Digital arc welding power supply based on real-time operating system

【摘要】 A digital arc welding power supply was designed with the advanced reduced instruction set computer machine (ARM) and embedded real-time multi-task operating system micro C/OS-Ⅱ. The ARM, with its powerful calculating speed and complete peripheral equipments, is very suitable to work as the controller of the digital power supply. The micro C/OS-Ⅱ transplanted in ARM, helps to improve the respondent speed against various welding signals, as well as the reliability of the controlling software. The welding process consists of nine tasks. The tasks of great significance on reliability of the welder, for example, the A/D conversion of current and voltage, enjoy top priority. To avoid simultaneous-sharing on A/D converter and LCD module, two semaphores are introduced in to ensure the smooth performance of the welding power supply. Proven by experiments,the ARM and the micro C/OS-Ⅱ can greatly improve both the respondent speed and the reliability of the digital welder.更多还原
