Principles of PLC Control Cabinet Design: Wiring Layout, Connection Diagrams, and Schematics

Principles of PLC Control Cabinet Design: Wiring Layout, Connection Diagrams, and Schematics

1. Wiring according to the diagram is the highest principle. First, before wiring, one must carefully read the drawings and fully understand the designer’s intentions, rather than relying on personal so-called rich experience. If any unclear or contradictory points are found, one should immediately contact the designer for confirmation before proceeding with the wiring construction. … Read more

Research on Control Algorithms of PLC Event-Driven Programming in Building Automation Control

Research on Control Algorithms of PLC Event-Driven Programming in Building Automation Control

Yesterday, I received a request for help from a colleague who said that the intelligent building automation system he was responsible for was always “misbehaving”—the corridor lights would turn on and off unpredictably, and the conference room air conditioning was fluctuating between hot and cold. I immediately recognized that this was the fault of the … Read more

Embracing Innovation and Creating a Smart Future

Embracing Innovation and Creating a Smart Future

In the current revolutionary wave of artificial intelligence empowering various industries, robots are gradually becoming the “core workforce” of modern factories. The performance limits of robots are determined not by the mechanical arms or sensors, but by their “brains”—the controllers. The Xinchang Haihe Laboratory’s Unmanned Systems Research Center focuses on “autonomous control” and “high-reliability embodied … Read more

Comprehensive Collection of DCS and PLC Technical Knowledge is Here!

Hello everyone! I am a post-95 who cannot lower my head because the crown will fall off. Today’s content is the result of a “battle” between Pingping and me. The reason for this “battle” is whether the main focus of today’s technical collection should be DCS or PLC. Both are dear to my heart, but … Read more

Implementing Fixed-Point Programming for DSP PR Controllers

Implementing Fixed-Point Programming for DSP PR Controllers

Today, we continue our work on fixed-point programming, which is quite significant for using PR control, especially since floating-point microcontrollers are expensive. Previously, in floating-point development, we discussed the discretization and code implementation of the Proportional Resonant Controller (QPR). For fixed-point implementation: Considering quantization errors, we directly run the IIR2 function of the PR controller … Read more
