Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automation technology, and in particular to a method and device, electronic equipment, and storage medium for PLC control. Background Art

[0002] Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), a new type of general-purpose industrial automatic control device, are based on traditional sequential controllers and integrate computer technology, microelectronics, automatic control technology, digital technology, and communication network technology. They are a key pillar of modern industrial control. Therefore, PLCs are widely used in various industrial control fields.

[0003] For users, industrial automation requires a wide variety of actuators, each of varying types and brands. These devices often require vastly different PLC control logic. Therefore, when using PLCs to control actuators, every time a manufacturer switches to a different brand or model of actuator, the PLC program must be re-added, modified, and retested. This inevitably leads to redundant software code and wasted work during software development, integration, and subsequent maintenance. This inefficiently connects the PLC to the actuators, further increasing costs for users during software development, integration, and subsequent maintenance.

[0004] During the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure, it was found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:

[0005] Usually, the points of the PLC correspond one-to-one to the execution devices. If the controlled execution device needs to be replaced, the control logic of the PLC program needs to be added or modified for each execution device separately, resulting in redundancy of software code and waste of workload, thereby making the communication between the PLC and the execution device inefficient.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0026] The method for PLC control provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to electronic devices. In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer or a server. The electronic device can communicate with the PLC module and the execution device by connecting to the Internet, Bluetooth, WiFi, etc. For example, in combination with Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device is a server, and the server 101, the PLC module 102 and the execution device 103 all communicate with each other via the Internet. Figure 1 As shown, server 101 sends the user's selection instruction to PLC module 102. In response to the user's selection instruction, PLC module 102 determines execution device 103. Based on execution device 103, PLC module 102 determines a target channel from multiple candidate channels and triggers the point of PLC module 102 to connect to the target channel, thereby connecting the PLC to the target execution device. In other embodiments, the electronic device is a PLC module.

[0027] Combine Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for PLC control, wherein the PLC includes multiple channels to be selected, and the PLC is controlled to select one channel from the multiple channels to be selected to connect to an execution device. The method includes:

[0028] Step S201: The electronic device determines a target execution device in response to a user's selection instruction.

[0029] In step S202 , the electronic device determines a first target channel from a plurality of candidate channels according to a target execution device.

[0030] In step S203, the electronic device triggers the output point of the PLC to be connected to the first target channel, so that the PLC is connected to the target execution device.

[0031] The PLC control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure determines the target execution device in response to a user's selection instruction, determines the target channel corresponding to the target execution device from multiple selectable channels that can communicate with the execution device, and then triggers the PLC output point to connect to the target channel, thereby connecting the PLC output point to the target execution device. This allows the control of different execution devices through a single PLC output point. This eliminates the need to re-modify the PLC program, enabling multiple uses of the PLC and improving the efficiency of communication between the PLC and the execution devices.

[0032] Optionally, the selection instruction is an instruction for the user to select an execution device, and determining the target execution device in response to the user's selection instruction includes: the electronic device determines the execution device selected by the user as the target execution device in response to the user's selection instruction.

[0033] Optionally, the executing device is a frequency converter. The user can use the touchscreen of the electronic device to select a frequency converter as the target frequency converter from a selection of multiple brands and models. Each frequency converter corresponds to a signal output channel, and each signal output channel corresponds to a selectable channel of the PLC. After determining that the frequency converter selected by the user is the target frequency converter, the PLC controls the selection of one of the multiple selectable channels and connects it to the target frequency converter. Displaying and selecting frequency converters on the touchscreen allows the user to more intuitively understand and select the model and brand of the frequency converter.

[0034] Optionally, the electronic device determining the first target channel from a plurality of channels to be selected based on the target execution device includes: the electronic device determining a signal transmission channel of the target execution device based on the target execution device. The electronic device determining the first target channel from the plurality of channels to be selected based on the signal transmission channel of the target execution device.

[0035] Optionally, the electronic device determines a first target channel from a plurality of candidate channels based on the signal transmission channel of the target execution device, including: the electronic device performs a search operation in a preset second data table using the signal transmission channel of the target execution device to find a target candidate channel corresponding to the signal transmission channel of the target execution device. The second data table stores a correspondence between the signal transmission channels of execution devices and the target candidate channels. The electronic device determines the target candidate channel from the candidate channels as the first target channel.

[0036] By using the correspondence between the signal transmission channel of the execution device and the target candidate channel to determine the first target channel, the target channel can be quickly obtained from multiple candidate channels, which is conducive to improving the matching efficiency between the execution device and the candidate channels.

