[0017] In order to solve the problems that the training device is backward in equipment and technology and cannot meet the needs of students and enterprise training personnel to master the latest technologies and operation methods, our teaching team has completed this modular and intelligent intelligent industrial control device composed of the most advanced industrial control equipment, the latest industrial control software, and the latest communication networking methods.

[0018] The existing intelligent control devices in the school training room adopt the Yalong YL-360B series programmable control training devices. The devices mainly include Mitsubishi FX3U-48MR programmable controllers, 7062K series touch screens, Mitsubishi E700 inverters and some auxiliary function modules. The connection between these components is very inconvenient: the 7062K series touch screen is connected to the upper computer through a USB cable, and the communication line between the Mitsubishi FX3U-48MR programmable controller and the computer uses the RS232 communication method. After the program is downloaded, the RS232 communication line needs to be unplugged from the COM port of the computer and then inserted into the COM port of the 7062K series touch screen to complete the communication between the 7062K series touch screen and the Mitsubishi FX3U-48MR programmable controller. Frequent plugging and unplugging of the communication line is likely to damage the COM port, resulting in equipment failures and increasing maintenance costs. The Mitsubishi E700 inverter lacks a LAN communication port, which limits the flexibility and expandability of the connection. The peripheral hard wiring of the Mitsubishi FX3U-48MR programmable controller only has the external terminal control connection method. If the FX3U-48MR programmable controller has no AD module, it is impossible to collect analog quantities, making the control function incomplete. The 7062K series touch screen of this device cannot be directly connected to the Mitsubishi E700 inverter and can only be connected to the Mitsubishi FX3U-48MR programmable controller respectively. Data exchange is carried out through the Mitsubishi FX3U-48MR programmable controller. The 7062K series touch screen cannot exchange information with the Mitsubishi E700 inverter and must first exchange through the Mitsubishi FX3U-48MR programmable controller, which affects work efficiency and makes the connection more complex. Especially when the number of inverters is large, this connection disadvantage is more obvious. In addition, this set of devices is not equipped with a power supply, a switch and a DC relay, and the operation is cumbersome.

[0019] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0020] A new type of intelligent industrial control device includes a touch screen 1, a PLC 2, a DC relay 3, an inverter 4, a circuit breaker 5, a switching power supply 6, a switch and an external wiring terminal block 7. The circuit breaker 5 is connected to the switching power supply 6. The switching power supply 6 is connected to the PLC 2, the touch screen 1 and the inverter 4. The PLC 2 is connected to the DC relay 3. The DC relay 3 is connected to the external wiring terminal 7. The PLC 2, the touch screen 1 and the inverter 4 are connected to the switch through network cables.

[0021] The touch screen model is TPC7022Ni, the PLC model is SIMATICS7-200SMART CPU SR30 Siemens programmable controller, the inverter model is FR-CS84 Mitsubishi inverter, the circuit breaker model is DZ47-60D20, and the switch is an Ethernet switch.

[0022] The touch screen of the new intelligent industrial control device in this application is the most advanced TPC of Kunlun Tongtai Company, with the model number TPC7022Ni. The TPC7022Ni touch screen supports 4G wireless communication and WiFi communication. It can connect to the 4G network by inserting a SIM card or connect to the wireless network by installing a WiFi antenna. In addition, this touch screen also supports remote debugging. Through the MCGS debugging assistant software, a VPN channel can be established among the "PC / mobile phone client <——> VPN server <——> touch screen" to achieve the remote debugging function. This set of devices uses LAN (Local Area Network) communication and is connected to the wired network through an Ethernet interface.

[0023] The Siemens programmable controller selects the most advanced SIMATIC S7-200 SMART CPU SR30 in current medium and small systems. The advantages of this device compared with the previous devices are as follows: 1. Ethernet interface: The CPU module body is standard-equipped with an Ethernet interface, which can be used to transmit programs with ordinary network cables, convenient and fast, and eliminating the need for programming cables. Through the Ethernet interface, it can also communicate with other CPU modules, touch screens, computers, etc., and easily form a network. 2. High-speed chip: This device is equipped with a Siemens high-speed processor chip, and the basic instruction execution time can reach 0.15 μs, leading in the same-level small PLCs, and can easily handle cumbersome program logics and complex process requirements. 3. Option expansion: The novel signal board design can expand communication ports, digital quantity channels, and analog quantity channels. Without occupying additional space in the electric control cabinet, the signal board expansion can better fit the actual configuration of users, improve the utilization rate of products, and at the same time reduce the expansion cost of users.

