The invention provides a letter sorting
machine control system based on
EtherCAT double-link redundancy. The letter sorting
machine control system comprises a main controller, a redundancy switching unit, a distributed slave
station and
branch control module, a belt transmission module and a grid display module. The main controller adopts multi-core CPU function isolation, binds different tasks to corresponding cores and allocates execution cycles; the redundancy switching unit constructs a double-link annular redundancy network, automatic switching is achieved when links are abnormal, and communication stability is guaranteed; the distributed slave stations are provided with terminal modules according to needs, are integrated in slave
station boxes and are flexibly connected to execution components of all functional areas. And the lattice display module adopts a group leader-group member structure, so that the load of a main network is reduced. The
system sets priorities for
EtherCAT network groups based on
signal real-time performance, realizes IO
signal rapid response, and supports flexible expansion of slave
station boxes. The reliability, the real-time performance and the expansibility of letter sorting control are improved, the method is suitable for a high-speed sorting scene, and the efficient operation requirement of the postal logistics industry is met.
