[0064] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0065] The production line control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is applied to the scenario where the production line equipment software platform self-repairs to improve production efficiency, reduce equipment maintenance costs, and achieve less-manpower production.

[0066] During the production operation of the factory, the key point of focus is whether the production efficiency is high. In the context of industrial production, there is a concept called Unit Per Hour (UPH), which is generally used to statistically analyze the production efficiency of production lines in manufacturing and processing industries. Thus, it can be seen that industrial production attaches great importance to the production efficiency of production lines.

[0067] In the related art, various problems will occur during the production process of the production line, resulting in the inability to improve production efficiency. For example, due to the outdated technology of the production line, its reliability and stability cannot be guaranteed. When a failure occurs in the equipment upstream of the production line, the production operations downstream of the production line and even the operations of the entire production line will stop, waiting for the factory technicians to troubleshoot the problem. During the troubleshooting period, the entire production line cannot carry out production operations. Because the related technology cannot guarantee the reliability and stability of a single piece of equipment, a large amount of R & D, testing and maintenance manpower is required, which greatly affects the production efficiency.

[0068] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present disclosure only uses the failure of the production line equipment to affect the production efficiency for illustrative purposes, but the disadvantages of the related technology are not limited to this. It can also be that code needs to be developed and accessed for each piece of equipment on the production line. For example, the underlying layer of the production line equipment does not have digital configuration and acquisition interfaces, and cannot be connected to the cloud digital system or digital intelligence service.

[0069] In view of this, a production line control method provided by the present disclosure can, when an abnormal failure occurs in the production equipment on the production line, enable the management device to obtain the fault information of the production equipment and send it to the main control device of the production line. The main control device of the production line sends a repair instruction to the management device, and after receiving the repair instruction, the management device repairs the faulty production equipment, thereby reducing the time for the production line to resume normal operation and improving the production efficiency of the production line.

[0070] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a production line control method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps.

[0071] In step S11, obtain the fault information of the production equipment sent by the management device.

[0072] In step S12, based on the obtained fault information, send a repair instruction to the management device.

[0073] Wherein, the repair instruction is used to instruct the management device to repair the production equipment.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after a failure occurs in the production equipment, the management device can detect which production equipment has failed and send the corresponding fault information to the main control device of the production line. After obtaining the fault information sent by the management device, the main control device of the production line sends a repair instruction to the management device, and the management device repairs the faulty production equipment based on the repair instruction. It can be understood that the main control device of the production line is located at the head position of each production line and includes a central control large screen, which displays the information of the entire production line.

[0075] In related technical embodiments, there are many ways to improve the production efficiency of a production line. For example, optimizing the integrated scheduling of production line tasks, rearranging the order delivery dates, and controlling the material ratio of the production line can all improve the production efficiency of the production line. However, the technical solutions of related technologies focus on the upper layer of the production line, that is, improving and adjusting the entire production line as a whole. The present disclosure focuses on the lower layer of the production line, that is, repairing each faulty equipment on the production line and the software programs inside the faulty equipment, reducing the time required for manual repair, and improving the production efficiency.

[0076] The present disclosure mentions that a management device can send production equipment fault information to the main control device of the production line. The following is an explanation of a method for obtaining the production equipment fault information sent by the management device.

[0077] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of a method for obtaining production equipment fault information sent by a management device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, it includes the following steps.

[0078] In step S21, obtain the production equipment fault information sent by the management device.

[0079] In step S22A, in response to obtaining the first fault information sent by the in-line resident device, display the first fault information on the display interface of the main control device of the production line.

[0080] Among them, the first fault information characterizes that the first in-line device has an offline fault.

[0081] In step S22B, in response to obtaining the second fault information sent by the second in-line device, display the second fault information on the display interface of the main control device of the production line.

[0082] Among them, the second fault information characterizes that the single-equipment control device has an offline fault or no response fault; the first in-line device is a faulty in-line device, and the second in-line device is a normal in-line device.