[0024] The selected inverter is the FR-CS84 series, which is a small intelligent inverter of Mitsubishi inverters, equipped with communication interfaces such as RS485 for data exchange with external devices. It is more convenient to communicate than the original E700 series. Due to its built-in Modbus-RTU protocol, it can communicate with other devices that support this protocol. When using the communication function, the I / O terminals of the inverter can be controlled through the remote output function of the PLC. Compared with the original E700 series, the advantages of the FR-CS84 series are mainly reflected in the following aspects: Smaller size: The volume of the FR-CS84 series is 57% of that of Mitsubishi's equivalent models, saving more space. More flexible installation method: The positions and quantities of the installation screw holes of the FR-CS84 series are different from those of the E700 series, making it more flexible during installation. Richer functions: The FR-CS84 series has functions such as triangular wave function, strong excitation deceleration, PID control, and regeneration avoidance function, while the E700 series has functions such as flux vector control, PID control, and flexible PWM.

[0025] Considering the use of this device, 8 DC relays are configured at the output end of the PLC, increasing the control flexibility of the output end. This enables both AC and DC loads to be effectively driven and controlled, broadening the range of device types that can be driven. The action speed of DC relays is relatively fast, with timely response, allowing for relatively precise control. At the same time, this configuration also helps improve the reliability and stability of the system, enabling it to adapt well to different application scenarios and load conditions. It provides guarantees for the application of the device in various complex environments and can meet the diverse output control requirements of different users.

[0026] The circuit breaker model of this application is DZ47-60 D20. Its main functions are as follows: 1. Overload protection: When the current in the circuit exceeds the rated current of the circuit breaker (such as 20A) for a certain period of time, the circuit breaker will automatically trip to prevent situations such as overheating of the circuit and damage to equipment caused by excessive current, thus protecting the electrical circuit and equipment from overload damage. 2. Short-circuit protection: In the event of a serious short-circuit fault in the circuit, it can quickly cut off the circuit to avoid the expansion of the fault range and prevent serious consequences such as electrical fires. 3. Isolation of power supply: The circuit breaker can be manually operated to disconnect and isolate the circuit from the power supply, facilitating equipment maintenance and repair work.

[0027] A switching power supply is separately configured in the device. The input AC voltage range of this switching power supply is 100 - 240V, the input AC current is 2.1A, the output DC voltage is 24V, and the output DC current is 4.5A. A switching power supply is a power device that converts AC power into DC power, and its function is to provide a stable DC power supply for other electronic devices. In this device, the switching power supply provides the required 24V DC power supply for devices such as the FR-CS84 series Mitsubishi inverters, Siemens programmable controller SIMATIC S7-200 SMART CPU SR30 devices, and TPC7022Ni touch screens to ensure their normal operation. At the same time, the functions of the switching power supply in this device also include isolation and protection: achieving electrical isolation between the input and output, and playing a certain role in overvoltage, overcurrent, etc. protection for the backend devices.

[0028] In this device, the switch used is a common Ethernet switch, which can perform data transmission between 24 port pairs at the same time. Each port can be regarded as an independent network segment and does not need to compete with other devices for use. The Ethernet switch mainly has the following functions here: 1. Connect different devices: It can connect various devices in the device (such as frequency converters, controllers, touch screens, etc.) together through Ethernet interfaces to form a local area network. 2. Data exchange and communication: It realizes fast and efficient data exchange and communication between devices, ensuring that information can be transmitted between devices in a timely and accurate manner. 3. Improve network bandwidth: It allows multiple ports to perform data transmission simultaneously, avoiding data congestion and improving the bandwidth and transmission efficiency of the entire network. 4. Network expansion: It is convenient to add other Ethernet devices to the network later, with good scalability and compatibility. 5. Data isolation and distribution: It isolates and distributes data according to the set rules, enabling each device to accurately obtain the data it needs.

[0029] Finally, it is emphasized that to realize the connection and configuration of the FR-CS84 series Mitsubishi frequency converters, Siemens programmable controller SIMATIC S7-200 SMART CPU SR30 device and TPC7022Ni touch screen, the following steps need to be taken: 1. Determine the connection method: According to the interface type and requirements of the device, determine the appropriate connection method. The connection methods include cable connection, communication interface connection, etc. 2. Connect the power supply: Connect the circuit breaker to the three-phase AC power supply to ensure normal power supply. 3. Connect the FR-CS84 series Mitsubishi frequency converter: According to the interface requirements of the frequency converter, use the appropriate cable to connect it to the switching power supply. 4. Connect the Siemens programmable controller SIMATIC S7-200 SMART CPU SR30 device: Similarly, according to the interface requirements of the controller, use the appropriate cable to connect it to the switching power supply. Connect the TPC7022Ni touch screen: According to the interface type of the touch screen, select the appropriate connection method to connect it to the switching power supply. 5. Set parameters and program: According to the instructions and requirements of each device, perform corresponding parameter settings and programming. This can include setting the operating parameters of the frequency converter, the logic programming of the controller, the interface design of the touch screen, etc. 6. Perform communication configuration: If communication between devices needs to be realized, such as communication between the touch screen and the controller, perform corresponding configuration according to the communication protocol of the device. 7. Test and debug: After completing the connection and setting, perform system testing and debugging. Check the operating status of each device and whether the communication is normal to ensure that the system can work as expected.
