Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a rapid fault handling device for automatic control systems, belonging to the field of automatic control, and particularly to an emergency rapid fault handling control device for weak current faults in air handling units. Background Technology

[0002] The controllers of automatic control systems mainly include main control systems such as PLCs, DCSs, and FCSs. In low-level applications, PLC control systems are the most common; while in large and medium-sized control systems requiring distributed control and centralized management, DCS control systems are typically used. FCS systems are mainly used in large systems and are also the most promising fieldbus control system of the 21st century, with intricate connections to PLCs and DCSs. As the core of field automation equipment, the controller is responsible for the execution and feedback of all field devices, the acquisition of all parameters, and the issuance of commands.

[0003] Air handling units typically use automatic control systems to regulate and maintain environmental parameters. When a fault occurs in the air handling unit's automatic control system, it is necessary to quickly address the fault to ensure that the working environment protected by the air handling unit is not affected.

[0004] The reasons why the automatic control system cannot be repaired in a timely manner include:

[0005] 1. The automatic control software program is missing, requiring professional technicians to reprogram and update the software;

[0006] 2. If the on-site DDC controller equipment fails, the first step is to purchase the necessary components, and then have a professional perform the data reading and writing work.

[0007] 3. Data transmission line failure, requiring comprehensive line inspection and repair;

[0008] 4. The transmitter is malfunctioning and requires the purchase of replacement parts;

[0009] 5. The centralized control center has no power supply.

[0010] 6. Certain force majeure events prevent professional technicians from arriving at the site in a timely manner to carry out fault repair work. Utility Model Content

The maximum priority of the unit controller ensures that a specific key setting is executed first under certain conditions. In the unit controller, this function allows ensuring that a particular signal or setpoint has the highest priority when multiple control signals or setpoints exist, thereby achieving precise and efficient control of the system.

[0017] Analog signal output, used to provide DC0-10V analog signals to the output analog signal proportional actuator, including at least a set of positive proportional analog signals and a set of negative proportional analog signals;

Among Siemens' many products, the RWD series field preset program unit controller offers relatively high cost-effectiveness, ease of operation, comprehensive built-in programs, and a relatively high degree of development and utilization.

[0024] Preferably, an AC24V intermediate relay is added to the Siemens 090707C digital actuator to form an electrically controlled valve with digital I / O signal input.

[0025] Preferably, the humidity control program is used to change the transmitter's measurement unit and rated measurement range.

[0026] Preferably, the power converter includes an isolation control transformer, whose primary and secondary sides are electrically insulated from each other, thereby isolating the circuit; its core is a high-frequency, high-loss core, thereby suppressing high-frequency noise entering and exiting the control circuit and improving the stability of the control system; the output of the isolation transformer is suspended to ground, suitable for applications with a small power supply range and short lines. In this case, the system's ground capacitance current is too small to cause personal injury, protecting personal safety and isolating dangerous voltages.

[0027] Preferably, the isolation transformer is a Chint NDK-25 isolation control transformer.

[0028] Preferably, the transmitter is a QFM2160 temperature and humidity controller. This controller has four terminals: AV24V power output, 0-100% humidity signal output, and 0-50℃ temperature signal output.

[0029] The beneficial effects that this application can produce include:

[0030] 1) When the automatic control system of the air handling unit fails and cannot be repaired in time, this application can replace the original automatic control system and quickly establish a local high-precision and high-stability automatic control system.

[0031] 2) The power converter uses an isolation transformer, which is electrically insulated from the primary side and the secondary side. Its core is a high-frequency loss core, and the output of the isolation transformer is suspended to ground. This suppresses high-frequency noise from entering and exiting the control circuit, improves the stability of the control system, protects personal safety, and isolates dangerous voltages.

[0032] 3) Temperature and humidity adjustment can be programmed and controlled online, with a wide dynamic range, quick and convenient operation, and high precision. Attached Figure Description

[0067] Experimental verification of the pre-set program segments #16 and #36 was carried out.

[0068] (1) #16 Program Experiment

[0069] At the start of the experiment, the temperature sensor measured a room temperature of 25.1℃, the infrared thermometer measured 24.5℃, and X1 measured 24.8℃. Q1 was ON. The SP-C temperature was set to 24℃, and Q1 displayed ON. The unit controller began outputting digital signals. Using a digital multimeter in continuity mode, points Q11-Q14 were found to be ON, while points Q11-Q12 were ON, indicating normal forward digital signal output. The air conditioner was then turned on to raise the room temperature. After 12 minutes and 5 seconds, X1 measured a room temperature of 24.3℃, and Q1 displayed OFF. The unit controller stopped outputting digital signals. Using a digital multimeter, points Q11-Q14 were found to be ON, while Q11-Q12 were found to be ON, indicating normal reverse digital signal output. Shorting points M-D1 resulted in sensitive day / night mode switching in program segment #16. This indicates that the temperature control experiment in program segment #16 was successful.

[0070] The unit of measurement of the unit controller was changed from ℃ to %, and a humidity adjustment test was conducted on the sensor manually. The digital signal output was normal, indicating that the modified program segment can realize the transmission of digital humidification signals.

[0071] Experimental data shows that the temperature data measured by program segment X1 and the accuracy of the Q1 signal output meet the design requirements of the air handling unit.

[0072] (2) Test of program segment #36

[0073] At the start of the experiment, the temperature sensor measured a room temperature of 24.8℃, the infrared thermometer measured 24.2℃, X1 measured 24.5℃, and Y1 displayed 0. The SP-C temperature was set to 23.5℃. Y1 gradually changed from 0 to 10, indicating that the unit controller began outputting a 0-10V analog signal. Using a digital multimeter in DC voltage mode, M-Y1 gradually increased from 0V to 10V, indicating that the analog signal output was normal. The air conditioner was turned on to raise the room temperature. After 8 minutes and 50 seconds, when X1 measured a room temperature of 23.6℃, ​​Y1 displayed 5, indicating that the analog signal output voltage had dropped to approximately DC 5V. The digital multimeter measured the output voltage at this point as DC 4.96V. After 10 minutes and 15 seconds, X1 measured a room temperature of 24.1℃, and Y1 displayed 0. Using a digital multimeter, the M-Y1 output voltage was measured as 0, indicating that the unit controller stopped outputting analog signals. This experiment concluded that the analog signal program segment test was successful.

[0074] Experimental data shows that the accuracy of the data measured by the modified program segment X1 and the output of the Y1 signal meets the design requirements of the air handling unit.
