Domestic independent high-end PLC system development overview

In the past, from chips, operating systems to applications, the IT field has formed two ecosystems: Wintel (Windows+Intel) and AA (ARM+Androids). PLC based on the traditional instruction set completely closed structure in the industrial control market occupy the mainstream. Even domestically developed industrial control systems basically use imported chips. After three years of joint research and deep coordination, in November 2022, Shenzhen Hualong Xunda and Longson Zhongke successfully launched a completely independent high-speed high-end large and medium-sized industrial control system named JIC PLC, using LoongArch 100% self-developed instruction set and basic operating system, Longson 3A5000 chip, Its program execution scan time is less than 1ms, which is very suitable for high-speed and high production beat scenarios. This result was achieved thanks to Loongson opening up the underlying chip instruction set, while Hualong Schindler integrates it in a variety of industrial scenarios with high speed and dynamic response. In China, this kind of open instruction set action is simply impossible for Intel or ARM, which dominates the industry. And now with the trust and linkage of the chip, controller and user, the controller development is progressing very fast. The author has observed the JIC PLC installed in Yuxi Tobacco Factory in Yunnan Province through the Internet at home in Shanghai, and can remotely change the operating parameters of the servo motor.

The automation platform of Hualong Sunda integrates various industrial software systems (including control software, digital twins, identity analysis, etc.) for native integration, for example, at the bottom, the Loongson instruction set is integrated and assembled with the Hualong Sunda Industrial control system instruction set. Based on this, when the controller is compiled, it can realize native HMI and SCADA, and realize the undifferentiated interactive operation between each machine. According to their philosophy, industrial control is the core capability of the industrial Internet platform. The implementation of the industrial Internet platform is often time-consuming and laborious, and the difficulty lies in the integration of OT and IT, and how to analyze and process the data of the control system and other source data simultaneously. Chip-level instruction interaction is the foundation of the entire industrial Internet building. The new industrial automation platform can achieve platform-level compilation, and realize the true connection of every sensor, every station, and every equipment, production line, workshop, and factory. Through the platform, you can share data with ERP, MES, logistics, WMS and other entire information systems, and you can share data with machines. These can only be achieved with the full cooperation of Hualong Xunda and Loongxin, and become the full-stack connectivity of the control system through enterprise management and field equipment.

Shenzhen Torque Control Xinchen Technology Co., Ltd. is an innovative enterprise with more than ten years of PLC manufacturing experience. In recent years, edge intelligent programmable controllers, edge intelligent I/O, edge intelligent workstations, edge servers and edge intelligent software platforms have been launched around industrial edge computing and control, providing a complete set of solutions for intelligent manufacturing under the cloud-edge-end architecture. Including digital matrix work island groups, edge computing data centers, intelligent warehousing and logistics scheduling, edge computing analysis, etc., have been applied to chip manufacturing, energy-saving glass smart factories, welding, stamping, painting and final assembly workshops of new energy vehicles, as well as edge intelligent systems in electronic manufacturing, mechanical equipment and energy industries.

A complete solution for intelligent manufacturing is built from the following systems. Edge intelligent programmable controller is a new type of PLC that has appeared in recent years. It is convenient to deploy real-time control, network communication, real-time/non-real-time data processing, calculation and storage functions in the industrial field. Integrating these functions into one, it can not only meet the needs of industrial real-time control, but also provide intelligent edge services and work with the cloud. Meet the key needs of the manufacturing industry in terms of equipment interconnection, real-time data processing and business analysis, and equipment safety operation and maintenance, assist the manufacturing industry to break through the bottleneck of digitalization and networking, and help the digital transformation and upgrading of the industry. Edge Intelligent I/O is a real-time industrial Ethernet I/O system with up to 100μs response time, modular design and high density integration for flexible configuration. Digital matrix working island group is an intelligent edge computing workstation, which integrates logic control, motion control, machine vision, robot control, data processing and transmission functions. As an intelligent manufacturing unit, the edge intelligent workstation is mainly used for operation analysis and predictive maintenance, facilitating applications such as intelligent control of high-end equipment, equipment health management, and human-machine interaction at the production line level. The edge intelligent server is pre-installed with the Matrix Factory edge computing system, which can be quickly deployed in the edge intelligent data center of the industrial site; Can adapt to the harsh industrial environment, to meet the workshop level of massive real-time data collection and analysis, storage, analysis, modeling and other needs; IT can provide customers with modular, personalized, and scalable IT/OT integration software and hardware platforms. Edge intelligence software platform is a special software platform for on-site data management of Factory equipment developed by our company — Matrix Factory edge intelligence software platform, which is suitable for edge layer application in industrial sites, including the core basic functions of industrial Internet of things out of the box. With multi-source real-time data access, multidimensional data presentation, equipment simulation and debugging, data management optimization. The above various systems and components constitute a real-time data-driven smart factory architecture, which provides convenience for the interoperability between OT and IT to a large extent, and provides a unified and standardized data interface for the working island group OT at the edge layer and the IT management at the information layer. Before the massive data is transmitted to the information layer, the data has been cleaned, compressed, formatted, labeled, encrypted and other processing in the deployed edge computing control system, so that the massive production and operation data can be easily integrated with other systems in the same edge layer.
