These indicator lights are primarily for operators, displaying the overall operating status, working mode, fault alarms, and other information of the entire loading arm control system, allowing operators to intuitively understand the overall operation of the equipment. For example, whether the system is ready, whether the loading arm has reached the target position, and whether there is a fault.

[0041] The touchscreen 15 uses the Kunlun Tongtai MCGS TPC1071Gi display, which consists of a display screen, touch sensor, control circuit, etc., and can display equipment status and receive operation commands. The touchscreen 15 is installed in the upper middle part of the cabinet 1 for easy observation and operation by the operator.

[0042] In this embodiment, the power module 8 provides power support for the entire control cabinet and is electrically connected to the controller 2, servo driver 3, positioning module 5, voice broadcast module 6, first indicator light 7, controller power supply 9, I / O terminal module 10, relay 11, switch 12, operation panel button 13, second indicator light 14, and touch screen 15 via power lines. When an external power source is connected to the power module 8, after conversion, it supplies power to the controller 2, servo driver 3, positioning module 5, voice broadcast module 6, first indicator light 7, controller power supply 9, I / O terminal module 10, relay 11, switch 12, operation panel button 13, second indicator light 14, and touch screen 15 via power lines.

[0043] Controller 2 and servo driver 3 are connected via a communication cable. Common communication interfaces include RS-485 and Ethernet. Controller 2 sends motion commands to servo driver 3. After receiving the commands, servo driver 3 drives the external servo motor and feeds back the speed, load, and other status information of the external servo motor to controller 2.

[0044] The controller 2 and the positioning module 5 are connected via Ethernet and use the TCP / IP protocol for data exchange. When the controller 2 starts the positioning program, it sends a positioning command to the positioning server. The positioning module 2 obtains the position coordinates of the loading arm and transmits the coordinate data back to the controller 2 via Ethernet.

[0045] The controller 2 is connected to the voice broadcast module 6 via an audio cable. The controller 2 sends the voice broadcast instruction signal to the voice broadcast module 6, and the voice broadcast module 6 broadcasts according to the instruction.

[0046] The first indicator light 7 is connected to the output port of the controller 2 via a wire. It is used to directly display the operating status and alarm information of the core components inside the cabinet. For example, it can indicate whether the controller 2 is operating normally or whether the servo drive 3 is working. It mainly reflects the operation and fault conditions inside the equipment, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to quickly understand the core operating status inside the cabinet.

[0047] The controller 2 is connected to the I / O terminal block module 10 to receive and send various signals, such as signals from sensors and signals to actuators. The I / O terminal block module 10 is connected to various external sensors and actuators via wires to transmit external signals to the controller 2. After processing, the controller 2 issues corresponding action commands through the I / O terminal block module 10.

[0048] Relay 11 is connected to the output port of controller 2. Controller 2 sends commands to relay 11 according to preset control logic to control the relay to open and close, thereby realizing the power supply control of devices such as servo driver 3.

[0049] The controller 2, positioning module 5, and touch screen 15 form a local area network through the switch 12, and use the TCP / IP protocol to exchange data, so as to realize information sharing and collaborative work between the devices.

[0050] The control panel button 13 is directly connected to the input port of the controller 2 via a wire. When the operator presses the button, the change in the button's on / off state is converted into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the corresponding input port of the controller 2 via the wire. After recognizing the signal, the controller 2 executes the preset control function corresponding to the button.

[0051] The controller 2 is connected to the touch screen 15 via a communication interface, commonly a USB interface or an Ethernet interface. The touch screen 15 transmits the operator's input commands to the controller 2, the controller 2 executes the corresponding operations according to the commands, and displays the operating status of the loading arm on the touch screen 15.

[0052] The first indicator light 7 is connected to the output port of the controller 2 via a wire. The controller 2 outputs electrical signals to the corresponding indicator light based on the operating status of the loading arm and the preset indicator light control logic, causing the indicator light to light up or turn off, thus visually displaying the operating status of the equipment to the operator.

[0053] The servo motor power terminal 4 is connected to the servo driver 3 via the servo motor cable and is used to control the operation of the external servo motor.

[0054] The controller power supply 9 is connected to the controller 2 via a power cord. The controller power supply 9 obtains power from the power module 8 and, through its own circuit conversion (such as AC / DC conversion), converts the power into DC power (such as a common 24V DC power supply) that the controller 2 can use, ensuring that the controller 2 can operate within a suitable voltage and current range. The controller power supply 9 includes overvoltage protection and undervoltage protection. These protection mechanisms can work in conjunction with the monitoring function of the controller 2, promptly notifying the controller 2 to take appropriate measures when the power module 8 malfunctions.

[0055] In practical applications, when chemical media need to be transported, operators can initiate the automatic positioning program of the loading arm via the touchscreen 15 or the control panel button 13. After receiving the instruction, the controller 2 sends an identification command to the positioning module 5. The positioning module 5 obtains the position of the loading arm and returns the coordinate information after positioning to the controller 2. The controller 1 sends corresponding motion commands to the servo driver 2. The servo driver 2 drives the external servo motor to operate according to the commands, moving the loading arm towards the target position. During the movement, the I / O terminals receive various signals from the loading arm, such as proximity switch signals and limit switch signals, and transmit them to the controller 2. Simultaneously, the touchscreen 15 displays the movement status and operating parameters of the loading arm in real time, and the voice broadcast module 6 provides voice prompts at different stages, such as loading arm startup, reaching the target position, and encountering abnormal situations, providing comprehensive information feedback to the operator, facilitating timely understanding of the loading arm's operating status and enabling appropriate operations.

[0056] It should be noted that this utility model improves the composition, layout, and connection method of the internal components of the control cabinet, but does not improve the program of this application. For example, the controller can use its own model to acquire information and send instructions, and this embodiment does not improve its control method. The same applies to other components.
