[0118] 9. Supports BNC analog input / output, supports external commands, and supports external sweep frequency metering.

[0119] Furthermore, the enclosure of the centralized loading servo controller provided in this application embodiment includes a front panel and a rear panel. The enclosure of the centralized loading servo controller provided in this application embodiment has a good human-machine interface design, and the human-machine interface panel has complete functions, including relevant control buttons, indicator lights, and a buzzer, meeting the needs of loading control scenarios.

[0120] The control module panel includes: a main control power button (controls the CPU main control module to power on / off); a main control restart button (controls the CPU main control module to restart); main control status indicator lights (indicate the power-on status and hard disk read / write status of the main control module, respectively); a load self-test indicator light (a solid red light indicates the controller is ready after a successful self-test); a load run indicator light (lit up after the load control starts running); and a load alarm indicator light (lit up after the load system experiences a protection event).

[0121] The centralized loading servo controller provided in this application integrates traditional industrial computer and board-based controllers, highly integrating the main control module, signal input module, signal output module, communication module, and conditioning and amplification module to form an integrated loading controller with a unified input / output interface. Through hardware generalization design, it is compatible with common sensor types, including load (force / torque) sensors, analog displacement sensors, orthogonal coded signal displacement sensors (such as magnetic rulers and optical encoders), angle encoders, etc. Furthermore, it has complete hardware interfaces, including fiber optic reflective memory, clock synchronization, Ethernet, and BNC analog signals, maximizing the fulfillment of external control and synchronization requirements in various scenarios. The centralized loading servo controller of this application has a fully functional human-machine interface panel with relevant control buttons, indicator lights, and a buzzer, meeting the needs of loading control scenarios and demonstrating excellent human-machine interaction design.

[0122] Preferably, the main control module of the centralized loading servo controller provided in this application also includes a self-test module and a thread execution module; the self-test module and the thread execution module are modules obtained by generalizing the relevant software of the centralized loading servo controller.

[0123] The self-test module is used to perform a self-test on the centralized loading servo controller based on a preset self-test strategy when the centralized loading servo controller starts up.

[0124] The thread execution module is used to execute various preset threads; these threads include, but are not limited to, configuration receiving threads, control threads, security protection threads, and real-time data uploading threads.

[0125] The self-test module is used to perform self-tests on various modules in the centralized load servo controller. The controller performs self-tests, and preferably, the self-test strategies include, but are not limited to, anomaly checks for the main control module, communication module, signal input module, signal output module, conditioning and amplification module, and interface. Different components have different check schemes, allowing for a comprehensive check of the centralized load servo controller. Anomaly checks are performed before the centralized load servo controller begins operation, promptly identifying any abnormalities and effectively preventing errors caused by using a faulty centralized load servo controller.

[0126] If the centralized loading servo controller provided in this application embodiment successfully completes the self-test, it illuminates the self-test success indicator light, performs initialization, and then the software continues to run subsequent tasks, i.e., executes the corresponding thread; if the self-test fails, it stops running the software, i.e., terminates.

[0127] In the centralized loading servo controller provided in this application embodiment, the configuration receiving thread mainly performs configuration information parsing and parameter localization, as well as enabling output. Related explanations include: configuration communication initialization, followed by reading communication (which can be understood as communicating with the host computer), then determining if configuration information exists. If so, the configuration information is parsed, and the parameters obtained from the parsed configuration information are written into local variables. Next, the output to the digital output module is enabled. Then, it is determined whether the process has ended. If not, the process returns to the reading communication step; otherwise, it ends. Furthermore, in the step of determining if data exists, if no data is found, the process returns to the reading communication process.

[0128] Furthermore, the configuration information mainly includes:

[0129] (1) Channel control methods: Control methods include open-loop, position control, static load control, dynamic load control, speed control, etc.;

[0130] (2) Sensor parameters: including position sensor and load sensor. The main parameters include: 1) sensitivity coefficient; 2) working stroke, including voltage value and engineering quantity.

