Step 4: Install and debug the controller, and check whether the controller is operating normally to ensure that the controller is functioning properly.

[0020] Specifically, the functional requirements of industrial control in step one include real-time data acquisition and monitoring, motion control, equipment interconnection and communication, fault diagnosis, and user operation. Real-time data acquisition and monitoring involves collecting and recording status data from sensors and equipment in real time to ensure the safety and stability of the production process. Motion control supports multi-axis motion control, including linear interpolation, circular interpolation, point-to-point control, and speed control, to meet the accuracy and response requirements of different application scenarios. Equipment interconnection and communication utilizes various communication interfaces, such as RS232, RS485, CAN, and EtherCAT, to achieve interconnection and interoperability with other industrial equipment, such as servo drives, sensors, and PLCs, to build a complete automation system. Fault diagnosis provides fault detection and alarm functions, monitors the system's operating status in real time, promptly detects and handles faults, and ensures high system availability. User operation provides a user-friendly interface that supports graphical programming and configuration, enabling users to set up, monitor, and manage the system.

[0021] Specifically, the industrial equipment cascading network in step two includes controller functional modules, input / output interfaces, expansion and compatibility, and data processing and monitoring. The controller functional modules include power supply, system indicator lights, and communication interfaces. The power supply provides 24V DC power to the controller, ensuring stable voltage operation. The power supply interface has positive, negative, and ground terminals to ensure system safety. System indicator lights include power indicator lights and system operation indicator lights, which visually display the equipment's operating status for real-time monitoring. The communication interfaces equip the controller with USB, Ethernet, and EtherCAT interfaces. EtherCAT, short for Ethernet for Control Automation Technology, is a real-time industrial network protocol based on Ethernet, widely used in automation and control systems. It supports multiple communication protocols to meet the connection needs of different devices and systems. The input / output interfaces include 8 digital input ports, 8 digital output ports, and a multi-encoder interface. The digital input ports receive signals from sensors and switches to monitor equipment status in real time. The digital output ports control actuators, such as solenoid valves and relays, to achieve precise control of the equipment. The encoder interface is used for precise motion control and position feedback to improve the motion accuracy of the equipment.

[0022] Furthermore, the industrial equipment cascading network in step two also includes CAN cables, RS485 cables, and RS232 cables. CAN cables, short for Controller Area Network Cables, are used for communication between master and slave stations, with a maximum communication distance of 1000m between any two stations. The shielding layer connects to the CAN GND terminal of each station. RS485 cables, short for Recommended Standard 485 Cables, are also used for communication between master and slave stations, with a maximum communication distance of 1000m between any two stations. The shielding layer connects to the RS485 GND terminal of each station. RS232 cables, short for Recommended Standard 232 Cables, are used for communication between master and slave stations, with a maximum communication distance of 5m between any two stations.

[0023] Furthermore, the programming languages ​​supported in step three include, but are not limited to, C, C++, Lua, and QT. C stands for "C Programming Language," a general-purpose programming language. C++ stands for "CPlus Plus," a programming language based on C. Lua stands for "Lua Programming Language," a lightweight and efficient scripting language. QT is a cross-platform application development framework used to develop graphical user interface applications. Qt stands for "Qt Framework."

[0024] Furthermore, the integrated AI algorithm in step three is connected to the controller core through a programming language and a box encoder. The AI ​​algorithm dynamically adjusts the equipment based on visual monitoring and data feedback. This dynamic adjustment includes motion stroke optimization and motion safety optimization. By optimizing the motion stroke, work efficiency is improved, time and energy are saved. By optimizing the motion safety, the safety of the motion control system is improved, reducing the risk of malfunctions and accidents, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of equipment operation.

[0025] In particular, optimizing exercise distance includes the following steps: S3.1: Collect equipment operating status data through visual monitoring and data feedback, and read the controller output commands for equipment operation; S3.2: Judge the command output by the controller to run the device, and determine whether the device running command is a specific work stroke. If the device running command is a specific work stroke, do not optimize this stroke to avoid path optimization affecting the specific running command of the device. In addition, the specific running command output by the controller has priority to prevent AI path optimization from tampering with the specific running command output by the controller. S3.3: When the device operation command is not a specific work stroke, read the device operation path and set the start and end points of the path as follows. and Set the path length to and calculate and The straight-line distance between them is set to ,Compare and The magnitude of the value, when and If the paths are the same, then no optimization is needed, meaning the device's operating path is already the optimal path. S3.4: When Less than When the value is obtained, it is collected through visual monitoring. and Does the straight path have obstacles? and When there are no obstacles on the straight connection path, the equipment can be directly driven along the straight path from... Point movement to point; S3.5: When and When there are obstacles on the straight connection path, set multiple Points, forming multiple , and Connect the paths, and make , and Connect the lines to overcome obstacles and select the optimal path. , and The connection path is set as follows: ,Compare and The magnitude of the value, when and If they are the same, then the itinerary does not need to be optimized. Less than When the value is [value], directly make the device [follow / follow / etc.]. point, Point movement to By optimizing the path, the operating efficiency of the equipment can be improved.

