A plug and play module assembly system that includes a code transmission module capable of transmitting PnP codes to PnP modules, allowing for easy assembly and operation by receiving module and assembly information from connected modules, and providing a PnP code to drive the PnP modules, enabling users to create and utilize multi-purpose module assemblies without errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If module assembly systems require specialized knowledge for assembly and operation, then functional reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-identification and self-configuration through automatic module detection and PnP code transmission. When modules are connected, the code transmission module automatically detects the PnP module, retrieves its identification information, transmits the appropriate PnP code, and configures the system without requiring user intervention or specialized knowledge.
Solution Approach 2:
PnP codes are pre-prepared and stored in the code transmission module for different types of modules. The system performs preliminary configuration work by having all necessary driving codes and identification information ready in advance, so that when modules are connected, the appropriate code is already available for immediate transmission and execution.
2Manufacturing precision
If module assembly systems are designed for specialized users, then operational precision is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The code transmission module serves multiple functions: it acts as a detection unit to identify connected modules, a storage unit to hold PnP codes for various module types, a transmission unit to send codes to modules, and a control unit to manage the overall assembly system. This multi-functionality allows the system to adapt to different module configurations while maintaining precise control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements automatic feedback through module detection and identification. When a PnP module is connected, the code transmission module detects the module's identification information, uses this feedback to determine the appropriate PnP code, and automatically transmits the correct code without requiring user judgment or specialized knowledge.
3Ease of operation
If automatic module detection and code transmission is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection unit, storage unit, transmission unit, and control unit are merged into a single code transmission module. This integration consolidates multiple functions into one component, reducing the overall system complexity while maintaining the automatic detection and code transmission capabilities that improve ease of operation.
