted, and has high accuracy and mature development of software and hardware. The RTC circuit can help to awaken the third microprocessor from the low-power-consumption sleep, besides, can extract the information of (write/read) time, date, interruption alarm and the like through the data sent by each slave control end, thus the control software in the third microprocessor can access the state of the memory address (OOH,O1H) of the RTC chip and program and call the programs of a register, and can set the year, month, date, minute and second of the register of the RTC chip (08H-02H) accurately. By utilizing an interruption source of the RTC chip itself when the setting of the second microprocessor (OCH-week alarm, OBH-date alarm, OAH-time alarm, 09H-minute alarm) is not involved in the internal operation, the RTC circuit can accumulate and calculate the time, once the accumulated time achieves the set value, an interruption alarm signal is generated in the RTC, and the interruption treatment information is submitted to the third microprocessor through a 12C data general circuit interface. When the third microprocessor treats the application, the third microprocessor treats the application according to the priority level of the interruption source, if the result obtained from the treatment draws the electrical level of the corresponding I/O extended interfaces into a high electrical level, the extended control circuits which drive an MOS tube to be conducted or enable a relay to be actuated enable the on-off of the plant tissue culture lamp to be controlled accurately.
The serial communication interface shown in FIG. 17 is used for debugging the extended interfaces preserved by the operations of input of data, software upgrading and the like. An MAX 3232 chip is preferably adopted, and has wider operating voltage value, and can operate stably and normally in 3-5V.
The main aim for increasing a pair of temperature/humidity sensors in each control module is to reach, the constant-temperature and constant-humidity plant growing environment in each area of the tissue culture room with larger area accurately.
The humidity sensor is used for collecting the environment humidity for the growth of plants, supplying electricity of DC(direct-current) of 5V by adopting a CHM-02-type sensor, and outputting linear voltage value, and has the advantages of high accuracy, long service life and the like.
The temperature sensor is used for collecting the environment temperature of growth for the plants, adopts a 18B20-type sensor, outputs digital signals but not traditional analog quantity, has high temperature measuring accuracy, is communicated with the microprocessors by adopting a single line, and only occupies an I/O (input/output) interface, and the occupation quantity of the I/O interfaces of the third microprocessors is reduced.
Fore example, the third microprocessor collects the data of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor, and calculates whether the set temperature value/humidity value is achieved, wherein the initial temperature set in the software is between 2 DEG C and 28 DEC C, the initial humidity is set to be 80%-90% of the relative humidity, and parameter value or other types of parameters can be set through the master control end. The third microprocessor extracts and detects the data quantity/voltage value of the temperature sensor/humidity sensor for calculation, and judgment regularly. If the set value of temperature/humidity is detected to greater than or less than the initial set value, the third microprocessor packs and treats the data exceeding the normal value simply and sends the data into the wireless register in the third microprocessor, and then the data is transmitted from the transmission port to the master control end for judgment and treatment. If the master control end performs the operation instructions of temperature dropping/rising and humidity increasing/reduction, and sends the operation instructions to the slave control ends, then the micro processors of the slave control ends outputs high electrical level through setting two I/O interfaces of pin 5 (T Expansion port)/pin 8 (H Expansion port) by programming of calling and the like so as to drive the peripheral control circuit, as shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 19. Temperature/humidity sensor control ports are controlled by two I/O interfaces 1 of a pin 25 and a pin 26 of the second microprocessor. When the I/O interfaces output high electrical level (DC 5V), the I/O interfaces are connected to a base electrode of a triode with the NPN polarity through a current-limiting resistor. The collector of the NPN triode is conducted with an emitting electrode. Because the collector of the NPN triode is connected with an external 5V power supply, when the NPN triode is conducted, the power supply of DC 5V is transmitted to the emitting electrode of the NPN triode and a pin 4 connected with the photoelectric coupler. A pin 3 through the photoelectric coupler forms a loop of current through a grounding system, drives the conduction of the pin 1 and pin 2 of the photoelectric coupler, and then drives the high-voltage relay to intelligently controls the external temperature/humidity control devices and the like, thereby achieving the effective control of the temperature/humidity. From the flow, the NPN triode is adopted and high-voltage anti-interference treatment of circuits of the two electrodes of the photoelectric coupler guarantees the stability of the circuit system.
According to the I/O extended interface as shown in FIG. 20, because the third microprocessor of each slave control end is difficult to provide multiple paths of output port control wires to control the peripheral driving circuit, for example, the switch elements of an MOS, a thyristor, a relay and the like, once the system controls the multiple paths of tissue culture lights, the control capability of the third microprocessor is powerless, and the superior performances of the controller are not shown. In order to solve the bottleneck, a (PCF8577) I/O interface extended chip in a 12C communication mode is adopted, and can extend to 32 I/O interfaces, and the defects of the I/O interface of the third microprocessor of each slave control end can be solved only through, providing DC 5V voltage and system ground (GND) as well as two 12C control wires, thus more peripheral control circuit units can be constructed for controlling the plant tissue culture light.
