Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data lines for pressure sensors are arranged externally of the solenoid valve manifold, then the pressure information can be transmitted to the PLC, but the wiring configuration becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the data lines, clock lines, and power source lines into a single integrated cable connection between the solenoid valve modules and the control module. This consolidation reduces the number of separate wiring connections and simplifies the overall wiring configuration while maintaining reliable data transmission from pressure sensors to the control system
Solution Approach 2:
The control module is designed to handle multiple functions through a single integrated connection: data transmission, clock signal distribution, and power supply. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate external wiring for each function, thereby simplifying the wiring configuration while ensuring reliable operation
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate wiring connections are used for data lines, clock lines, and power source lines, then each function can be independently connected, but the number of external data lines increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines data lines, clock lines, and power source lines into a single integrated cable connection. This merging maintains the independence of each function through separate signal paths within the unified connection, while significantly reducing the number of external data lines required
