The following is an introduction to the common components in the PLC power distribution cabinet: Circuit breaker Function: Mainly used to protect the circuit. When a short circuit, overload or leakage occurs in the circuit, causing the current to exceed the rated current, the circuit breaker will automatically cut off the circuit to protect the […]

Motor failure Failure phenomenon: The motor cannot start, the motor overheats, and there is abnormal vibration or noise when the motor is running. Failure to start may be due to power supply problems, driver failure or motor failure; motor overheating may be due to excessive load, poor heat dissipation or motor winding short circuit; abnormal

Analyze control requirements Determine the type of control task If it is a simple logic control and sequential control, such as the selection of goods, payment change and shipping process of a vending machine, or the start-stop sequence control of equipment in a factory production line, then PLC control is mainly considered. PLC can easily

Safety Risk of faulty operation: If the normally closed point is used for access, when the line connected to the emergency stop button is broken or loose, the PLC will receive a signal loss, that is, it will mistakenly think that the emergency stop button is pressed. This may cause the equipment to stop suddenly

Sensor signal Proximity sensor: used to detect the approach of metal objects. In an automated production line, proximity sensors can be installed on both sides of the conveyor belt. When metal parts pass by, the sensor will send a signal to the PLC. For example, in an automotive parts processing workshop, proximity sensors can detect

Understanding from the perspective of signal state detection In the digital input circuit of the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), under normal circumstances, when the emergency stop button is not pressed, the input point has a signal (high level or 1 state). When the emergency stop button is connected to a normally open point, during normal

Control principle PLC control: PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is an electronic system for digital computing operations. It uses programmable memory to store programs internally, executes user-oriented instructions such as logic operations, sequential control, timing, counting and arithmetic operations, and controls various types of machinery or production processes through digital or analog input/output. It is mainly

Scenarios more suitable for PLC control Automated production lines dominated by sequential control For example, in automobile assembly production lines, cars go through multiple stations such as frame installation, engine installation, and interior installation in sequence. PLC can well control the start and stop sequence of equipment at each station to ensure that the car

Automated control of automobile manufacturing production line Application scenario description In the automobile manufacturing process, the body welding production line is a complex automated system. Numerous welding robots, conveying devices and fixtures need to work together to complete the welding tasks of various parts of the body. PLC control method PLC is responsible for the

Problems with insufficient control functions Start and stop problems Unable to start normally: If the control function cannot meet the power requirements, when starting a high-power load (such as a large motor), it may not provide enough starting current, resulting in the motor being unable to start. For example, if a high-power motor is started
