Cross-Controller Mapping for Flexible Multi-Subsystem Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing control systems have poor operation flexibility due to the isolation of sub-control systems, limiting the ability of controllers to control actuators across different sub-systems.
Innovation Solution
A control method and system that enable cross-controller control of control point positions by determining the target control point position and transmitting instructions to the corresponding controller through a mapping relationship between control point positions and controllers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If controllers are isolated to control only actuators in their own sub-control system, then the control system structure is simple and stable, but the operation flexibility is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The controller is designed to perform multiple functions: it can control actuators within its own sub-control system and also control actuators in other sub-control systems through the mapping relationship mechanism. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by enabling cross-system control without requiring separate dedicated controllers for each actuator, thus improving flexibility while maintaining reasonable system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
A mapping relationship mechanism is introduced as an intermediary between controllers and actuators. This mapping relationship stores the correspondence between control point positions and controller identifiers, enabling controllers to locate and control actuators in other sub-control systems. The intermediary resolves the contradiction by providing a standardized interface for cross-system control without directly increasing controller hardware complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If controllers can control actuators across different sub-control systems, then the operation flexibility is improved, but the control system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mapping relationship between control point positions and controller identifiers is established in advance before actual control operations. By pre-configuring this mapping information, the system avoids the need for complex real-time discovery or negotiation mechanisms when controllers need to control remote actuators, thus reducing the operational complexity despite enabling cross-system control
Solution Approach 2:
The mapping relationship creates a virtual representation or copy of the control system topology in the controller's memory. Instead of requiring direct physical or logical connections between all controllers and all actuators, the mapping relationship provides a copied reference that simplifies the control path, reducing the complexity of inter-controller communication while maintaining cross-system control capability

AI summary
Provided are a control method, a control system, a control apparatus, an electronic device, a storage medium, and a program product, which relate to the control field and are used for solving a problem of a poor operation flexibility of the control system. The control system includes at least two sub-control systems. A controller in each sub-control system may perform communication. The method includes a first controller determining a target control point position and a first instruction to be executed at the target control point position; S102, determining an identifier of a second controller of a sub-control system to which the target control point position belongs according to the identifier of the target control point position and a mapping relationship between identifiers of the control point positions and identifiers of the controllers, transmitting the first instruction to the second controller according to the identifier of the second controller.
