Embodiment 1

[0045] Embodiment 1: a simulation test system of the control program of the cigarette sorting system, comprising:

[0046] The simulation environment module is used to establish the simulation three-dimensional model of the sorting system equipment, and use the simulation program to write the operation mode of the sorting system equipment: vertical sorting machine, horizontal sorting machine, channel sorting machine, belt conveyor machine, cache conveyor, etc., and import the simulation environment for optimization and rendering, and develop the corresponding equipment 3D model unit for each equipment. The operation methods include: conveying, lifting, dialing, pushing, etc., and leave room for connection with the PLC controller The control output interface; and arrange the simulation detection devices, including: photoelectric switch, proximity switch, limit switch, encoder, etc. and leave the control program input interface connected to the PLC controller;

[0047]The order ...

Embodiment 2

[0050] Such as figure 1 Shown is the simulation test method of the control program of the cigarette sorting system. First, the control program design can be started while the simulation environment is being built. After the design is completed, the control program is downloaded to the PLC; then the simulation environment and the order simulation tool are run. At this time, the PLC communicates with the simulation environment through the Ethernet for input and output chains. ; If the control program fails the test, it needs to be modified and re-tested until it passes. The simulation test device of the present invention comprises a simulation environment and an order simulation tool, which runs in a PC environment, and the object of the test is a control program, which runs in a PLC programmable logic controller. The relationship between the two is as follows: figure 2 shown. Specific steps are as follows:

[0051] Step 1: Prepare 3D model

[0052] Step 1-1: Use Demo3D to ...

Embodiment 3

[0070] The sorting system equipment configuration of this test is as follows: image 3 As shown, it includes: 1 is the horizontal sorter, 2 is the channel sorter, 3 is the belt conveyor, 4 is the coding conveyor, 5 is the packing equipment, and 6 is the cigarette order. The actual function of the sorting system is to put cigarettes of different brands into the 1st horizontal sorter and 2nd channel sorter, dial them to the 3rd belt conveyor according to the order order, and transport the sticks to the 4th coding conveyor The cigarettes are coded, and finally enter the 5-packing equipment to pack the sorted cigarettes.

[0071] The requirements of the sorting system for the control program are: the posture of the dialed cigarettes is stable, the brand and quantity are consistent with the order, and on this basis, the sorting speed should be improved as much as possible. The speed of cigarette sorting is proportional to the dialing speed of the horizontal sorter and channel sort...

Abstract

The invention discloses a simulation test system and method for a control program of a cigarette sorting system. The method comprises the steps of carrying out the design of the control program whilebuilding a simulation environment, and downloading the control program into a PLC after the design is completed, enabling the PLC to perform input and output linkage communication with the simulationenvironment through the Ethernet, and if the control program does not pass the test, modifying and testing the control program again until passing the test. According to the method, three-dimensionalmodel compiling, model program compiling and testing are integrated into one platform, so that the learning cost caused by switching among multiple pieces of three-dimensional software is reduced, andthe test time is saved; the cigarette model is used as a load for simulation, the motion condition that mechanical equipment is controlled by a control program can be observed, and meanwhile, the influence of the motion of the mechanical equipment on the load can be visually and vividly observed, so that the correctness and rationality of the control program are judged; an order simulation tool is used for automatic test, a large amount of labor cost is reduced, and the test efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer simulation, in particular to a simulation test method for a control program of a cigarette sorting system in a tobacco commercial distribution center. Background technique [0002] The cigarette sorting system is one of the main automation systems in the tobacco distribution center, which is used to automatically sort the whole pack and different brands of cigarettes into the orders required by customers. The main equipment includes vertical sorter, horizontal sorter, channel sorter, counting sorter and related auxiliary equipment. [0003] First of all, in the on-site debugging process of the cigarette sorting system, the debugging process of the untested PLC control program is very cumbersome. To eliminate errors, it is necessary to consider various reasons such as hardware, wiring, program logic, etc., and is limited by objective conditions. The whole process coverage test cannot be carried out in the ...
