Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of plasma system communications, and in particular relates to a communication control method, a terminal and a storage medium for a plasma system. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial manufacturing, plasma systems, with their unique processing characteristics, have become an indispensable component of basic processing equipment. Traditional plasma systems typically rely on hard-wired discrete signals to connect to the control system to control plasma system startup and receive critical signals such as arc ignition and faults. In this model, operators must manually change processing modes and data, and use specialized instruments to measure data and monitor component operating conditions.

[0003] While physical connections can still meet basic needs in production equipment with low levels of automation, their inherent limitations are becoming increasingly apparent. First, the limited flexibility of physical connections limits the flexible adjustment and rapid response capabilities of production equipment. Second, this connection method cannot achieve remote control, making it impossible for operators to remotely monitor the system's operating status or change process data and modes, thereby affecting production efficiency and quality. Furthermore, physical connections cannot collect production data and status in real time, making them difficult to meet the requirements of modern fully automated and intelligent production lines.

[0004] As the manufacturing industry advances to higher levels, the demand for automation and intelligent production equipment is increasing. Consequently, the traditional physical connection-based communication method between plasma systems and control systems has gradually become a bottleneck hindering the development of cutting equipment. To overcome this technical challenge, a new communication method is needed to achieve remote communication and intelligent control between plasma systems and control systems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a communication control method, terminal and storage medium for a plasma system to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a communication control method for a plasma system, for achieving a communication connection between the plasma system and a logic control system, comprising:

[0007] Connect the plasma system interface and the matching communication module interface through the cross-connection of network cables, and perform hardware configuration of the communication module and the configured logic control system;

[0008] Assign interface parameters to the communication module;

[0009] Establishing data transmission function block;

[0010] Create a command message containing read and write data instructions;

[0011] Intercept the production task data in the production task order sent by the remote MES, convert it into a string, convert the production task data and the instruction characters and spaces contained in the instruction message into ASCII code, and calculate the check code based on the data converted into ASCII code;

[0012] Recombine the command message, production task data and check code into a new message;

[0013] Creating a new string structure containing plasma data and a check code in a new message format, and inputting the generated new string structure into the transmission data function block, which transmits the write data input into the transmission data function module in the new message format through the communication module;

[0014] Establish a string structure for receiving read data, and send the collected data containing production task data output by the data transmission function module in the plasma system to the string structure for receiving read data in the format of a new message;

[0015] Parse the data in the received read data string structure, calculate the position and number of bits of the production task data, intercept the required production task data and convert it into an integer, and send it to the logic control system for processing;

[0016] Establish a control program for cyclically reading and writing multiple data of the plasma system, send control signals and process data to the plasma system in real time, and collect the required production task data.

[0017] A further improvement of this technical solution is that the specific method of hardware configuration of the communication module and the configured logic control system is: the communication interface of the PLC in the logic control system and the CM ptp RS422 / 485 interface in the communication module are configured together through PORTAL software.

[0018] A further improvement of this technical solution is to allocate interface parameters to the communication module, specifically:

[0019] The communication protocol uses a free port with a transmission rate of 19200 Kbps, no parity check, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no data flow control.

[0020] A further improvement of the present technical solution is to create a new string structure containing plasma data and a check code in a new message format, and the created new string structure is: a starting character occupying 1 data bit, an instruction character occupying 3 data bits is set after the starting character, data characters related to the plasma system are set after the instruction character, the data characters occupy 4 data bits, a check code starting character occupying 1 data bit is set after the data characters, a space occupying 1 data bit is set between the check code starting character and the data characters, a check code character occupying two data bits is set after the check code starting character, and an end character occupying 1 data bit is set after the check code character.

[0021] A further improvement of this technical solution is that the specific method for calculating the check code based on the ASCII code containing the production task number is:

[0022] Convert each bit of data of the production task data and the instruction characters and spaces contained in the instruction message into the corresponding ASCII value;

[0023] Sum all converted ASCII values;

[0024] Take the last two digits of the required sum as the new verification code.

[0025] A further improvement of this technical solution is that the specific method of recombining the instruction message, production task data and verification code into a new message is as follows: each different production task and each different production task data request instruction requires a separate character string, and the different instructions, data and the generated new verification code are transmitted and integrated into a message string for recombining.