[0037] In one embodiment, the execution device is a frequency converter, and the brands of the selected frequency converters include Brand A, Brand B, and Brand C. If the user selects Brand A as the frequency converter brand through the touch screen, the PLC identifies Brand A as the target execution device and, based on the signal transmission channel corresponding to Brand A, determines a first target channel from multiple candidate channels. Finally, the PLC output is connected to the first target channel, establishing communication between the PLC and Brand A.

[0038] Combine Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for PLC control, for example, the selection instruction is an instruction for the user to select an execution device. The method includes:

[0039] Step S301 : In response to a user's selection instruction, the electronic device determines the execution device selected by the user as a target execution device.

[0040] Step S302: The electronic device determines a signal transmission channel of the target execution device according to the target execution device.

[0041] Step S303: The electronic device determines a first target channel from a plurality of candidate channels according to the signal transmission channel of the target execution device.

[0042] In step S304, the electronic device triggers the output point of the PLC to be connected to the first target channel, so that the PLC is connected to the target execution device.

[0043] The PLC control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure determines the target execution device in response to a user's selection instruction, determines a first target channel corresponding to the target execution device from multiple selectable channels that can communicate with the execution device, and triggers a PLC output point to connect to the first target channel, thereby connecting the PLC output point to the target execution device. This allows the control of different execution devices through a single PLC output point. This eliminates the need to re-modify the PLC program, enabling multiple uses of the PLC, improving the efficiency of the communication between the PLC and the execution device, and further reducing the cost of using the PLC.

[0044] Optionally, the selection instruction is an instruction for a user to select a data collection device. The electronic device, in response to the user's selection instruction, determines the target execution device, including: the electronic device, in response to the user's selection instruction, determines the data collection device selected by the user as the target data collection device. The electronic device determines the target execution device based on the target data collection device.

[0045] Optionally, the data acquisition device is a temperature sensor, and the execution device is a frequency converter. A user can use the touch screen of the electronic device to select a temperature sensor from a plurality of temperature sensors of different brands and models as a target data collection device. Displaying and selecting temperature sensors on the touch screen allows the user to more intuitively understand and select the model and brand of the temperature sensor.

[0046] Optionally, the electronic device determines the target execution device based on the target data acquisition device, including: the electronic device uses the target data acquisition device to perform a search operation in a preset first data table to find an alternative execution device corresponding to the target data acquisition device. The first data table stores a correspondence between data acquisition devices and alternative execution devices. The electronic device determines the found alternative execution device as the target execution device.

[0047] By using the correspondence between the data acquisition device and the alternative execution device to determine the target execution device, the target execution device can be obtained more quickly from multiple execution devices, thereby reducing the matching time between devices and improving matching efficiency.

[0048] In one embodiment, the execution device is a frequency converter, and the data acquisition device is a temperature sensor. The brands of the frequency converters to be selected include Brand A, Brand B, and Brand C, and the models of the temperature sensors to be selected include Model A and Model B. If the model of the temperature sensor to be selected selected by the user through the touch screen is Model A, the Model A temperature sensor is determined as the target data collection device, and the frequency converter of the corresponding brand is automatically determined as the target execution device based on the first data table, for example, the Brand A frequency converter. Optionally, after the Model A temperature sensor is determined as the target data collection device, the touch screen prompts the customer whether to use the frequency converter of the corresponding brand stored in the first data table as the target execution device. If the customer selects no, the frequency converter reselected by the customer through the touch screen is used as the target execution device.

[0049] Optionally, after determining the data acquisition device selected by the user as the target data acquisition device, the method further includes: the electronic device determining a second target channel from the plurality of channels to be selected based on the target data acquisition device, and the electronic device triggering an input point of a PLC to connect to the second target channel, thereby connecting the PLC to the target data acquisition device.

[0050] Optionally, the data acquisition device is a temperature sensor. A user can use the touch screen of the electronic device to select a temperature sensor from a plurality of temperature sensors of different brands and models as a target temperature sensor. Each temperature sensor corresponds to a signal input channel, and each signal input channel corresponds to a selected channel of the PLC.

[0051] Optionally, the electronic device determines the second target channel from a plurality of channels to be selected based on the target data acquisition device, including: the electronic device determines a signal transmission channel of the target data acquisition device based on the target data acquisition device. The electronic device determines the second target channel from the plurality of channels to be selected based on the signal transmission channel of the target data acquisition device.