[0083] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the production equipment includes a single-equipment control device and a line control device, and the management equipment includes a line control resident device and a line control device. In the present disclosure, for the convenience of description, the line control device may also be referred to as line control. Among them, a single equipment is an equipment responsible for a process production task, and a line control device is an equipment responsible for the scheduling of a production line. On the software platform inside the single equipment, there is a single-equipment control device. Among them, the single-equipment control device is a device inside the single equipment that controls the actions of the single equipment, and is used to control the actions of the single equipment to achieve production actions. The line control resident device is a device for repairing the line control device, and is used to update the software version of the line control to a historical version. When the single-equipment control device fails, the line control can obtain the fault information of the single-equipment control device and send it to the main control device of the production line. When the line control fails, this line control is also called a faulty line control device, and the line control resident device can obtain the fault information of the line control and send it to the main control device of the production line. Similarly, a line control device that is operating normally without a fault is called a normal line control device.

[0084] It can be understood that as parts of the production line, both the line control and the single equipment may fail. The present disclosure uses a normal line control to detect an abnormal single equipment and repair it, or a normal single equipment and a line control resident device to detect an abnormal line control and repair it, so that the production line can achieve intelligent abnormal detection, reduce the expenditure of human and material resources, and shorten the repair time. It can be understood that when a certain line control on the production line fails, the remaining normal line controls cannot control and repair the faulty line control.

[0085] It should be noted that the failures of the line control or the single-equipment control device mentioned in the present disclosure are all software-level failures, such as software crashes and other phenomena. Hardware-level failures, such as damage to single-equipment components, are not included. When the line control or the single-equipment control device has a hardware-level failure, technicians still need to go to the site for hardware repair.

[0086] The following is an explanation of a method for sending a repair instruction to the management equipment based on fault information.

[0087] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a method for sending a repair instruction to the management equipment based on fault information shown in an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, and includes the following steps.

[0088] In step S31, the fault information category is detected.

[0089] In step S32A, if the fault information is the first fault information, a first repair instruction is sent to the line control resident device.

[0090] Among them, the first repair instruction is used to instruct the line control resident device to update the system operation version of the first line control device to a historical version.

[0091] In step S32B, if the fault information is the third fault information, send a second repair instruction to the second by-wire device.

[0092] Among them, the third fault information characterizes that the single-equipment control device has a non-response fault, the second repair instruction is used to instruct the second by-wire device to send a third repair instruction to the single-equipment resident device, the single-equipment resident device is used to control the single-equipment control device, and the third repair instruction is used to instruct the single-equipment resident device to update the system operation version of the single-equipment control device to the historical version.

[0093] In step S32C, if the fault information is the fourth fault information, send a second repair instruction to the second by-wire device.

[0094] Among them, the fourth fault information characterizes that the single-equipment control device has an offline fault; the third fault information and the fourth fault information are subsets of the second fault information.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the main production line control device sends a repair instruction for the corresponding fault information to the management device based on various fault information sent by the management device to repair the production equipment.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there may be more than one type of fault that the single-equipment control device may have, including offline faults and non-response faults.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, on the software platform inside the single equipment, there is a single-equipment resident device. The single-equipment resident device is a device inside the single equipment for repairing the single-equipment control, and is used to update the software version of the single-equipment control device to the historical version.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the difference between the single-equipment offline fault and the single-equipment non-response fault is that when the single-equipment offline fault occurs, the by-wire does not receive the heartbeat signal sent by the single-equipment control device on time; when the single-equipment non-response fault occurs, the by-wire can receive the heartbeat signal sent by the single-equipment control device, but cannot receive the instruction indicating the successful execution of the production operation by the single-equipment control device.

[0099] Next, another production line control method will be explained.

[0100] Figure 4 is a flowchart of a production line control method shown according to another exemplary embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, and includes the following steps.

[0101] In step S41, in response to determining that there is a faulty production equipment, generate production equipment fault information and send the production equipment fault information to the main production line control device.

