Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of machine controllers, and in particular to an automated machine controller. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of industrial automation, machine controllers are increasingly used in industrial production. Although existing machine controllers can achieve basic control functions, they still need to be improved in terms of intelligence, adaptability, and ease of operation.

[0003] The invention patent with publication number CN112416119A discloses a contactless machine control device, including a control panel and a controller. The controller includes a control unit and multiple dispersed proximity sensors. The sensing ranges of the proximity sensors do not overlap with each other. The proximity sensors can sense objects entering their sensing ranges and generate input signals. The input conversion processor of the control unit receives and analyzes the input signals in real time, and then selects the expected input signals and generates output signals for controlling the controlled device to perform operations.

[0004] The controller uses traditional control algorithms and lacks intelligent adjustment capabilities. It can only send the operator's instructions to the controlled equipment through the controller, but the status of the equipment cannot be reflected on the controller. When the operator controls the equipment through the controller, he not only needs to operate the controller, but also observe the status of the equipment in real time, which is inconvenient.
