Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment, and in particular to an automatic control system and a multimodal communication method for a sewage treatment plant. Background Art
[0002] In the practical application of smart sewage treatment systems, the coordinated control of multimodal sensors and heterogeneous equipment faces significant challenges. In existing technologies, equipment from different manufacturers (such as pumps, valves, aerators, and dosing devices) usually adopt a variety of communication protocols (such as Modbus, Profinet, and OPC UA), resulting in reliance on customized middleware for data interaction, which severely limits the scalability and real-time performance of the system. At the same time, the data conflict problem caused by environmental interference or equipment drift in physical, chemical, and biological sensors has not been effectively solved. The traditional threshold alarm mechanism lacks cross-modal verification capabilities and is prone to misoperation. In addition, current control systems mostly rely on fixed rules and are difficult to dynamically adapt to sudden pollution events or equipment failures. The rigid resource allocation leads to low energy efficiency. More importantly, the timestamp deviation and spatial label mismatch of sensor data make it difficult for the digital twin model to truly reflect the state of the physical system, which in turn affects the global optimization decision. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a sewage treatment system with multimodal integration capabilities and adaptive mechanisms to achieve a technological breakthrough. Summary of the Invention

[0004] A protocol conversion module, used to convert multimodal data from different industrial communication protocols into a standardized format, is deployed on the edge computing gateway;
[0005] The spatiotemporal synchronization module uses a high-precision clock synchronization protocol to timestamp multiple modalities and associate data source locations based on spatial topology tags;
[0006] The data fusion module performs reliability-weighted fusion on multimodal data and dynamically adjusts the credibility score of multimodal data;
[0007] Dynamic resource allocation module, which switches communication paths through software-defined networks based on real-time load requirements and configures redundant channels for critical links;
[0008] The anomaly detection and error correction module identifies multimodal data conflicts based on a rule engine or machine learning model, and triggers cross-modal verification or manual intervention processes, simulating the conflict perception monitoring function of the prefrontal cortex.
[0009] In the preferred solution, the protocol conversion module supports the conversion of Modbus, OPC UA and Profinet protocols to MQTT or HTTP protocols, and the conversion process retains the semantic labels of the original multimodal data.

[0026] S4. Dynamically allocate communication resources based on real-time network load to enhance bandwidth and redundancy of critical data links;
[0027] S5. After detecting multimodal data conflicts, the historical pattern library and cross-modal verification process are called to correct errors.
[0028] In a preferred solution, the generation of the reliability weighted control parameter further includes:
[0029] When it is detected that the data of a certain sensor deviates from the historical pattern by more than a threshold, its credibility weight is automatically reduced;
[0030] In the case of communication delay or data loss, an LSTM neural network is used to predict missing data values.
[0031] In a preferred solution, the operation of dynamic resource allocation includes:
[0032] In the event of sudden pollution, bandwidth is allocated first to control instructions for toxicity sensors and emergency dosing equipment;
[0033] The SDN controller routes non-urgent data to a low-priority queue.
[0034] In the preferred solution, the cross-modal verification process includes:
[0035] When the data from the pH sensor and the ORP sensor are inconsistent, the camera is used to analyze the foam morphology in the sedimentation tank to assist in decision-making;
[0036] When the flow meter data is abnormal, the pump current signal is compared with the valve opening data for physical consistency verification.
[0037] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
