The invention discloses a cable fault on-line detecting and positioning device. The device includes an FPGA module with an
NIOS II soft core processor, a high-speed DA module, an isolation
coupling module, a high-speed AD module and a conditioning circuit. The FPGA module provides clocks needed by all modules, generates a detection
signal formed by modulation of an m sequence and sine
waves, performs related operation
processing of the detection
signal and a reflection
signal, and positions cable faults. The high-speed DA module is used for
digital analog conversion of the detection signal generated by the FPGA module. The isolation
coupling module isolates an output signal of the high-speed DA module and couples the output signal to a cable, and also isolates a reflection signal in the cable and couples the reflection signal to a detection positioning device. The high-speed AD module carries out analog-to-
digital conversion of the reflection signal in the cable and then sends the signal to the FPGA module for
processing. The conditioning circuit is used for conditioning the output signal of the high-speed DA module and an input signal of the high-speed AD module. The device has an on-line detection function, is high in positioning precision, and exhibits a high anti-interference capability.
