[0050] Specifically, the operation mode switching logic includes: if the data communication interface receives a manual operation instruction, the PLC control logic is switched to the manual operation mode; if a manual operation completion signal is detected or an automatic control recovery instruction is received, the PLC control logic is switched to the automatic control mode.

[0051] Preferably, this step realizes highly integrated and intelligent switch operation control by setting three independent but interrelated control units of energy storage, closing and opening in the PLC program. This design not only improves the reliability and safety of the system, but also enhances the flexibility of operation. In particular, by setting the energy storage completion judgment conditions, closing interlocking conditions and emergency opening functions, the system can control the switch action more accurately and effectively prevent misoperation and equipment damage. At the same time, the integrated fault detection algorithm and HMI communication interface enhance the real-time monitoring capability and human-computer interaction effect of the system, enabling operators to respond to various operating conditions more quickly and accurately, thereby significantly improving the operating efficiency and safety of the switchgear.

[0052] S3.3: Configure the PLC timer to simulate the circuit breaker energy storage process and the opening and closing action sequence.

[0053] S3.4: Read the resistance value of the programmable resistor network through the PLC program, and convert the resistance value into the circuit breaker SF6 pressure state.

[0057] The first condition includes receiving a manual reset instruction, detecting that the physical position of the energy storage mechanism returns to an initial state, system power-on initialization, and automatic reset after fault recovery.

[0058] Preferably, this step accurately monitors the operating status of the energy storage motor through the PLC program, realizing real-time and accurate control of the energy storage process. The high-speed counter module is used to receive the pulse signal, and the corresponding relationship between the number of pulses and the energy storage progress is established, so that the system can dynamically and accurately calculate the energy storage progress. This method not only improves the accuracy of energy storage control, but also enhances the reliability of the system. In particular, the abnormal detection logic and energy storage status reset module can timely detect and handle abnormal situations in the energy storage process, effectively preventing equipment damage.

[0059] S3.6: Allocate data registers of key state parameters of the circuit breaker in the PLC, wherein the data registers are used to store the key state parameters of the circuit breaker.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, provides a virtual training method for secondary circuits of high-voltage circuit breakers based on PLC and HMI. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.

[0076] First, the system function test was carried out. The PLC control program and HMI monitoring interface started normally, and the virtual component status was displayed correctly. The tester conducted basic operation tests through the HMI interface, including energy storage, closing and opening. After the energy storage operation was triggered, the PLC high-speed counter module received the pulse signal generated by the simulated energy storage motor. When the cumulative number of pulses reached 1000, the energy storage progress was displayed as 100%, which took 15 seconds. When the closing operation was executed, the PLC detected that the energy storage completion signal and the locking conditions were met, the closing coil state variable was set, and the corresponding graphic component on the HMI changed from gray to green, indicating that the closing was successful. The opening operation response time is 50 milliseconds, which meets the actual performance requirements of the high-voltage circuit breaker.

[0077] Next, a fault simulation test was conducted. The "energy storage fault" type was selected through the HMI fault injection module, and the fault parameters were set to "energy storage motor overload" with a duration of 10 minutes. After the fault was activated, the fault simulation subroutine in the PLC program modified the state variables of the energy storage motor, causing it to stop after running for 3 seconds. The energy storage progress on the HMI monitoring screen remained at 20%, and the "energy storage fault" alarm was triggered at the same time. The alarm information was displayed in the alarm bar at the top of the screen.

[0078] In the fault diagnosis training, a maintenance personnel with 2 years of work experience was simulated to handle the fault. The maintenance personnel first checked the fault phenomenon through the HMI interface, and then checked the control power supply, energy storage motor and energy storage mechanism in turn according to the prompts of the fault diagnosis wizard interface. When checking the energy storage motor, it was found that the motor current value was abnormally high, reaching 1.5 times the rated current. According to the advice of the expert knowledge base, the maintenance personnel simulated the replacement of the energy storage motor, and the fault was resolved. The entire fault diagnosis and handling process took 8 minutes, which was lower than the preset 10-minute standard.

[0079] In order to evaluate the training effect of the system, a training class consisting of 10 new maintenance personnel was organized. Each trainee conducted 5 rounds of fault handling exercises on the virtual training system in turn. In each round of exercises, the fault injection randomization unit selected different types of faults from the fault scenario library for injection. Statistical results show that the average fault handling time of the trainees in the first round of exercises was 15 minutes. By the fifth round of exercises, the average handling time was shortened to 6 minutes, and the fault diagnosis accuracy rate increased from 85% to 93%.

[0080] In the advanced training stage, the fault superposition simulation unit was enabled, and two faults, "low SF6 pressure" and "open closing coil", were injected at the same time. System records showed that only two trainees were able to correctly diagnose the double faults and take appropriate measures within the specified time. This result shows that trainees need further training and practice to handle complex fault scenarios.

[0081] After the training, the system generated a detailed training evaluation report. The report showed that all trainees' fault handling capabilities had improved significantly, with the average score increasing from 78 to 92. Among them, for the handling of common single faults, the trainees' average reaction time was shortened by 60% and the operation accuracy was improved by 25%. However, when dealing with multiple faults and some rare fault types, the trainees' performance still had room for improvement.

[0082] Preferably, the comparison indicators of the present invention and the traditional method are shown in Table 1.

[0084] Comparison indicators The present invention Traditional methods Training cycle 7 days 14 days Fault diagnosis accuracy (%) 93% 85% Average response time 60% shorter Benchmarks Operation accuracy 25% improvement Benchmarks Average score 92 85

[0085] It can be seen from Table 1 that the method of the present invention significantly improves the trainees' fault diagnosis accuracy, reaction speed, operation accuracy and overall performance while shortening the training period.
