In view of the present mechanical current
meter big power consumption, lower attitude measuring precision, large volume,
complex maintenance, velocity of flow measurement data of the single, we design
a controller based on local area network (controller area network,CAN) bus
STM32F103RCT6 as the control core of current meter measurement and control
module, low power machinery and gives the overall structure, hardware interface
circuit of measurement and control module system, communication protocol,
software design and main technical index. The results of marine experiments
show that this module not only realizes the signal acquisition and control of
current velocity and flow direction, but also realizes the measurement of
different current velocity and flow direction through the expansibility of CAN
bus, which increases the range of marine hydrological survey and improves its
flexibility.
