[0042] It mainly includes the following steps:

[0043] Step S1: Build a complete production line control system for the corresponding production line of the lights-out factory;

[0044] Step S2: Statistically analyze in detail the environmental factors, the operating parameters and normal thresholds of each device for the corresponding production line of the lights-out factory;

[0045] Step S3: Select appropriate sensors for the corresponding environmental factors for real-time monitoring, and consider adding redundancy to improve stability and reliability;

[0046] Step S4: According to the characteristics and operating processes of each special machine device, add corresponding sensors for position judgment and operating status monitoring;

[0047] Step S5: Develop a management system for the production line of the lights-out factory to collect and record data information such as equipment working conditions in real time, and push early warnings, health checks and predictive maintenance;

[0048] Step S6: The management system statistically analyzes and manages the operating status of the equipment, including equipment operating status records, maintenance records, maintenance reminder, calibration reminder, confirmation of tooling replacement before production change, etc., to prevent errors and provide full-process guidance for manual operations and production;

[0049] Step S7: The management system periodically reminds of the use and maintenance of relevant measuring instruments, fire protection facilities and chemical products on the production line;

[0050] Step S8: The management system and the control system perform data fusion and interaction to comprehensively control the safe and reliable operation of the production line;

[0051] Such asFigure 1 , step S1 includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S1.1: According to the production line scale and process requirements, determine the types and quantities of software and hardware required for the control system. According to the production line scale and process requirements of a certain production line, this system uses a programmable logic controller with a fault self-diagnosis function as the remote central controller, including a material management system, an on-line non-destructive testing system, and isolators and intrinsically safe detection switches that meet explosion-proof requirements. The system applies advanced upper industrial control computer, PLC integration technology and safety technology, adopts mature field bus technology to realize the integration of multiple special machines and multiple systems, optimizes the information acquisition scheme, and realizes a distributed control system for multi-sensor information fusion;

[0053] Step S1.2: The control system adopts a master-slave distributed control mode, including an upper computer and a lower computer. The upper computer includes two industrial computers (one for monitoring the operation status of on-site equipment and one for information application services), and two database servers (one for storing and applying production process data and one for data backup and accessing external ports such as factory-level ERP). They are placed in the remote central control room. Through the upper computer, remote monitoring and parameter setting of the production line and each special machine can be realized, and various parameter information can be saved at the same time, including the operation status information of each special machine, workpiece information, operator information, etc., providing information resources for the ERP information management system;

[0054] Step S1.3: The lower computer consists of a programmable logic controller (PLC), supplemented by remote I / O slave stations, two-dimensional code reading controllers, robot controllers and corresponding special machine controllers. The system uses a PLC of the S7-1500 series of Siemens Company in Germany as the control core, which is placed in the central control room or the explosion-proof control box at the production site to realize the collaborative logic control of each on-site special machine. Each special machine uses a Siemens remote I / O slave station ET200 or S7-1200PLC as the remote control unit, which is installed near the remote special machine and communicates with the main control PLC through the Profinet bus to realize the real-time interaction of the operation information of each special machine slave station and the command information of the main control PLC;

[0055] Step S1.4: Through the Profinet bus, the interconnection of each special machine control system is realized. Through software programming, functions such as production line process control, network coordination, fault diagnosis, information processing and early warning are realized. Relatively independent control units such as logistics, assembly, detection and inkjet coding are effectively connected to realize the information exchange of each special machine and the collaborative work of each component of the system, providing a data basis for the ERP system and realizing an intrinsically safe control system.
