The application of ROCKWELL system in robot car welding line

introduction

Fieldbus technology has adapted to the direction of decentralized, networked, and intelligent development of industrial control systems. Once it has emerged, it has become a hotspot in global industrial automation technology and has received widespread attention worldwide.

Rockwell Automation has been producing PLCs based on devicenet fieldbus since 1971, which are used for automotive production line control. With the development of the company, Rockwell has made remarkable achievements in the fields of factory automation control, microprocessor, radio, space shuttle, advanced communication system and global positioning system. Rockwell Automation provides users with a full range of industrial network solutions from the control of workshop-level equipment to enterprise-level production control and information management-enterprise information systems based on network integrated automation. Today, Rockwell Automation is committed to expanding the scale of cip-based automation control products. cip is a three-layer network device network, control network, and ethernet / ip network shared application layer, which can help achieve common control, configuration, data collection and sharing on a series of devices. It can also bring huge benefits to automation users: reduce costs, increase ease of use, make product and network integration easier, and at the same time support the interoperability of equipment provided by multiple vendors, providing the convenience of device connection .

ethernet / ip industrial Ethernet

ethernet / ip was jointly launched by two important international organizations odva and controlnet internaTIonal in 2000. It is a true standard industrial Ethernet using tcp / ip protocol. Once launched, it has been supported by nearly 100 suppliers worldwide. At present, there are hundreds of ethernet / ip products for users to choose from, including process controllers, plc, i / o, frequency converters, soft starters, visual products, barcode scanning equipment, weighing equipment, power intelligent monitoring units, and processes The bus ff links equipment, switches, etc., and is widely used in various industries such as automobiles, food and beverage, power, chemical, water treatment, mining, metallurgy, building materials, and tires.

The controlnet network controlnet controlnet is based on the modified canbus technology and can be used as a communication logic control and process control system with a transmission rate of 5mbps. The control network is a high-speed deterministic network used for information transmission in time-critical applications. It provides real-time control and message delivery services for peer-to-peer communications. It acts as a high-speed communication link between the controller and the i / o device, integrating the capabilities of various existing networks. The control network is the most modern open network. It provides the following functions: i / o, real-time interlock, peer-to-peer communication message transmission and programming operations on the same link all have the same bandwidth. Both discrete and continuous process control applications have deterministic and repeatable functions.

Device network field bus devicenet devicenet is based on canbus technology, used for communication network between PLC and field devices. It can be connected to switches, dragging devices, solid-state overload protection devices, bar code readers, i / o and human-machine interfaces, etc., with a transmission rate of 125-500kbps. The device network connects the bottom-level devices directly to the workshop-level controller through an open network, without connecting them to the i / o module through hard wires. More than 150 sellers worldwide actively support the open equipment network sellers association (odva) network based on can technology. This 64-node, multi-branch network allows one cable to connect devices within 500m and as far as the user's programmable controller, eliminating the need to connect each device to an i / o rack with wires. In short, all of this can reduce the cost of wires and facilitate installation.

Control scheme introduction

Chery's automotive welding line system uses the guardlogix safety controller system as the main controller, which combines the high performance and flexibility of the control logix platform, integrates the highest level of safety control features (safety integration level 3), and the programming method is simple flexible. The spot welding robot uses the German kuka company kr200 series universal robot to install the power frequency spot welding gun to achieve the spot welding fusion of the body parts. The robot realizes the master / slave communication method of the devicenet interface through the pci interface card. The distributed i / o system uses 1734 point io , 1732 armor block i / o realizes the input and output control of the equipment signal, the safety circuit uses the devicenet safety bus and the safety io module to realize the input and output control of the safety signal, and the power transmission motor uses the power flex (40, 70, 80) series inverter Through bus control, the connection is simple and errors are reduced. The production safety zone control uses safety equipment such as safety gratings, safety radar scanners, safety blankets, safety door switches, etc. to achieve protection of on-site operators. Pneumatic components such as cylinders, positioning pins, locking mechanisms, etc. use valve terminals to achieve integrated control, and the protection level reaches ip65. The man-machine interface uses the panel view touch screen to realize the display of equipment status, fault alarms, and robot status information in the control area, and the realization of manual operation functions of mechanical equipment.
