Safety Protection for PLC Equipment: Important Measures to Prevent Accidents

Is your PLC equipment causing problems? Here are 3 tips to reduce the failure rate by 90% and save 500,000 in maintenance costs! First Layer: Power Protection – Give PLC an “Anti-Interference Vaccine” Indoor Fixed Equipment: Stability is Key ❗ Misconception 1: Grounding is done randomly, as long as it is grounded Step 1: Risk … Read more

PLC Equipment Fault Simulation: Methods for Practicing Response Plans in Advance

PLC total shutdown? This fault simulation plan reduces downtime by 80%! This step is like giving the PLC a “full check-up,” following the mnemonic “touch, look, smell, and listen”: Touch Temperature: The CPU’s normal temperature should not exceed 60℃. If it feels hot to the touch, quickly simulate a “CPU overheat fault” to see if … Read more

The Future of Edge Intelligence Triggered by AI Canes

Friends who often surf the internet must know that many cities’ public transportation systems have recently begun to gradually accept guide dogs. A widely circulated statistic is that as of 2017, there were only 116 guide dogs in the country, which is rarer than giant pandas, while the number of blind people needing guide dog … Read more
