The data concentrator employs an industrial-grade embedded computer, boasting powerful processing capabilities and high stability, with a metal casing providing excellent electromagnetic shielding. The data concentrator then utilizes industrial Ethernet to transmit the data to the data processing center. Industrial Ethernet uses fiber optic cables as the transmission medium, offering strong anti-interference capabilities and long transmission distances.

The analog signals output from the sensors first enter the dedicated signal conditioning chip, are processed, converted into digital signals by the ADC, and then transmitted to the DSP for data fusion.

These fuzzy rules are stored in the PLC's memory, enabling rapid data processing and logical judgment through hardware circuitry. A distributed architecture is adopted, using industrial Ethernet as the data transmission backbone to connect various sensor nodes, fuzzy controllers, motor drivers, and other devices. Industrial-grade industrial Ethernet switches ensure fast and accurate data transmission. The core of the control system is a high-performance industrial computer, housed in a ruggedized chassis, providing dustproof, moisture-proof, and vibration-resistant capabilities to withstand harsh industrial environments. Redundant power supplies and data backup devices are provided.

The data fusion and processing module processes the collected data. The analog signals output by the sensors are first amplified and filtered by a dedicated signal conditioning chip in the data preprocessing unit, and then converted into digital signals by an analog-to-digital converter chip. Subsequently, they are transmitted to a digital signal processor (DSP) for fusion processing to eliminate noise and errors, obtaining more accurate and comprehensive fiber combing status information. The programmable logic controller (PLC) in the intelligent control module receives the fused data through the input / output module. Based on the fuzzy rules preset in memory, it performs rapid processing and logical judgment by hardware circuitry to adjust parameters such as the speed ratio of the combing machine, and transmits control signals to the motor drive module. The motor drive module, in conjunction with a servo driver employing vector control technology, precisely adjusts the motor speed, torque, and direction, achieving efficient driving of key components of the combing machine.