[0026] Further improvements to this technical solution include creating a string structure db_send11 for writing plasma data or requesting data, which includes 15 bytes of db_send11

[21] ......db_send11

[36] , transferring the start character and request instruction to the 4 bytes of db_send11

[23] ......db_send11

[26] , converting the data integer send1_idnmb sent in the remote MES production order task into a string and sending it to the 4 bytes of db_send11

[27] ......db_send11

[30] , converting the calculated new check code send1_checode into a string and transferring it to the 2 bytes of db_send11

[33] and db_send11

[34] . In this way, the string for writing plasma data or requesting data is created, written to the BUFFER interface in the data transmission function block, and sent to the plasma system for data sending or requesting.

[0027] Further improvements to this technical solution include creating a string structure db_come1 for reading plasma data, which includes 20 bytes db_come1[0]......db_come1

[19] and writes it to the BUFFER interface of the data transmission function block to receive the read plasma system data. Before reading, an instruction to request data is first sent, and the requested data is read into the string structure db_come1, and n bytes of data starting from db_come1[6] are intercepted, and the n characters are converted into a string, and the string is converted into an integer. The logic control system diagnoses faults and monitors status based on the obtained data.

[0028] In a second aspect, a terminal is provided, including:

[0029] processor, memory, wherein

[0030] The memory is used to store computer programs,

[0031] The processor is used to call and run the computer program from the memory, so that the terminal executes the above-mentioned terminal method.

[0032] According to a third aspect, a computer storage medium is provided, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores instructions, which, when executed on a computer, enable the computer to execute the methods described in the above aspects.

[0033] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0034] First, by cross-connecting network cables, this invention achieves efficient connectivity between the plasma system and the communication module. This, combined with the hardware configuration of the logic control system, significantly improves system integration and stability. Compared to traditional physical connections, this connection method offers greater flexibility and scalability, facilitating flexible adjustments and rapid response times for production equipment.

[0035] Secondly, by assigning interface parameters to the communication module, the present invention establishes an efficient data transmission function block, enabling real-time and accurate transmission of various plasma system data. This not only improves data transmission efficiency but also ensures data accuracy and integrity, providing reliable data support for remote monitoring and control systems.

[0036] Furthermore, by intercepting the production task data and checksums sent or requested by the remote MES in the message, converting the production task data into ASCII code for calculation and reassembling the message, the present invention achieves accurate processing of production task data. This process not only ensures the correct interpretation of the data but also enhances data security, effectively preventing errors and interference during data transmission.

[0037] Finally, this invention achieves real-time monitoring and remote control of the plasma system by establishing a control program that cyclically reads and writes multiple plasma data. This function allows operators to monitor the operating status of the plasma system at all times and adjust process data and modes in a timely manner, significantly improving production efficiency and quality. Furthermore, the real-time production data collected provides powerful data support for production management and decision-making.

[0038] In summary, the communication control method of the present invention not only overcomes the shortcomings of traditional physical connection methods that cannot achieve remote control and real-time data acquisition, but also significantly improves the automation and intelligence level of the plasma system through efficient data transmission and processing mechanisms, injecting new vitality into the development of modern industrial manufacturing.

[0039] In addition, the present invention has a reliable design principle, a simple structure and a very broad application prospect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The terms used in this specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0045] The key terms appearing in the present invention are explained below.

[0046] MES, short for Manufacturing Execution System, is a production information management system for the execution layer of a manufacturing enterprise's workshops. It provides enterprises with management modules encompassing manufacturing data management, production planning and scheduling, production scheduling, inventory management, quality management, human resources management, work center / equipment management, tool and fixture management, procurement management, cost management, project dashboard management, production process control, underlying data integration and analysis, and upper-level data integration and decomposition, creating a solid, reliable, comprehensive, and feasible manufacturing collaborative management platform.

