Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wireless control of power supply vehicles, specifically relating to a power supply vehicle control system based on Modbus wireless local area network communication. Technical Background

[0002] A power supply vehicle is a mobile power supply unit integrating a generator set, control system, power distribution device, and auxiliary equipment. It provides stable and reliable power support when there is no fixed power source or when the power grid fails. It is widely used in emergency rescue, engineering construction, military activities, and large-scale event support, serving as an important supplement to the modern power supply system. Regarding its control system, current products on the market use onboard control boxes or panels for human-machine interaction. This requires at least one person operating the power supply vehicle and another operating the load. Throughout the process, the two individuals need to maintain constant communication and coordination via walkie-talkies or similar devices. This method demands significant human resources and is prone to information transmission errors during communication. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a power vehicle control system based on Modbus wireless local area network (WLAN) communication. The control system includes a handheld tablet, a wireless router, a DC voltage regulator module, a PLC, an IG controller, an IM controller, a circuit breaker, and various sensors. The operator uses the handheld tablet to transmit control commands to the PLC via the LAN created by the wireless router. The PLC then transmits the control commands to the IG and IM controllers using the Modbus communication protocol. Finally, the IG and IM controllers execute the control commands to control the circuit breaker's on / off state, achieving wireless control functionality. Simultaneously, voltage, current, and temperature signals collected by various sensors can also be transmitted to the handheld tablet, allowing the operator to remotely view the real-time status information of the power vehicle.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A power supply vehicle control system based on Modbus wireless local area network communication includes a handheld operating device, a DC voltage regulator module, a PLC, a controller, and sensors; the DC voltage regulator module provides power to the electrical equipment, the handheld operating device communicates wirelessly with the PLC, the PLC is electrically connected to the controller, the controller controls the power supply vehicle's power supply device, and the sensors are electrically connected to the controller.

[0006] Furthermore, the PLC creates a local area network (LAN) via a wireless router, and the handheld operating device connects to the LAN via Wi-Fi to interact with the PLC.

[0007] Furthermore, the PLC, controller, and sensors form an RS485 network.

[0008] Furthermore, the RS485 network uses the Modbus communication protocol for data exchange.

[0009] Furthermore, the handheld operating device is independent of the power supply vehicle. The wireless router, DC regulated power supply, and PLC are located in the electrical control box, the controller is located on the operating panel, the circuit breaker is located in the circuit breaker cabinet of the vehicle, and various sensors are located on the output wiring harness of the power supply vehicle and inside the vehicle.

[0010] Furthermore, the controller includes an IG controller and an IM controller, which control the on / off state of the circuit breaker.

[0011] This invention implements a power supply vehicle control system based on Modbus wireless local area network communication. It solves the problem of the inability to remotely operate the power supply vehicle, enabling a single person to operate both the power supply vehicle and the load end, saving labor costs and improving operational convenience and safety. Using a PLC as the data interaction medium, it employs both wireless local area network and RS485 network to achieve the issuance and execution of wireless operation commands. It realizes the function of remotely wirelessly operating the power supply vehicle's start / stop and output modes. Attached Figure Description