[0102] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining that a production device has failed, the management device sends the generated fault information to the production line master device.

[0103] In step S42, obtain the repair instruction sent by the production line master device based on the production device fault information, and repair the production device based on the repair instruction.

[0104] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the management device obtains the repair instruction sent by the production line master device, it performs a repair operation on the production device.

[0105] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, repairing the production device through the management device avoids the process of manual repair, saves repair time, and improves production efficiency.

[0106] An explanation of a method for sending production device fault information to the production line master device will be given below.

[0107] Figure 5 is a flowchart of a method for sending production device fault information to the production line master device shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, and includes the following steps.

[0108] In step S51, in response to the line control resident device being in the startup state, regularly obtain the operation status instruction sent by the first line control device.

[0109] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the line control resident device regularly receives the heartbeat signal sent by the line control device and marks the line control as being in the normal online state.

[0110] In step S52, in response to not obtaining the operation status instruction sent by the first line control device within the first time, determine that the first line control device has an offline fault, generate the first fault information, and send the first fault information to the production line master device.

[0111] Among them, the first fault information characterizes that the first line control device has an offline fault.

[0112] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the line control resident device does not receive the heartbeat signal of the line control device within a fixed time, it marks that the line control has an offline fault and sends the line control offline fault information to the production line master device.

[0113] An explanation of a method for detecting the startup state of the line control resident device will be given below.

[0114] Figure 6 is a flowchart of a method for detecting the startup state of the line control resident device shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, and includes the following steps.

[0115] In step S61, obtain the status of the line control resident device.

[0116] In step S62, if the wired control resident device is in an unstarted state and a first instruction sent by a second wired control device is received, start the wired control resident device.

[0117] Wherein, the first instruction is used to instruct the wired control resident device to start running.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the start of the wired control resident device is controlled by the wired control device. After detecting that the wired control resident device is not started, the wired control device sends a start instruction to start the wired control resident device.

[0119] Next, a method for repairing a production device based on a repair instruction will be explained.

[0120] Figure 7 is a flowchart of a method for repairing a production device based on a repair instruction shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 7 shown, it includes the following steps.

[0121] In step S71, obtain a first repair instruction sent by the production line master control device.

[0122] Wherein, the first repair instruction is used to instruct the wired control resident device to update the system running version of the first wired control device to a historical version.

[0123] In step S72, based on the first repair instruction, update the system running version of the first wired control device to a historical version.

[0124] In step S73, send a second instruction to the first wired control device.

[0125] Wherein, the second instruction is used to instruct the first wired control device to perform a restart based on the system historical running version.

[0126] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the wired control resident device obtains the repair instruction sent by the production line master control device, it updates the software running version of the wired control device to a historical version, and sends an instruction to the wired control device to restart the wired control device.

[0127] It can be understood that software products are constantly updated and optimized, and new versions are launched. Among them, in the context of factory production, the historical version of a software product is called a stable version. In an actual production environment, the production party usually prefers to use the stable version of the software product because the stable version has been tested in the production environment for a certain period of time, avoiding major production accidents due to code crashes. The new version, although having excellent performance when it is newly launched, has not been tested in the production environment for a certain period of time and is not suitable for large-scale use in the production environment.

[0128] Next, a method for sending production device failure information to the production line master control device will be explained.

[0129] Figure 8 is a flowchart of a method for sending production equipment fault information to the main control device of a production line shown according to another exemplary embodiment, as Figure 8 shown, including the following steps:

[0130] In step S81, the operation status instruction sent by the single equipment control device is obtained regularly.

[0131] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the line control regularly obtains the heartbeat signal of the single equipment control device and marks the single equipment control device as being in a normal online state.

[0132] In step S82A, in response to obtaining the operation status instruction sent by the single equipment control device within the second time, a third instruction is sent to the single equipment control device and the fourth instruction sent by the single equipment control device is obtained. However, since the fourth instruction is not obtained within the third time, it is determined that the single equipment control device has a non-response fault, a third fault information is generated, and the third fault information is sent to the main control device of the production line.