[0047] The communication control method of the plasma system provided in the embodiment of the present invention is executed by a computer device to realize the communication connection between the plasma system and the remote MES. Figure 1 This is a schematic flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to different requirements, the order of the steps in the flow chart can be changed, and some steps can be omitted.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for realizing the communication connection between the plasma system and the remote MES includes:

[0049] Step 100, connecting the interface of the plasma system and the interface of the matching communication module through a cross-connection method of a network cable, and performing hardware configuration of the communication module and the configured logic control system;

[0050] Step 110, assigning interface parameters to the communication module;

[0051] Step 120, establishing a data transmission function block;

[0052] Step 130, creating a command message including a read and write data instruction;

[0053] Step 140: intercept the production task data in the production task order sent by the remote MES, convert it into a string, convert the production task data and the instruction characters and spaces contained in the instruction message into ASCII codes, and calculate a check code based on the data converted into ASCII codes;

[0054] Step 150, recombining the command message, production task data and check code into a new message;

[0055] Step 160: Create a new string structure containing plasma data and a checksum in a new message format, and input the generated new string structure into the transmission data function block. The transmission data function module transmits the write data input into the transmission data function module in the new message format through the communication module.

[0056] Step 170 , establishing a character string structure for receiving read data, and sending the collected data including the production task data output by the data transmission function module in the plasma system to the character string structure for receiving read data in a new message format;

[0057] Step 180: Parse the data in the received read data string structure, calculate the position and number of bits of the production task data, intercept the required production task data and convert it into an integer, and send it to the logic control system for processing;

[0058] Step 190 , establishing a control program for cyclically reading and writing multiple data of the plasma system, sending control signals and process data to the plasma system in real time, and collecting required production task data.

[0059] Among them, the logical control system can receive the production order sent by the remote MES, and process the production task data intercepted in step 140 and send it to the plasma system through the transmission data function module and the communication module in sequence. The data transmitted here is write data; from step 170, the logical control system reads data for processing.

[0060] The specific method for hardware configuration of the communication module and the configured logic control system is as follows: the communication interface of the PLC in the logic control system and the CM ptp RS422 / 485 interface in the communication module are configured together through PORTAL software.

[0061] Assign interface parameters to the communication module, specifically: the communication protocol uses free port, the transmission rate is 19200Kbps, there is no parity check, the data bits are 8 bits, the stop bit occupies 1 bit, and there is no data flow control.

[0062] In addition, a new string structure containing plasma data and a check code is created in a new message format. The created new string structure is: a starting character that occupies 1 data bit, an instruction character that occupies 3 data bits is set after the starting character, data characters related to the plasma system are set after the instruction character, the data characters occupy 4 data bits, a check code starting character that occupies 1 data bit is set after the data characters, a space that occupies 1 data bit is set between the check code starting character and the data characters, a check code character that occupies two data bits is set after the check code starting character, and an end character that occupies 1 data bit is set after the check code character.

[0063] In addition, the specific method for calculating the check code based on the ASCII code containing the production task number is:

[0064] S141, converting each bit of the production task data and the instruction characters and spaces contained in the instruction message into corresponding ASCII values;

[0065] S142, summing all converted ASCII values;

[0066] S143. Take the last two digits of the desired sum as a new verification code.

[0067] Among them, the specific method of recombining the instruction message, production task data and verification code into a new message is: each different production task, each different production task data request instruction requires a separate character string, and the different instructions, data and generated new verification code are transmitted and integrated into a message string for recombining.

[0068] Specifically, create a string structure db_send11 for writing plasma data or requesting data, which includes 15 bytes of db_send11

[21] ......db_send11

[36] , transfer the start character and request instruction to 4 bytes of db_send11

[23] ......db_send11

[26] , convert the data integer send1_idnmb sent in the remote MES production order task into a string and send it to 4 bytes of db_send11

[27] ......db_send11

[30] , convert the calculated new check code send1_checode into a string and transfer it to 2 bytes of db_send11

[33] and db_send11

[34] , and thus the string for writing plasma data or requesting data is created, written to the BUFFER interface in the data transmission function block, and sent to the plasma system for data sending or requesting.

[0069] Similarly, create a string structure db_come1 for reading plasma data, which contains 20 bytes db_come1[0]......db_come1

[19] and write it to the BUFFER interface of the data transmission function block to receive the read plasma system data. Before reading, send a command to request data first. The requested data is read into the string structure db_come1, intercept the n bytes of data starting from db_come1[6], convert the n characters into a string, and convert the string into an integer. The logic control system diagnoses faults and monitors status based on the obtained data.
