Abstract: A logic input circuit for an industrial equipment automatic control system supplied by a DC voltage source, in particular a battery (16), comprises a voltage step-up energy converter (12) composed of an inductance coil (L) and a switching transistor (TR), connected to the input (E1) of the circuit (10); a logic level detector (DL) having a optocoupler; and a clock circuit (H) controlling the transistor (TR) by adjusting the frequency or the duty cycle to perform voltage matching with the signals applied to the input (E1), and also the value of the voltage surge generated in logic high state (1) by the inductance coil (L) when switching of the transistor (TR) to the off state takes place.

Abstract: An electronic equipment for onboard process control includes a first detection stage with a plurality input circuits, comprising each a first transformer having a primary coil connected to the corresponding input via a first hashing transistor, and a secondary coil connected to a diode rectifier circuit. A first clock sends control signals to the first hashing transistor. Adjusting means cooperate with the first clock for adjusting the frequency of the control signals or the cyclic ratio for adapting the voltage of said input circuit. A logic level detector is inserted in the secondary circuit of the first transformer, and is electrically connected to an acquisition circuit. A second recovery stage is connected to a battery supplying the equipment for restoring the energy drained by the input circuits of the first detection stage.