[0133] Among them, the third instruction is used to instruct the single equipment control device to perform a production operation, the fourth instruction represents that the single equipment control device is in a normal production state, and the third fault information represents that the single equipment control device has a non-response fault.

[0134] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the line control regularly obtains the heartbeat signal of the single equipment control device, an instruction is sent to the single equipment control device to make the single equipment control device perform a production operation. However, the line control does not receive the instruction indicating successful production sent by the single equipment control device within a fixed time, marks that the single equipment control device has a non-response fault, and sends the non-response fault information of the single equipment control device to the main control device of the production line.

[0135] In step S82B, in response to not obtaining the operation status instruction sent by the single equipment control device within the second time, it is determined that the single equipment control device has an offline fault, a fourth fault information is generated, and the fourth fault information is sent to the main control device of the production line.

[0136] Among them, the fourth fault information represents that the single equipment control device has an offline fault.

[0137] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the line control does not receive the heartbeat signal sent by the single equipment control device within a fixed time, marks that the single equipment control device has an offline fault, and sends the offline fault information of the single equipment control device to the main control device of the production line.

[0138] Next, a method for repairing a production equipment based on a repair instruction will be explained.

[0139] Figure 9It is a flowchart of a method for repairing a production device based on a repair instruction shown according to another exemplary embodiment. As Figure 9 shown, it includes the following steps.

[0140] In step S91, a second repair instruction sent by the production line master control device is obtained.

[0141] Among them, the second repair instruction is used to instruct the second line control device to send a third repair instruction to the single-equipment resident device.

[0142] In step S92, based on the second repair instruction, a third repair instruction is sent to the single-equipment resident device.

[0143] Among them, the third repair instruction is used to instruct the single-equipment resident device to send a fifth instruction to the production device to update the system operation version of the single-equipment control device to a historical version.

[0144] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the line control obtains the repair instruction sent by the production line master control device, it sends a repair instruction to the single-equipment resident device, instructing the single-equipment resident device to update the software operation version of the single-equipment control device to a historical version.

[0145] Next, another production line control method will be explained.

[0146] Figure 10 It is a flowchart of a production line control method shown according to another exemplary embodiment. As Figure 10 shown, it includes the following steps.

[0147] In step S101, it is determined that the production device has a fault.

[0148] In step S102, in response to the repair instruction received by the management device, a repair operation is performed.

[0149] Among them, the repair instruction is sent by the production line master control device to the management device based on the production device fault information, and the production device fault information is generated by the management device based on the faulty production device.

[0150] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after it is determined that the production device has a fault, the production device is restarted according to the instruction of the management device and runs in the historical version.

[0151] Next, a method for performing a repair operation in response to a repair instruction received by the management device will be explained.

[0152] Figure 11 It is a flowchart of a method for performing a repair operation in response to a repair instruction received by the management device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 11 shown, it includes the following steps.

[0153] In step S111, obtain a second instruction sent by the by-wire permanent device.

[0154] Wherein, the second instruction is used to instruct the first by-wire device to perform a restart based on the system historical operation version.

[0155] In step S112, based on the second instruction, perform a restart based on the system historical operation version.

[0156] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after receiving an instruction sent by the by-wire permanent device, the by-wire performs a restart operation and runs in the historical version.

[0157] Next, a method for performing a repair operation in response to a repair instruction received by a response management device will be explained.

[0158] Figure 12 is a flowchart of a method for performing a repair operation in response to a repair instruction received by a response management device shown according to another exemplary embodiment, as Figure 12 shown, and includes the following steps.

[0159] In step S121, obtain a fifth instruction sent by the single-equipment permanent device.

[0160] Wherein, the fifth instruction is used to instruct the single-equipment control device to perform a restart based on the system historical operation version, and the fifth instruction is sent by the single-equipment permanent device in response to obtaining a third repair instruction sent by the second by-wire device, and the third repair instruction is used to instruct the single-equipment permanent device to update the system operation version of the single-equipment control device to the historical version.

