Detailed Description

The following describes in further detail the embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the invention is not limited to these embodiments, any substantial modifications or substitutions of the present examples, still falling within the scope of the invention as claimed in the claims.

As shown in fig. 1, the embodiment provides a control platform of an automation device, and the specific implementation manner is to integrate an I/O configuration module, a parameter configuration module, a process library module and an operation monitoring module into one control platform, so that an operator can complete complex operations such as I/O configuration, parameter setting, process action type setting, process action flow setting, recipe combination, recipe calling, recipe switching, operation monitoring and fault early warning of the automation device only through a human-computer interface interaction unit, thereby realizing one-stop configuration and management of the automation device control. The man-machine interface interaction unit of the control platform adopts clear classification and guiding operation modes, and a common technician can grasp the operation method of the control platform through simple training.

The I/O configuration module is responsible for configuring and managing input and output signals of the automation equipment and comprises a DI (digital quantity input) configuration unit, a DO (digital quantity output) configuration unit, an AI (analog quantity input) configuration unit, an AO (analog quantity output) configuration unit and a cylinder configuration unit. Each configuration unit is set to be in an independent window configuration form, a preset configuration list can be intuitively seen on a configuration page when entering the configuration window, and each input/output signal of the automation equipment is rapidly configured and managed on the preset configuration list.

The parameter configuration module is used for carrying out detailed configuration and management on the axis parameters and the variable parameters of the automation equipment and comprises an axis configuration unit, an axis group configuration unit, a DV (bit variable) configuration unit and a MV (word variable) configuration unit. Each configuration unit is set to be in an independent window configuration form, wherein the shaft configuration unit is used for configuring an enabling parameter, a shaft name parameter, a return mode parameter, a search speed parameter, a zero speed parameter and a speed, acceleration and deceleration related parameter, the shaft group configuration unit is used for configuring a shaft group name parameter, an X-shaft, a Y-shaft, a Z-shaft and speed, acceleration and deceleration related parameter, and the DV configuration unit and the MV configuration unit are used for configuring a variable name and a corresponding set value parameter.

The process library module is used for setting a process action flow of the automation equipment and combining the formula according to the process route, and comprises an action editing unit and a formula library unit. Wherein:

The action editing unit is mainly used for action editing and action modification in the process of setting the technological action flow. The unit can be used for writing the technological action flows related to the automation equipment into the control platform respectively. The writing process comprises the setting of the process action type, the setting of the positioning modes under different production process requirements and the setting of corresponding process parameters. The process action type is set to cover mechanical actions such as rotation, translation, lifting and the like, electric actions such as power-on, power-off, signal switching and the like, and logic actions such as condition judgment, cyclic execution and the like. The setting of the positioning mode provides a plurality of positioning modes such as independent positioning, multi-axis linear interpolation, circular arc interpolation, spiral interpolation and the like according to the requirements of different production processes on precision and shape. The corresponding technological parameter settings comprise shaft running speed setting, position parameter setting, signal frequency and pulse parameter setting, condition judging parameter setting, cycle executing parameter setting, interpolation parameter setting and the like. The writing process can also carry out test running verification aiming at each set action or the whole process action flow section, mainly verifies whether the action logic accords with the preset control effect, and the qualified process action flow section can be output as an independent Flash file, named and stored in an action editing unit program library. In addition, the action editing unit can also independently call out the independent Flash file stored in the program library, and carry out action flow modification again on the independent Flash file, and operations such as insertion, deletion, replacement and the like of the action modification supporting step.

The recipe library element is similar to a process "knowledge base". In automated production, different batches of products may require different production processes. According to the production process route requirements of different batches of products, the products enter a formula library unit, different independent Flash file combinations are purposefully called from a dynamic editing unit program library to form a formula, and the formula after combination is a complete process execution scheme which is named and stored in a file management library so as to be quickly called when needed. In actual production, when it is desired to switch from production of one product to production of another product, for example, from production of automobile part a to production of part B, an operator can quickly find a process recipe corresponding to part B in the recipe library unit and call. Because the called corresponding process formula is formed by combining independent process action flow messages with qualified action verification, once the corresponding formula is successfully called, the action flow can be quickly executed according to a new process route, and debugging operation on action logic and action flow is not needed.