[0026] Furthermore, sports safety optimization includes risk assessment and identification, threshold setting and monitoring, redundancy design, and emergency shutdown mechanisms. Risk assessment and identification involves identifying potential risks and safety hazards, such as obstacles and equipment malfunctions, and assessing the severity and probability of different risks. Threshold setting and monitoring involves setting safety thresholds based on the characteristics of sensors, such as proximity sensors and temperature sensors, and monitoring sensor data in real time to determine whether the set thresholds are exceeded. When the set thresholds are exceeded, an alarm is triggered in time to reduce losses caused by equipment failures. Redundancy design involves introducing redundancy in key components, such as sensors and controllers, to ensure that the system can still operate normally in the event of partial failure. Through multi-sensor fusion, the accuracy and reliability of environmental perception are improved. Redundancy design includes hardware redundancy, software redundancy, and information redundancy. Hardware redundancy involves adding extra hardware components to the system, such as backup sensors and backup power supplies, to ensure that backup components can immediately take over the function when the main component fails. Software redundancy involves using multiple algorithms or programs to achieve the same function, ensuring that if one algorithm malfunctions, other algorithms can continue to work normally. Information redundancy involves adding extra information during data transmission or storage to facilitate recovery in case of data loss or corruption. The emergency shutdown mechanism sets the conditions and thresholds for emergency shutdown, triggers the emergency shutdown procedure immediately when a danger is detected, and tests the effectiveness of the emergency shutdown mechanism regularly to ensure its reliability in actual situations.

[0027] Furthermore, in step four, controller installation involves laying out the controller according to its installation dimensions and correctly connecting the power and signal lines. Controller debugging includes power and indicator light testing, communication testing, encoder function testing, and troubleshooting. The power and indicator light testing confirms correct power connections; after powering on, check if the controller's power indicator light is on to ensure normal power supply. The communication test checks if the device can communicate normally and manually operates the controller to output signals, detecting whether the controller has signal output and feedback signal input. The encoder function test monitors the encoder signal in real time using monitoring software, checking if the encoder outputs A, B, and Z phase signals correctly to verify the accuracy of position feedback. The A signal is the first phase signal output by the encoder, typically used to indicate position changes; during rotation, the A signal generates a sine wave. The A signal changes with the direction of rotation. The direction of rotation can be detected by the rising and falling edges of the A signal. The B signal is the second phase signal of the encoder, which is usually 90 degrees out of phase with the A signal. The B signal is also used to determine the position and direction. By observing the phase relationship between the A and B signals, the direction of rotation can be determined. If the A signal rises before the B signal, it indicates clockwise rotation, and vice versa, it indicates counterclockwise rotation. The Z signal is usually called the "zero signal" or "return to zero signal". It is a one-time pulse signal, which is usually output when the encoder rotates to a specific reference position. The Z signal is used to calibrate the position and ensure that the system can accurately know its current position when it starts up. It is usually used for reset or return to zero operation. Troubleshooting involves checking and repairing faults detected by power supply and indicator light tests, communication tests, and encoder function tests.

[0028] Another objective of this invention is to provide a control system for an industrial controller with AI extension capabilities, comprising a controller module, a data transmission module, a programming module, a visual monitoring module, a motion optimization module, a data storage module, and a debugging and optimization module. The controller module is used to control equipment operation and perform visual monitoring, and also to integrate AI algorithms. The data transmission module is used to transmit information between the controller module and the equipment. The programming module is used to program the logic of the controller module for controlling equipment operation and visual monitoring. The visual monitoring module is used to monitor the equipment's operating status in real time through sensors and cameras, collect visual data, and provide basic data support for motion optimization and motion safety optimization. The motion optimization module optimizes the equipment's operating trajectory based on the data collected and fed back by the visual monitoring module. The data storage module is used to store and record the data generated during the operation of the controller and the equipment. The debugging and optimization module is used to test and adjust the system's operation to ensure normal system operation.
