Real-time Ethernet

In real-time Ethernet technology, there are five main competitors: Ethernet PowerLink, PROFINET, SERCOS III, EtherCAT and Ethernet/IP.

The open source real-time communication technology Ethernet POWERLINK is the latest technology to solve the real-time data transmission in the field of industrial control and data acquisition on the standard Ethernet medium. It follows the ISO model. In a sense, POWERLINK is CANopen on Ethernet. The physical layer and data link layer use the Ethernet medium, while the application layer retains the original structure of the SDO and PDO object dictionary.

PROFINET is introduced by PROFIBUS International (PROFIBUS International, PI), which is a new generation of automation bus standard based on industrial Ethernet technology. According to its real-time ability, it can be divided into three communication methods: ProfiNet TCP/IP, ProfiNet RT (real-time 5-10ms response time), ProfiNet IRT (synchronous real-time response time less than 1ms).

SERCOS III was developed by the German Rexroth company. It is a real-time communication standard that is freely provided for digital drive interfaces. It uses industrial Ethernet as its transmission mechanism. It maintains compatibility with previous versions in terms of interface, message structure and synchronization. , And retains a collection of real-time motion and IO control description parameters.

Ethernet/IP is based on standard UDP/IP and TCP/IP protocols, developed by Rockwell Automation and ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association), and uses fixed Ethernet hardware and software to access, configure and control equipment Defines an application layer protocol. The traditional Ethernet protocol used by Ethernet/IP means that it can be transparently connected with all standard Ethernet equipment and can continue to develop with the development of the Ethernet technology platform.

EtherCAT was developed by the German Beckhoff company. It adopts a "data train" design method. It transmits and processes at the same time, and sends data packets to each slave node in a logical sequence, and then back to the master station. The master node generally uses a PC, and the LVDS-low voltage differential drive signal transmission mode is adopted between the controller chips of different slave nodes to achieve very high data exchange. It adopts IEEE1588 time synchronization mechanism to achieve precise synchronization of distributed clocks. It can process about 1000 switching values within 30μs, or about 200 16-bit analog quantities within 50μs. Its communication capability can enable the control and position of 100 servo axes. And the status data is updated within 100μs.

PLC Program for Mixing Tank

Create a ladder diagram for controlling a batch mixing process. Implement a PLC program for mixing tank or Mixing Process using PLC Ladder Logic. PLC Program for Mixing Tank Fig : Mixing tank A tank is used to mix two liquids. The required control circuit operates as follows: A. When the START button is pressed, solenoids A and B energize. This permits the two liquids to begin ﬁlling the tank. B. When the tank is ﬁlled, the ﬂoat switch trips. This de-energizes solenoids A and B and starts the motor used to mix the liquids together. C. The motor is permitted to run for 1 minute. After 1 minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C energizes to drain the tank. D. When the tank is empty, the ﬂoat switch de- energizes solenoid C. E. A STOP button can be used to stop the process at any point. F. If the motor becomes overloaded, the action of the entire circuit will stop. G. Once the circuit has been energized, it will continue to operate until it is manually stopped. Solution...

What is Relay? How it Works? Types, Applications, Testing

We use relays for a wide range of applications such as home automation, cars and bikes (automobiles), industrial applications, DIY Projects, test and measurement equipment, and many more. But what is Relay? How a Relay Works? What are the Applications of Relays? Let us explore more about relays in this guide. What is a Relay? A Relay is a simple electromechanical switch. While we use normal switches to close or open a circuit manually, a Relay is also a switch that connects or disconnects two circuits. But instead of a manual operation, a relay uses an electrical signal to control an electromagnet, which in turn connects or disconnects another circuit. Relays can be of different types like electromechanical, solid state. Electromechanical relays are frequently used. Let us see the internal parts of this relay before knowing about it working. Although many different types of relay were present, their working is same. Every electromechanical relay consists of an consists of an Elect...

Chlorine dioxide Analyzer Principle

Chlorine dioxide measurement Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an instable, non-storable, toxic gas with a characteristic scent. The molecule consists of one chlorine atom and two oxygen atoms – represented in the chemical formula ClO2. It is very reactive. To avoid the risk of spontaneous explosions of gaseous chlorine dioxide or concentrated solutions, it is generally handled in dilution with low concentrations. ClO2 is soluble in water, but tends to evaporate quickly. Typically it is prepared on site, for example from hydrochloric acid and sodium chlorite. The procedure provides solutions with approx. 2 g/l ClO2 that can be safely handled and stored for several days.