[0161] In step S122, based on the fifth instruction, perform a restart based on the system historical operation version.

[0162] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after receiving an instruction sent by the single-equipment permanent device, the single-equipment control device performs a restart operation and runs in the historical version.

[0163] Next, a method for subsequent operations after restarting a production device will be explained.

[0164] Figure 13 is a flowchart of a method for subsequent operations after restarting a production device shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 13 shown, and includes the following steps.

[0165] In step S131, obtain the restart status of the production device.

[0166] In step S132, in response to the successful restart of the production device, perform a reset operation and a material clearing operation.

[0167] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the production equipment is restarted, a series of operations need to be performed, such as reset operation and material clearing operation.

[0168] The following explains a wired control offline processing strategy.

[0169] Figure 14 It is a schematic diagram of a wired control offline processing strategy shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 14 In it, after the wired control runs for the first time, it detects whether there is a wired control resident device process. If not, it starts up the wired control resident device and establishes a communication link with the single equipment control device. The wired control marks the single equipment control device as the online state, and the single equipment control device sends a heartbeat command to the wired control regularly. The wired control resident device marks the wired control as the online state, and the wired control sends a heartbeat command to the wired control resident device regularly. The wired control resident device records the timestamp of the heartbeat command and checks through a timer whether the timestamp of the wired control is received within a specified time. If not, it marks the wired control as offline once. When the cumulative offline times of the wired control exceed N times, the wired control resident device marks the wired control as the offline state. During the offline period of the wired control, the single equipment control device enters the single equipment production mode and breaks away from the wired control. If the single equipment control device was previously in the running state, the single equipment enters the offline production mode and stores the data locally. If the single equipment control device was previously in the stopped state, the single equipment maintains the current state and continues to connect to the wired control scheduling command. Subsequently, the wired control resident device updates the wired control running software version to the historical version and instructs the wired control to restart. After the wired control restarts, the single equipment control device establishes a communication link with the wired control, and the wired control marks the single equipment control device as the online state. The single equipment control device sends a command to report the current equipment state to the wired control, the wired control updates the states of each equipment at the wired control end, and the single equipment control device sends a heartbeat command to the wired control regularly again.

[0170] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a series of operations need to be performed on the communication protocol for establishing communication between the wired control resident device and the wired control, such as customization, packet encapsulation, packet decapsulation, encryption, and heartbeat detection, etc.

[0171] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the single equipment fails to establish communication with the wired control, it can enter the single equipment production mode and continue to execute the production action to ensure that the materials on the single equipment operation table can be normally processed. When the single equipment re - establishes a connection with the wired control, the single equipment can send a command to report the current equipment state to the wired control, and the wired control performs task scheduling according to the current equipment state to improve production efficiency.

[0172] The following explains a single equipment non - response strategy.

[0173] Figure 15 It is a schematic diagram of a single equipment non - response strategy shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 15In this case, the line control establishes a communication link with the single-equipment resident device. After the single-equipment resident device wakes up and starts working, it activates the single-equipment control device. Subsequently, the single-equipment control device establishes a communication connection with the line control, and the line control marks the single-equipment control device as being in an online state. The single-equipment control device periodically sends heartbeat commands to the line control, and the line control checks the timestamps of the single equipment received on time within a specified period through a timer. Subsequently, the line control sends a command to the single-equipment control device to execute a production operation, but the single-equipment control device does not send a command indicating successful execution of the production operation to the line control. Subsequently, the line control sends a command to the single-equipment resident device to reactivate the single-equipment control device. The single-equipment resident device activates the single-equipment control device in the historical stable version, and the single-equipment control device restarts. After restarting, the single-equipment control device re-establishes communication with the line control and periodically sends heartbeat commands to the line control. The line control marks the single-equipment control device as being in an online state and sends an initialization command to the single-equipment control device. The single-equipment control device receives the initialization command, performs initialization operations such as homing / resetting, and sends a command indicating successful execution of the initialization operation to the line control. After detecting that the single-equipment control device has completed the initialization action, the line control sends a material clearing command to the single-equipment control device. The single-equipment control device receives the material clearing command, executes the material clearing mode, and sends a command indicating successful execution of the material clearing mode to the line control. After detecting that the single-equipment control device has completed the material clearing action, the line control marks the single equipment as being in a state where the material clearing mode has been successfully executed and sends a running mode command to the single-equipment control device. The single-equipment control device receives the running mode command, executes the normal production mode, and sends a command indicating that it is in the normal mode of operation to the line control. After detecting that the single-equipment control device is executing the normal production mode, the line control marks the single equipment as being in an operating state.

