In the field of scientific research, the stability and intelligence of experimental equipment directly affect research efficiency and the quality of results. As a leading research institution in China, the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has high demands for the automation control and operational stability of experimental equipment. Kangzhuo Technology, with its profound technical accumulation and rich project experience in the field of electrical automation, successfully developed an intelligent PLC control cabinet system for the institute, effectively enhancing the operational efficiency and safety of experimental equipment.
Project Background
The laboratories at the Institute of Chemistry involve various precision instruments and complex process flows. Traditional control methods face issues such as cumbersome operations, slow response times, and difficulties in troubleshooting. To address these pain points, the institute decided to introduce an intelligent PLC control cabinet system to achieve centralized control, real-time monitoring, and automated management of experimental equipment. Kangzhuo Technology, with its expertise in PLC control cabinets, became the core supplier for this project.
Project Solution
1. Customized Design
The Kangzhuo Technology team conducted in-depth research in the institute’s laboratories, thoroughly understanding equipment layout, control requirements, and process flows, to tailor a set of intelligent PLC control cabinet systems. This system features a modular design, supporting multiple cabinet combinations, and can flexibly adapt to different scales of experimental environments. The control cabinet has an IP65 protection rating, effectively resisting corrosive gases and dust in the laboratory environment.
2. Intelligent Control Core
The system is equipped with a high-performance Siemens PLC controller, which has powerful data processing capabilities and expandability. Through industrial Ethernet and Modbus TCP protocols, it achieves seamless integration with laboratory equipment, supporting remote monitoring and debugging. Additionally, the system is equipped with a touchscreen human-machine interface, allowing operators to intuitively view equipment status and adjust parameters, enhancing operational convenience.
3. Efficient Heat Dissipation and Insect Prevention Design
To address the heat generated by long-term operation of laboratory equipment, Kangzhuo Technology designed an air-cooled heat dissipation system at the top of the control cabinet, equipped with intake and exhaust fans, combined with a dust-proof net design to ensure air circulation within the cabinet.
4. Safety Protection Features
The system includes overload, short-circuit, and phase loss protection features, monitoring voltage, current, and other parameters in real-time to ensure safe operation of the equipment. Additionally, the cabinet is equipped with an emergency stop button and an audible and visual alarm device, which can immediately cut off power and issue an alarm in case of abnormalities, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.
Project Implementation
1. Installation and Debugging
The engineering team from Kangzhuo Technology conducted detailed installation and debugging work on-site. By optimizing wiring and grounding designs, they ensured the system’s anti-interference capability; through functional testing and simulated operation, they verified the system’s stability and reliability. Ultimately, the system successfully passed acceptance testing and was officially put into use.
2. Training and Support
To ensure that the institute’s operators are proficient in using the system, Kangzhuo Technology provided professional training services covering system operation, troubleshooting, and daily maintenance. Additionally, the company established a 24-hour customer service hotline to provide full-process technical support before, during, and after sales.
Project Results
1. Improved Experimental Efficiency
The intelligent PLC control cabinet system achieved automated control and centralized management of experimental equipment, allowing operators to start devices with a single touch on the screen, reducing manual intervention and enhancing experimental efficiency. Meanwhile, the system monitors equipment status in real-time, providing early warnings for potential failures to avoid unplanned downtime.
2. Reduced Operation and Maintenance Costs
The system features a self-diagnosis function that can quickly locate problem points, reducing troubleshooting time. Furthermore, the modular design facilitates equipment maintenance and upgrades, lowering subsequent operation and maintenance costs.
3. Ensured Research Safety
With multiple safety protection features, the system effectively reduces the risk of equipment failure, ensuring the safety of laboratory personnel and equipment, providing a solid guarantee for the smooth progress of scientific research.
