Working Principle

I. Basic Workflow

1. Input Signal Acquisition

• Digital Input (DI) channels receive status signals (high/low) from external sensors (e.g., limit switches, photoelectric sensors, temperature sensors).

• Analog Input (AI) channels convert continuous physical quantities (e.g., voltage, current, temperature) into digital signals.

2. Program Execution

• Processes input signals based on pre-programmed control logic (e.g., Ladder Diagram LD, Function Block Diagram FBD, or Structured Text ST).

• Executes programs via cyclic scanning, with each cycle comprising input sampling, program execution, and output refresh phases.

3. Output Control

• Sends control signals to actuators (e.g., relays, solenoids, contactors) via Digital Output (DO) channels.

• Analog Output (AO) channels provide continuous signals (e.g., 0–10V, 4–20mA) for controlling inverters, valves, etc.

II. Core Technical Mechanisms

1. Processor and Memory Architecture

• RAM: Stores runtime data (e.g., I/O states, intermediate variables).

• Flash: Stores user programs, system firmware, and configuration parameters (non-volatile).

• CPU: High-performance 32-bit processor (e.g., PowerPC or ARM), ≥200MHz, supporting real-time multitasking.

• Memory:

2. Communication and Data Exchange

• Industrial Ethernet: Modbus TCP, Profinet, EtherNet/IP for connecting to HMIs or other controllers.

• Fieldbus: Profibus DP, CANopen for distributed I/O devices.

• Serial Communication: RS-232/RS-485 for sensors, meters, or third-party devices.

• Internal Bus: Communicates with expansion I/O modules via backplane bus (e.g., ABB’s S800 I/O bus) for high-speed data transfer.

• External Protocols:

3. Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)

• Embedded RTOS ensures deterministic and real-time program execution (typically millisecond-level task scheduling).

• Manages multiple tasks via priority mechanisms to prioritize critical control logic.

4. Fault Diagnosis and Safety Mechanisms

• Self-Diagnosis: Monitors hardware status (e.g., power, CPU, communication links) and triggers alarms or safety measures on anomalies.

• Redundancy: Supports dual-CPU hot standby and redundant power supplies for enhanced reliability.

• Watchdog Timer: Prevents program runaway to ensure stable operation.

III. Typical Applications

• Logic Control: Sequential control (e.g., production line start/stop) and conditional judgment (e.g., Alarm for liquid level over-limit).
• Closed-Loop Control: PID-based regulation of continuous variables (e.g., temperature, pressure, motor speed).
• Motion Control: Coordinates multi-axis motion (e.g., robotic arm control, servo positioning).
• Data Processing and Monitoring: Collects field data for SCADA/HMI systems, enabling remote monitoring and reporting.