The recipe library unit also supports flexible recipe modification operations, which can be modified and optimized for process recipes that are already stored in the recipe library, based on actual feedback during production. The specific operation method comprises the steps of entering a formula library unit to call out a formula to be modified, and modifying files in an existing formula file list according to the actual production process route requirement, such as deleting selected files or reinserting Flash files.

The operation monitoring module comprises a program monitoring unit and a shaft monitoring unit. Wherein:

The program monitoring unit presents the current running steps of each station of the automatic equipment on a human-computer interface in real time in a step list form, so that the production process can be known clearly at a glance, and abnormal conditions such as flow blocking and step errors can be found timely. In the control of an automatic automobile part processing production line, the current operation steps of all stations of the automobile part processing production line are displayed in a step list form on a man-machine interface. When a program error occurs in a certain processing station, an operator can rapidly locate the problem from the step list, and the problems of program logic error or improper parameter setting and the like can be purposefully checked.

The program monitoring unit can also monitor the process route period of the automation equipment and display the last period and the current period in real time. Firstly, through the comparison of the display time data of the last period and the current period, the operation efficiency of the equipment can be evaluated, for example, if the last period is 500ms and the current period is only 400ms, which indicates that the equipment is effectively optimized in the production process, the production efficiency is improved, secondly, in an automatic production line, the operation periods of different stations are generally different, the comparison analysis is carried out after the operation period time data of each station are monitored, if the period of a certain station is obviously longer than that of other stations, the station is possibly a key factor affecting the overall production efficiency, further optimization is needed, finally, the sudden change of the period data displayed by a program monitoring unit can also indicate equipment faults, for example, if the operation period of a certain station is suddenly increased from normal 300ms to 1000ms, the mechanical parts of the station are possibly blocked or an electrical system is possibly faulty, and technicians can timely check and maintain according to the change.

The shaft monitoring unit focuses on the movement core-shafting of the equipment, and monitors key associated parameters of the operation shaft in real time, including real-time position, real-time speed, real-time torque, shaft fault code, enabling state and 4 limit position monitoring (positive hard limit, negative hard limit, positive soft limit and negative soft limit) of the operation shaft. The real-time monitoring function of the shaft system is beneficial to a technician to judge whether the motion state of the equipment is normal or not, and can also provide accurate data basis for maintenance and fault investigation of the equipment, for example, whether the mechanical structure has a jamming or collision risk or not is judged by monitoring the abrupt change of the load of the shaft.

The embodiment also provides an automatic control system, which comprises a control platform of the automatic equipment and the automatic equipment to be controlled, wherein the automatic control platform is designed by a program framework on the bottom layer of a controller based on a PLC and is developed into a fixed self-programming control platform. On the basis, the automatic control platform and the automatic equipment are firmly connected, the connection comprises physical connection and communication connection, the physical connection comprises cable plug and interface adaptation, and the communication connection comprises protocol matching and parameter verification. The control of the automation equipment can be realized by operating the I/O configuration module, the parameter configuration module, the process library module, the operation monitoring module and other configuration modules in the man-machine interaction unit of the automation control platform.

When the automatic control system is applied to actual production or equipment debugging, copy sharing can be performed among different automatic equipment aiming at the process recipe stored in the control platform recipe library unit. In some advanced application scenarios, the control platform may have the ability to share recipes among different devices over a network. The production process recipe can be shared by the control platform between multiple production rooms or different factories in a large enterprise. For example, the research and development department of an enterprise develops a new and efficient production process that can be stored as a recipe and shared via a network to the automation equipment of the various production plants. The networked sharing and collaboration mode promotes technical communication and production collaboration inside enterprises, and contributes to the improvement of the overall production level.