[0174] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a series of operations need to be performed on the communication protocol for establishing communication between the single-equipment control device, the single-equipment resident device, and the line control, such as customization, packet encapsulation, packet decapsulation, encryption, and heartbeat detection.

[0175] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the single-equipment resident device, the single-equipment control device, and the line control are linked through network communication. Among them, the underlying solution can be developed using frameworks such as the Internet Communications Engine (ICE) and Tars.

[0176] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the reason for the line control to send an initialization command to the single-equipment control device is that the single-equipment control device may malfunction when performing a certain action. After the single-equipment fault is repaired, the single equipment cannot operate on the production line materials according to the original action posture and needs to return to its original position to operate on the materials.

[0177] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the reason for the line control to send a material cleaning mode instruction to the single equipment control device is as follows: The single equipment control device may malfunction when performing a certain action, and at this time, the single equipment is still grasping materials. After the repair of the single equipment failure is completed, it is necessary to clean the materials grasped during the single equipment failure to ensure that the single equipment can grasp materials normally in the next operation.

[0178] The following explains a single equipment offline processing strategy.

[0179] Figure 16 It is a schematic diagram of a single equipment offline processing strategy shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 16 In this, the line control establishes a communication link with the single equipment resident device. After the single equipment resident device wakes up and works, it pulls up the single equipment control device. Subsequently, the single equipment control device establishes a communication connection with the line control, and the line control marks the single equipment control device as the online state. The single equipment control device periodically sends a heartbeat instruction to the line control. The line control records the timestamp of the heartbeat instruction and checks through a timer whether the timestamp of the single equipment is received within a specified time. If not, it marks the single equipment as offline once. When the cumulative offline times of the single equipment control device exceed N times, the line control marks the single equipment as the offline state. Subsequently, the line control sends an instruction to the single equipment resident device to make the single equipment resident device pull up the single equipment control device again. The single equipment resident device pulls up the single equipment control device of the historical stable version, and the single equipment control device restarts. After restarting, the single equipment control device re - establishes communication with the line control and periodically sends a heartbeat instruction to the line control. The line control marks the single equipment control device as the online state and sends an initialization instruction to the single equipment control device. The single equipment control device receives the initialization instruction, performs initialization operations such as homing / resetting, and sends an instruction indicating successful execution of the initialization operation to the line control. After detecting that the single equipment control device has completed the initialization action, the line control sends a material cleaning instruction to the single equipment control device. The single equipment control device receives the material cleaning instruction, executes the material cleaning mode, and sends an instruction indicating successful execution of the material cleaning mode to the line control. After detecting that the single equipment control device has completed the material cleaning action, the line control marks the single equipment as the state where the material cleaning mode has been executed and sends an operation mode instruction to the single equipment control device. The single equipment control device receives the operation mode instruction, executes the normal production mode, and sends an instruction indicating that it is in the normal mode operation to the line control. After detecting that the single equipment control device is executing the normal production mode, the line control marks the single equipment as the running state.

[0180] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a series of operations need to be performed on the communication protocol for establishing communication between the single equipment control device, the single equipment resident device, and the line control, such as customization, packet encapsulation, packet decapsulation, encryption, and heartbeat detection, etc.

