Control apparatus and control system for assembly line equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a control device for controlling production-line equipment. The production-line equipment comprises a plurality of controlled devices, and the control device is positioned in an industrial computer and connected with all controlled devices through a communication card. The control device comprises an operation mode control module used for controlling the setting and conversion of the operation mode of each function control module, a configuration module used for configuring each function control module, so as to drive the action and the sequence executed by the controlled device, a scheduling module which comprises a reading submodule for reading the execution action and execution sequence of the function control module from the configuration module, and a thread maintenance submodule used for maintaining the corresponding threads for each function control module, at least a function control module which comprises a sequence execution submodule used for driving the controlled device to operate according to the execution action and the execution sequence in the corresponding thread. The invention had the advantages of facilitating the debugging and the maintenance of the production line device and simplifying the control operation on the basis of reducing the cost, and increasing the operation efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of equipment process control, in particular to a control device for production line equipment and a production line equipment control system using the control device. Background technique [0002] Production line equipment is an indispensable hardware equipment to complete the production, manufacturing or process of various products in modern life. In order to reduce costs and improve efficiency as much as possible, the production line equipment is equipped with a corresponding control system to control the operation of the production line equipment. [0003] refer to figure 1 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a production line equipment control system commonly used in the prior art. This control system includes: an industrial computer 11 and a PLC controller 12 . It is well known that an industrial personal computer (Industrial Personal Computer, IPC) is a kind of reinforced enhanced personal computer, whic...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this case, the entire production line equipment will be in a manual state, the debugging operation of technicians is complicated, the efficiency is relatively low, and there is also the possibility of misoperation

Moreover, since PLC controllers are generally implemented by hardware, it will also lead to increased hardware construction costs and maintenance costs.