[0131] (3) Control strategy parameters: Control strategy parameters include: 1) PID control parameters; 2) Redundancy control strategy parameters;

[0132] (4) Servo drive parameters: The parameters include: 1) maximum and minimum control signals; 2) zero bias; 3) polarity;

[0133] (5) Safety protection limits: 1) Ultimate load parameters; 2) Ultimate displacement parameters; 3) Following error limit parameters, etc.

[0134] (6) Instruction configuration information: including instruction source (local / reflected memory / BNC analog quantity), instruction type (constant value, waveform, load spectrum, etc.), instruction content (amplitude, offset, frequency, phase, square wave duty cycle, load spectrum array, etc.).

[0135] By executing the configuration receiving thread, the configuration information sent by the host computer can be parsed, and then the parameters in the centralized loading servo controller can be configured so that the centralized loading servo controller can provide services in the deployed application environment.

[0136] Working principle:

[0137] like Figures 1-2 As shown:

[0138] By setting up the enclosure 1 and the operating panel 2, each panel can be maintained by simply disassembling the operating panel 2 during use and maintenance. The control chip is used to control the operation of the above-mentioned electrical equipment, which is convenient for unified management. The ventilation vent 11 is used for self-heating.

[0139] The main control power button controls the on / off state of the CPU main control module, the main control restart button controls the restart state of the CPU main control module, the main control status indicator lights indicate the power-on status and hard disk read / write status of the main control module, respectively, the load self-test indicator light (red light) illuminates after the controller self-test is successful, indicating that the controller is ready, the load run indicator light illuminates after the load control starts running, and the load alarm indicator light illuminates after the load system protection is activated. The power module panel 23 includes a power module switch and status indicator lights. The power module switch supplies power to the internal modules, and the status indicator lights indicate the power supply status; they illuminate when the power module is turned on. The buzzer reset button 25 is used to sound the buzzer 36 after the load system protection is activated. The buzzer reset button 25 resets the buzzer 36, silencing the current alarm sound. The emergency stop button 24 is used for emergency stop in case of an emergency. Pressing the emergency stop button 24 illuminates the emergency stop button 24 indicator, indicating an emergency stop and unloading of the load system, returning the load to zero, and cutting off the enable of the load actuator. The cooling fan 21 automatically starts after the controller is powered by 220VAC, drawing air into the controller. The external control interface 33 includes an EtherCAT interface, a fiber optic reflector memory interface, an external emergency stop interface, and an auxiliary interface. The EtherCAT interface is used to set standards. The RJ45 connector is used for communication with external control systems. The fiber optic reflective memory interface is used to set the standard LC-LC signal and for cross-connection with external systems via fiber optic reflective memory. An external emergency stop interface is used for a handheld emergency stop mobile terminal; pressing the emergency stop button disconnects the power supply to the load control enable. The auxiliary interface controls the controller's auxiliary function hardware. Analog input / output interface 31 uses a BNC socket and is used to acquire external load command signals. Power supply interface 34 is a 220VAC power supply interface using a standard triangular power cable. A red indicator light remains illuminated when the rocker switch is pressed. The controller has over-voltage... Current protection is provided by a fuse installed inside the rocker switch, with a spare fuse also included. The system interface 35 includes a network port, a USB port, and a spare interface. The network port is a standard RJ45 for connecting to the host computer for data transmission and reception. The USB port is a standard USB 3.0 for connecting other hardware devices. The spare interface includes a spare network interface and a debug display interface. The buzzer 36 is used to sound continuously when certain faults are triggered. Pressing the buzzer reset button 25 on the front panel will silence the current sound of the buzzer 36. The external power supply interface 37 is used to power special servo drive systems, such as high-power servo valves used in hydraulic servo transmission systems.

[0140] The fan outlet 38 is used to control the cooling fan to blow air outwards, facilitating connection to different interfaces during use and improving the flexibility of device connection. Threaded holes are provided on both the top and bottom of the handle 27, and positioning bolts are installed inside the threaded holes. Longer positioning bolts can be selected to fix the side plate 26 to the mounting wall, while also preventing the handle 27 from touching the wall, thereby improving the stability of the device during placement. The centralized loading servo controller provided in this application highly integrates various modules, and the entire device is small in size, occupies little space, and is more convenient to carry and use.