[0181] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the single-equipment resident device, the single-equipment control device, and the wire control are linked through network communication. Among them, frameworks such as the Internet Communications Engine (ICE) and Tars can be used to complete the development at the bottom layer of the solution.

[0182] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the reason for the wire control to send an initialization instruction to the single-equipment control device is that the single-equipment control device may malfunction when performing a certain action. After the repair of the single-equipment failure, the single equipment cannot operate on the production line materials according to the original action posture, and needs to return to the original position to operate on the materials.

[0183] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the reason for the wire control to send a material cleaning mode instruction to the single-equipment control device is that the single-equipment control device may malfunction when performing a certain action, and at this time the single equipment is still grasping materials. After the repair of the single-equipment failure, it is necessary to clean the materials grasped by the single equipment during the failure to ensure that the single equipment can normally grasp materials in the next operation.

[0184] Next, a method for the single-equipment resident device to pull up the single-equipment control device will be described.

[0185] Figure 17 A schematic diagram of a strategy for a single-equipment resident device to pull up a single-equipment control device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 17 In it, after the single-equipment resident device triggers the software restart mechanism, the single-equipment resident device needs to verify whether the process of the single-equipment control device is completely aborted, such as whether the single-equipment control device driver stops, etc. If the process is completely aborted, the single-equipment resident device restarts the single-equipment control device. If the process is not completely aborted, the background kills the process and then restarts the single-equipment control device. After the single-equipment control device is restarted, it is necessary to determine whether to enter the material cleaning mode, and the judgment basis is whether there is material detected by the sensors of the single-equipment control device and the production line. If there is no material on the production line or the single-equipment control device platform, the single-equipment control device performs an initialization operation to start the production operation. If an abnormality occurs during the execution of the production operation, an alarm needs to be issued for human intervention. If there is material on the production line or the single-equipment control device platform, the single-equipment control device enters the material cleaning mode. After the material cleaning mode is completed and there is no material, the single-equipment control device performs an initialization operation to start the production operation. If an abnormality occurs during the execution of the production operation, an alarm needs to be issued for human intervention; if there is still material after the material cleaning mode is completed, an alarm needs to be issued for human intervention.

[0186] It can be understood that the single equipment needs to have a complete system software inside to run. The software platform includes various processes to provide services. Next, a method for isolating the processes of the single-equipment software platform will be explained.

[0187] Figure 18 Schematic diagram of process isolation of a single-equipment software platform shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 18 In it, the single equipment includes an automated software low-code platform. Inside the automated software low-code platform, there are a state machine (dll) and a process configuration module. Inside the process configuration module, there are multiple service programs, including a vision calibration client program, a vision positioning client program, a vision detection client program, a whole machine test client program, a main board test client program, a third-party component client state machine, and a motion control state machine. Among them, the multiple service programs inside the process configuration module use the Portable Common Object Model (PCOM) to interact with the state machine. During the operation of the automated software low-code platform of the single equipment, in the server inside the factory, there is also a set of microservices running. The microservices include a vision calibration server program, a vision positioning server program, a vision detection server program, a whole machine test server program, a main board test server program, and a third-party component server program. Each server program in the microservices and each client program with the same name in the process configuration module use a communication protocol such as Remote Procedure Call (RPC) for data interaction to generate a service process. Different service processes do not interfere with each other. For example, the vision positioning service process does not affect the data interaction of the vision detection service process.

[0188] In the related technology embodiments, each work station requires multiple operation processes for automated work. For traditional industrial software, these steps require several electrical / software developers who are familiar with the entire operation process / hardware wiring / Input / Output (IO) layout, etc. of the equipment, and then write software programs to complete the control of modules such as hardware robotic arms, axes, IO, motors, cameras, light sources, etc. Finally, they are verified / tested / produced on the machine. It can be understood that in the related technology, the operation logics of each equipment are different, so more developers are needed. The present disclosure uses an automated software platform tool, and only a small number of people, such as one person with preliminary experience and an understanding of the equipment operation logic, are required to complete the development. By adding the corresponding hardware models and modules in the platform, configuring the relevant hardware parameters, and at the same time editing the operation processes of each work station of the equipment, the verification / testing / production work can be completed quickly and efficiently. And after completing the process configuration of this equipment, it can be quickly / stably reused in other equipment, enabling the equipment of the entire line and factory to be quickly produced and replicated.

