Abstract: A method for measuring drop time of a control rod cluster integrated with a rod position measurement device is provided, wherein the method is used to measure the drop time of each control rod cluster, and includes: Si, monitoring a voltage Ua of coils in Group A to capture a rod cluster drop signal; S2, searching a point (tmax, Vmax) with a maximum drop speed or with a local maximum drop speed; S3, retroactively calculating, from tmax, an end of a time period T4 when the control rod cluster starts to drop; S4, retroactively searching, from a minimum value point of a drop reference signal DROPref, a start of the time period T4 when the drop reference signal DROPref drops from a maximum value to 33% thereof; and S5, determining, from tmax forward, a time point t6 when a drop speed of the control rod cluster is lower than 0.

Abstract: A full-digital control rod position measurement device and a method thereof. The full-digital rod position measurement device transforms the core process of rod position measurement that is normally processed by an analog circuit or analog-to-digital mixed circuit into a digital processing. The full-digital rod position measurement device comprises an excitation power supply, an integrated interface board, and a universal signal processor. The universal signal processor processes output signals of detectors according to a preset numerical processing algorithm and outputs Gray code rod position signals. The full-digital rod position measurement device and method disclosed by the present disclosure may effectively reduce the complexity of the primary excitation circuit and the secondary measurement signal processing circuit of the detectors, and improve the operation reliability and measurement accuracy of the rod position processing equipment.
