Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of design and production of controllers in automation equipment, in particular to a system and method for wireless real-time analysis and debugging of controller parameters. Background technique [0002] Automation equipment is currently widely used in consumer electronics, manufacturing industry, robot industry and other fields. In the production process of automation equipment and products, after the structural design of the controller is completed, the parameters of the controller need to be repeatedly analyzed and debugged according to the actual working conditions of the controller to achieve the expected effect. The accuracy, intelligence and efficiency of its analysis and debugging work have a great impact on the quality of equipment and products and development efficiency. [0003] At present, the method of parameter analysis and debugging in controller design is usually to observe and analyze the current con...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. The debugging cables are redundant, which interferes with the working environment of the equipment. There are differences between the debugging working environment and the normal working environment of the equipment. The adjusted parameters are not the optimal parameters in the normal working environment, and even the adjusted parameters are in the It cannot be used under normal working conditions, which affects the quality of the adjusted parameters

Generally, automation devices are in dynamic motion. For example, in the process of debugging the controller of a quadrotor aircraft, the way of debugging through wired connections is very cumbersome, and the existence of cables will affect the movement of the equipment, resulting in the working environment during debugging. The difference between the normal working environment and the quality of the adjusted parameters

[0006] 2. It is impossible to observe the internal variables of the controller in real time or the observation method is not intuitive, which leads to the blind adjustment process and the quality of the adjusted parameters is not high

In the control system using a low-end microprocessor, since there is no matching simulator, it is impossible to observe the internal variables of the controller in real time

In a control system using a mid-to-high-end microprocessor, although the simulator can cooperate with Watch in the integrated development environment to observe the changes in the internal variables of the controller, the data in the Watch is a numerical data type and cannot be displayed in an intuitive waveform. The changes in the internal variables of the controller are not conducive to the staff's control and analysis of the changes in the internal variables of the controller when the controller is running, resulting in low quality of the adjusted parameters

[0007] 3. The steps to modify the parameters are cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and at the same time reduce the service life of the target machine chip

After the target machine program is downloaded, the parameters of the controller can no longer be modified. Every time the parameters need to be updated, the program needs to be modified-compile-download steps. The steps are cumbersome. When the program scale of the entire automation equipment is large, Compiling and downloading each program will take a lot of time, time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and consume chip erasing times, reducing the service life of the chip

[0008] 4. The controller parameter analysis and debugging system is not universal, it is only a parameter analysis and debugging system dedicated to a specific controller, and it is not universal