[0052] Optionally, the electronic device determines the second target channel from a plurality of candidate channels based on the signal transmission channel of the target data acquisition device, including: the electronic device uses the signal transmission channel of the target data acquisition device to perform a search operation in a preset third data table to find the target candidate channel corresponding to the signal transmission channel of the target data acquisition device. The third data table stores the correspondence between the signal transmission channel of the data acquisition device and the target candidate channels. The electronic device determines the target candidate channel from the candidate channels as the second target channel.

[0053] By utilizing the correspondence between the signal transmission channel of the data acquisition device and the target candidate channel to determine the second target channel, the target channel can be quickly acquired from multiple candidate channels, which is beneficial to improving the matching efficiency between the data acquisition device and the candidate channels.

[0054] In one embodiment, after determining that the temperature sensor selected by the user is the target temperature sensor, such as Model A temperature sensor, the PLC is controlled to select a candidate channel from multiple candidate channels to connect to Model A temperature sensor. After the PLC connects to Model A temperature sensor, it receives data collected by Model A temperature sensor via input points and can send it to an electronic device such as a computer or server for processing or storage. In the event of a different brand of temperature sensor, such as Model B, the PLC is again controlled to determine a third target channel corresponding to Model B temperature sensor from the multiple candidate channels. The PLC then triggers the input points of the PLC to connect to the third target channel, allowing the PLC to connect to Model B temperature sensor, thereby receiving data collected by Model B temperature sensor and sending it to an electronic device such as a computer or server for processing or storage.

[0055] In this way, different data acquisition devices can be controlled through a single PLC input point without having to re-modify the PLC program. This allows the PLC to be used for multiple purposes, improves the efficiency of the connection between the PLC and data acquisition devices, and further reduces the cost of using the PLC.

[0056] Combine Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for PLC control, for example, the selection instruction is an instruction for the user to select a data acquisition device. The method includes:

[0057] Step S401: The electronic device determines the data collection device selected by the user as the target data collection device in response to the user's selection instruction.

[0058] In step S402 , the electronic device determines a second target channel from a plurality of channels to be selected according to the target data acquisition device.

[0059] In step S403, the electronic device triggers the input point of the PLC to be connected to the second target channel, so that the PLC is connected to the target data acquisition device.

[0060] The method for PLC control provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure determines a target data acquisition device in response to a user's selection instruction, determines a target channel corresponding to the target data acquisition device from multiple selectable channels that can communicate with the data acquisition device, and connects the PLC output point to the second target channel by triggering the PLC output point to connect to the target data acquisition device. This enables reception of different data acquisition devices through a single PLC input point. This eliminates the need to re-modify the PLC program, enabling the PLC to be used for multiple purposes, improving the efficiency of communication between the PLC and data acquisition devices, and further reducing the cost of using the PLC.

[0061] Optionally, after the electronic device triggers the output point of the PLC to be connected to the first target channel so that the PLC is connected to the target execution device, the electronic device further includes: the electronic device triggers the target execution device to operate according to the control instruction output by the PLC point.

[0064] Step S502: The electronic device determines a first target channel from a plurality of candidate channels according to a target execution device.

[0065] In step S503, the electronic device triggers the output point of the PLC to be connected to the first target channel, so that the PLC is connected to the target execution device.

[0066] In step S504, the electronic device triggers the target execution device to run according to the control instructions output by the PLC point.

[0067] In one embodiment, the execution device is a frequency converter. After the output point of the PLC is connected to the first target channel, the PLC is connected to the target execution device, for example, the target execution device is a brand A frequency converter. The PLC calls the PLC program to determine the motor speed corresponding to the brand A frequency converter, and outputs the above-mentioned motor speed as a control instruction through the output point to make the motor run. In the case of replacing the frequency converter of another brand, such as brand B, the PLC is controlled again to determine the fourth target channel corresponding to the brand B frequency converter from multiple channels to be selected, and then triggers the output point of the PLC to be connected to the above-mentioned fourth target channel, so that the PLC is connected to the target execution device, thereby controlling the corresponding motor to run according to the control instruction.

[0068] In this way, a single PLC output point can control different actuators without revising the PLC program. This allows for multiple uses of the PLC, improves the efficiency of the connection between the PLC and actuators, and further reduces the cost of using the PLC.

This allows different execution devices to be controlled through a single PLC output point. This eliminates the need to re-modify the PLC program, enabling multiple uses of the PLC and improving the efficiency of communication between the PLC and the execution devices.
