Controller brands of die casting machines
Die casting machine PLC (programmable logic controller) plays a vital role in the metal die casting machine control system.
The PLC control system can realize the precise control of the die-casting machine, including but not limited to various process steps such as mold clamping, injection, cooling, mold opening, etc.
PLC system
Through the PLC system, two modes of single week operation and automatic continuous operation can be realized to meet different production needs.
PLC system design
The design of a PLC system usually consists of two parts: hardware and software.
In terms of hardware design, the PLC system will cooperate with the human-machine interface (HMI) to control various modules, such as solenoid valves, pneumatic valves, lubrication pump motors, etc., through RS-422 interfaces.
In addition, the PLC system is able to collect and process data through sensors, such as measuring parameters
Such as metal weight, pressure and flow, and make real-time adjustments based on this data, ensuring the stability and reliability of the die casting process.
Controller components
Central Processing Unit (CPU):
As the core of the PLC, it is responsible for receiving and storing user programs and data, collecting the status or data of the input device in the field.
Executing predetermined control algorithms, making decisions based on the input information and generating corresponding output signals.
Input module
Responsible for receiving signals from external sensors and devices, and transmitting this information to the central processing unit.
Common input signals include switching signals and analog signals, such as buttons, switches, sensors, etc.
Output module
Converts the output signal generated by the central processing unit into actual actions, such as starting a motor or controlling a valve.
Output modules are used in industrial environments to control brakes, valves, motors, etc. Power module: Provide working power for each module of PLC to ensure the normal operation of the whole system.
Memory
Used to store programs and data, it is an indispensable component of PLC.
I/O module
Connects the PLC with external equipment, determines the module specification and quantity through the I/O point.
The input unit connects to obtain the input signal and sends it to the memory, and the output unit drives external loads, such as indicator lights, electromagnetic contactors, etc.
HMI (Human Machine Interface) device
Used to display the operation interface and receive operation instructions, communicate with the PLC through RS-232 serial communication, and realize the monitoring and control of the system.
Encoder and stepper motor
The encoder is connected through the input pin of the PLC, and the stepper motor is connected through the output pin of the PLC.
The encoder provides an input signal to the PLC, and the stepper motor rotates according to the instructions of the PLC, thus controlling the number and direction of rotation of the injection valve.
