[0042] The system and method for real-time collection and statistical data of the production line of the present invention converts all kinds of information produced into digital level, pulse and other signals through one or more data collection terminals, and the data collector collects, stores and timely Reported to the distributed control machine; after the distributed control machine reads the production information from multiple data collectors of one or more production lines for statistics and analysis, it displays some key production data on the display in real time On the terminal, to guide the production line managers to adjust the production rhythm in time; at the same time, the collected, statistical and analyzed data are regularly reported to the centralized server through the Ethernet interface; the centralized server performs multiple distributions from many pipelines The production information in the integrated control machine is stored and the production report is generated; the production line manager can inquire various production reports stored in the centralized server on the management report query PC through the transmission of Ethernet, as its real-time adjustment of the production beat And an important basis for controlling product quality.
[0043] The above technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.
[0044] Such as figure 1 Shown is the structural block diagram of the system for real-time collection and statistical data of the production line of the present invention. The system includes: a centralized server (such as a remote server) 101, one or more distributed control machines 102, and one or more data collectors 103 , Multiple data collection terminals 104, display module 105, and report query terminal 106. among them:
[0045] The centralized server 101 can be a remote server. As the database of the entire system, it can be connected to many distributed control machines 102. It is mainly responsible for the storage, analysis, statistics and report generation of various production situation data of the production line, and provides for production scheduling and deployment. Data support.
[0046] The multi-distributed control machine 102 is the main control part of the system execution. Its external interfaces mainly include: an Ethernet interface for communication with a centralized server, an RS232 interface for communication with a data collector, and an interface with a display module.
[0047] The multi-distributed control machine 102 is generally borne by a PC (it can also be borne by a network computer NC or an embedded control system). It is connected with one or more data collectors 103 to collect the data in the data collector 103 in real time. After preliminary analysis and statistics, it is displayed on the display module 105, and the production information is regularly stored in the database of the centralized server 101. As the main control system for data collection in a small area, it is mainly used to achieve:
[0048] (1) Control data collection
[0049] Control the data collection of the data collector 103, read the data in the data collector 103 in real time, query the running status of the data collector 103 and its network connection status, so that the production data collection system in a small area is in a normal running state . When it inquires that the data collector 103 itself is faulty or its communication part is faulty, it starts the exception handling process to try to repair the fault of the data collector 103 or the communication network failure; when the fault cannot be repaired, the distributed control machine 102 will Send an alarm signal to the management staff at the production site to notify the management staff to detect system equipment.
[0050] (2) Collect, store and query production data in a small area
[0051] As a data acquisition control system in a small area, the distributed control machine 102 needs to control the data collector 103 to collect all the production information in the small area, and realize a certain capacity of real-time storage of the collected data for short time Data analysis and display, so that on-site managers can query the historical production information of the production line.
[0052] (3) Analyze and display production data in a small area
[0053] The distributed control machine 102 is also connected with the display module 105 to perform preliminary analysis on the data stored in real time, and display key data that affect the production quality and production cycle on the display module 105 in real time. By referring to these key production data, the production site manager decides whether it is necessary to coordinate the production tempo or check the related production process and equipment.
[0054] The distributed control machine 102 is also responsible for the control of data classification and storage and production rhythm. In the production process, the production efficiency of the production line has a great correlation with the production cycle. The production cycle depends on two factors: the coordination of the production capacity of each process and the qualified rate of the produced product. If the production capacity of each process is inconsistent, according to the short board principle, the total production efficiency is equal to the process with the lowest production capacity. Through the analysis of real-time data by the distributed control machine 102, the production capacity of each production process can be effectively adjusted, so that the beats of each process are coordinated and the optimal effect is achieved. When the pass rate of the produced product is too low, the produced product will cause the quality of the production to deteriorate. This situation may be caused by a problem in a certain component or a certain production link. The fault classification and real-time display function of the distributed control machine 102 can enable the production site management personnel to correct the fault in time and ensure the quality of the produced product.
[0055] (4) Access data to the database of the centralized server 101
[0056] The distributed control machine 102 converts the production information into a storage format of a standard database with the centralized server 101, and transmits it to the centralized server 101 to achieve permanent storage of production data. At the same time, the 102 distributed control machine can also query the history records of all production information by accessing the centralized server 101.
[0057] The data collector 103 is connected to one or more data collection terminals, and is used to collect data from various types of data collection terminals 104, and isolate, reshape, read and read the electrical signals transmitted from the data collection terminals 104. The data is stored and transmitted to the distributed control machine 102 via the network in real time.
[0058] The data collection terminal 104 may have a variety of models, and is used to convert the production information on site into digital electrical signals such as levels and pulses, and transmit them to the data collector 103.
[0059] The display module 105 is used to display the key production information in its jurisdiction in real time under the control of the distributed control machine 102, so that the production site management personnel can understand it in time, and adjust the production rhythm accordingly; Take timely measures in case of abnormal production.
[0060] The management report query PC 106 is connected to the centralized server 101 for querying and printing all historical records of production information stored in the centralized server.
[0061] The control procedure of the distributed control machine in the system of the present invention mainly includes: a power-on initialization procedure and an information processing procedure. among them:
[0062] Power-on initialization process: After the distributed control machine is powered on, the PC system is initialized first, and then the data acquisition system client software is started to start the initialization of the production line real-time classification data acquisition system:
[0063] First, scan and initialize the connected data collector to make sure that the data collector connected to the distributed control machine is in a normal working state;
[0064] Then try to connect to the remote server to determine whether the remote server can provide data storage services;
[0065] Finally, power on to initialize the display module and display the key production data.
[0066] Information processing flow: After the above initialization work is completed, the data collector is scanned every two seconds by default, and the data representing the production information is read from the data collector;
[0067] After format conversion and analysis of the read data, the production information is displayed in real time through the display module;
[0068] When a data collector is in an abnormal working state, it will try to repair the fault many times; when the fault cannot be solved, it will issue a fault alarm to the on-site management personnel;
[0069] Write production information to the remote server within a certain period of time to achieve permanent storage of the production information; or, read the production information from the remote server and display it.
