What is industrial control equipment? What are the industrial control equipment
Industrial control equipment conceptually, industrial control means industrial control, mainly using electronic, electrical, machinery, software combination to achieve. Industrial control is industrial control
Industrial control contains two major aspects of significance: industrial representative industrial control is mostly applied in industry rather than the general family, and control represents the role of industrial control in industry – to control the equipment, so that the machine becomes automatic, reduce manual operation.
As we all know, machines cannot talk and have no consciousness. If we work with a silent and unthinking partner for a long time, we will certainly have a quarrel every day. And industrial control technology can act as a “translation” between people and machines, machines and machines, so that we can let the machine “go to work” on time (timing control), to do some very fine work (precision control), once an accident, the machine will automatically deal with different situations (program selection).
Automation is the purpose of industrial control, let the machine become “smart” a little, like the invention of the rice cooker, before we use the pressure cooker cooking, pressure cooker is very “stupid”, it will not fire cooking, also do not know when you add more or less water, will not control the temperature to how much to cook delicious – point, not to put out the fire when the water is dried.
The rice cooker is different. It has a pair of “eyes” compared to the pressure cooker: various types of sensors can sense the temperature and humidity in the rice cooker and other conditions.
An extra “brain” : microprocessors such as SCM and ARM, which process the information that the eyes (sensors) “see” and then issue commands on what to do. For example, sensing that the temperature of the rice cooker exceeds 103 degrees, it will issue a power cut command to prevent the rice from drying out.
The brain of industrial control: the processor
More than a pair of “hands” : electronic switches and other controllers, can put the brain (microprocessor) command execution. When the command “power off” is received, the electronic switch is disconnected and the cooker stops heating.
Therefore, industrial control technology makes industrial machines like rice cookers safer, more convenient and more efficient. I know what industrial control is, but what does it have to do with me?
As Xiaobian said before, industrial control technology is mostly used in industry, and many people are not working in factories, not engaged in technical work, industrial control technology with an insurance salesman or a warehouse porter is basically irrelevant?
In fact, in the 1940s and 1950s, the development of industrial control technology promoted the third Industrial Revolution, giving birth to many new technologies and products affecting everyone: computers, the Internet, airplanes and so on. A few decades ago, would people have thought that today we can not live without computers and the Internet?
In today’s advanced technology, industrial control technology is moving towards a new goal: Industry 4.0.
What is Industry 4.0? Let’s take the rice cooker as an example. Rice cookers can heat up on time and power off automatically, but we want them to be more “like a person” : The rice cooker of the future will detect our body data, analyze it, and cook the rice that’s best for our stomachs. It can also “communicate” with other appliances. When the induction cooker starts cooking soup, the rice cooker also starts cooking rice. It can even tell by the look on your face and the tone of your voice whether you like what you’ve cooked one time, and improve on it the next time.
Therefore, Industry 4.0 is an era of “the Internet of everything”, where everything is connected. In industry, robots will take the place of workers to do the work, resulting in “unmanned factories” and “black light factories” : there is no single worker in the factory, all the work is done by robots, and in case of failure, the robots can maintain and repair themselves.
Robots are the workhorses of factories
