2.1 MCU selection
MCU is the core of the low-voltage measurement and control device. It implements data acquisition, data processing, output control, network communication, and human-computer interaction functions. Here uses the MCF51EM256 processor recently released by Freescale, which uses a high-speed 32-bit ColdFire V1 core (with hardware multiply-accumulate MAC unit), on-chip integrated with programmable delay module PDB and four 16-bit SAR ADC, PDB can be directly Control the sampling of the trigger ADC, complete the high-accuracy AC sampling and measurement of voltage, current, leakage current, temperature. Combined with the high-speed 32-bit COLDFIRE core, various measurement and control protection arithmetic algorithms can be realized. The hardware independent RTC and two secure FLASH memories can complete the event record management function, and at the same time, through remote firmware update, reduce the maintenance cost of the device.

2.2 Signal processing
The low-voltage protection measurement and control device mainly collects 8-phase analog signals of three-phase AC current, three-phase AC voltage, leakage current and temperature. Signal sampling is carried out through resistance voltage divider, current sensor, etc., after the internal reference of the MCU is raised, the operational amplifier is amplified and filtered, and then directly connected to the four 8-channel 16-bit ADC pins inside the MCU. The AC sampling conversion of the ADC provides interrupt service for the MCU to collect the ADC conversion results. This data collection method that is not controlled by the MCU program improves the operation efficiency of the MCU. The input signal of the 9-channel switch dry contact switch used to monitor the switching signals of circuit breakers and contactors is connected to the GPIO pin of the MCU after the optocoupler isolation. The MCU obtains the on-site switch information by interrupting the regular query. MCU through high-speed signal acquisition and intelligent analysis and logic processing through the on-chip GPIO output 5 relays to protect and control the output operation, signal processing circuit shown in Figure 4.

2.3 Communication circuit
The low-voltage protection measurement and control device adopts a bus-type distributed network communication structure. At present, the mainstream is RS485-ModBus bus, RS485-ProfiBus bus, CAN-DeviceNet bus, of which the most commonly used is RS485 ModBus bus. Through the SCI unit in the MCF51EM256 chip, using the high-speed optocoupler 6N137 isolation and TI's anti-ESD SN75LBC184 485 chip hardware design, the software writes the MODBUS-RTU protocol module to support 01, 02, 03, 04, 06, 10 and other command operations . At the same time, using the other two SCI parts on the chip, the standard ProfiBus-DP, CAN-DeviceNet, and Ethernet modules can be extended to complete the communication of other bus networks. The RS485-ModBus communication circuit is shown in Figure 5.