[0189] It can be understood that the single-equipment software platform is composed of a complex environment combination such as control + vision + testing + third-party components. In all stages such as development, debugging, production, and operation and maintenance, there are many unstable factors (interface exceptions, running crashes, freezes, line adjustments, etc.), resulting in various failures.

[0190] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the microservices architecture is deployed on the server. When the server encounters an exception, a standby server and the automated software low-code platform in the single equipment can be enabled. Regardless of how the components operate, the platform itself will not experience an abnormal crash.

[0191] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the automated software low-code platform enables the components to have independent memory spaces, and the entire platform will not be unable to run smoothly due to an exception in one component. Without changing the PCom access method, third-party components can achieve the fastest inter-process isolation. Inter-process isolation provides favorable conditions for further sinking of the subsequent platform operation layer and further floating of the editing layer.

[0192] The following explains a method for data interaction between a server program and a client program with the same name.

[0193] Figure 19 A schematic diagram showing data interaction between a server program and a client program with the same name according to an exemplary embodiment is as follows. Figure 19 As shown, the server program sends data to the client program, and the client program receives the data sent by the server program; the client program sends data to the server program, and the client program receives the data sent by the server program.

[0194] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server program and the client program receive and send data to each other, and more than one communication protocol can be used to transfer data to ensure stable reception and transmission of data.

[0195] The following describes an overall processing strategy for single-equipment control device or wire control failures.

[0196] Figure 20 A schematic diagram showing an overall processing strategy for single-equipment / wire control offline according to an exemplary embodiment is as follows. Figure 20As shown in the figure, the production line includes multiple pieces of equipment: single equipment 1, single equipment 2, and single equipment 3. Inside the single equipment, there are in-line control resident devices, in-line control, single equipment resident devices, and single equipment control devices. Among them, the single equipment control device has multiple stable versions, and the in-line control has multiple stable versions. The in-line control performs heartbeat detection on the single equipment control device. When the single equipment software platform accidentally drops the line abnormally, the in-line control end discovers that the single equipment times out and drops the line, and re-pulls the software platform for the single equipment resident device. When the single equipment software platform frequently drops the line abnormally, that is, when the software platform is repeatedly pulled up more than the set threshold within a short period of time, for example, 10 times, a warning is triggered, an emergency plan is started, and the historical stable version 2 is pulled. When a small number of equipment finds that the in-line control drops the line accidentally, for example, the single equipment finds that the in-line control connection times out and drops the line, the in-line control is re-pulled through the in-line control resident device, or only a single device has a short circuit, that is: the in-line control port connected to this equipment has an abnormality, and other ports are operating normally, then the in-line control program needs to be restarted. When a small number of equipment finds that the in-line control drops the line frequently, for example, the single equipment finds that the in-line control times out and drops the line, the standby stable version of the in-line control is pulled through the in-line control resident device, or the in-line control version code is abnormal (the in-line control crashes multiple times within a short period of time), then the standby stable version of the in-line control is pulled through the in-line control resident device.

[0197] Based on the same concept, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a production line control device.

[0198] It can be understood that, in order to implement the above functions, the production line control device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the corresponding hardware structure and / or software module for executing each function. Combining the units and algorithm steps of the various examples disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a certain function is executed in the way of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to exceed the scope of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0199] Figure 21 It is a block diagram of a control device for discrete manufacturing shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to Figure 21 , the control device 100 for discrete manufacturing includes a receiving unit 101 and a processing unit 102.

[0200] The receiving unit 101 is used to obtain the production equipment failure information sent by the management device.
