The English full name of PLC is: Programmable Logic Controller, a digital operational electronic system specifically designed for industrial environment applications. It uses a type of programmable memory for its internal storage of programs, executing 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 the core component of industrial control. PLC controllers mainly refer to the programmable logic controllers of digital operational electronic systems used to control the production processes of machinery. It is also an abbreviation for Public Limited Company, Power Line Carrier, etc. Major current brands of PLC include: South Korea's LG, USA's AB, ABB, Panasonic, Siemens, Mitsubishi,
Omron, Delta, Fuji, Schneider, Xinjie, etc. Among them, LG PLC is a transistor-output PLC provided by the LS Electric division of South Korea's LG Group, and Shenzhen Hongyiwei Automation Technology Co., Ltd. is its general agent in the Guangdong region. The basic structure of PLC: PLC is essentially a computer for industrial control, and its hardware structure is basically the same as that of a microcomputer. The basic components are: a. Power supply: The power supply of the PLC plays a very important role in the entire system. Without a good and reliable power supply system, it cannot work properly. Therefore, PLC manufacturers also pay great attention to the design and manufacturing of the power supply. Generally, if the AC voltage fluctuation is within the range of 10% to 15%, the PLC can be directly connected to the AC power grid without taking other measures. b. Processing unit (CPU): The processing unit (CPU) is the control center of the PLC. It receives and stores user programs and data input from the programmer according to the functions assigned by the PLC system program; checks the status of the power supply, memory, I/O, and watchdog timer, and can diagnose syntax errors in the user program. When the PLC is put into operation, it first scans and receives the status and data of each input device on site, storing them in the I/O image area. Then, it reads the user program from the user program memory one by one, interprets the commands, and executes logical or arithmetic operations according to the instructions, sending the results to the I/O image area or data registers. After all user programs are executed, the status of each output in the I/O image area or the data in the output registers is transmitted to the corresponding output devices. This cycle continues until operation is stopped. To further improve the reliability of the PLC, in recent years, large-scale PLCs also use dual CPUs to form a redundant system or a triple CPU voting system. This way, even if one CPU fails, the entire system can still operate normally. c. Memory: The memory that stores system software is called the system program memory. The memory that stores application software is called the user program memory. d. Input/output interface circuits: 1. The field input interface circuit consists of an optocoupler circuit and the input interface circuit of the microcomputer. Its function is to serve as the input channel for the interface between the PLC and field control. 2. The field output interface circuit is integrated with output data registers, strobe circuits, and interrupt request circuits. Its function is to output corresponding control signals to the field execution components through the field output interface circuit. e. Functional modules: such as counting and other functional modules. f. Communication modules: such as Ethernet, RS485, Profibus-DP communication modules, etc.
