Research on Synchronized Data Acquisition System Based on Distributed Clock

The clock synchronization of mine distributed acquisition system is the key to its normal operation, and the realization of a unified time benchmark is the premise of subsequent data processing. To capture a more accurate gas migration process, in the physical similarity simulation experiment of coal and natural gas, a synchronous data acquisition system based on SQL database and distributed clock is developed to obtain synchronous real-time data. SQL database is used to establish a data collection center to solve the data exchange problem between the three units of storage, collection, and display in the system. The three units are connected in parallel, which simplifies the data flow structure in the system and improves the communication efficiency. In addition, the security and reliability of data storage are greatly improved. Based on the distributed clock, the communication structure of the data acquisition unit is constructed. In a distributed way, the data are aggregated according to the object and finally uploaded to the data acquisition center through TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). It meets the requirements of synchronous communication between acquisition boards and provides a reliable data acquisition scheme for the physical simulation system of simultaneous exploitation of coal and natural gas. The physical similarity simulation experiment takes a mine in Shanxi Province as the simulation object. On the basis of this system, the physical similarity simulation experiments of gas emission under different mining conditions are carried out. In this process, the distribution maps of mining stress changes in overlying strata and gas concentration changes in different mining areas are obtained. The results of data acquisition are verified by numerical simulation. The results show that the system can effectively maintain the data acquisition of various areas in the mine. © 2022 Yuyu Hao et al.
