1 Universal serial port module
Based on the serial port communication module to realize network connection, the network structure is shown in Figure 1, adopts the form of computer link, carries out the corresponding setting in the configuration software of the host computer, does not need programming, can communicate with a plurality of PLCs, take the PLC of Mitsubishi company's FXlS series as an example, RS232C/485 conversion adapter selects FX-485PC-IF, RS-485 communication board selects FXlN-485-BD can be realized, this method is more convenient to use, and the performance is also very good, The key is that the cost of serial communication modules is relatively high.
2 Based on a dedicated bus
At present, PLC manufacturers such as OMRON, Siemens, etc., have provided a dedicated network system for their PLC products, such as OMRON company's ControllerLink network, DeviceNet network, etc., this network system due to the exclusivity of the manufacturer's products, the equipment of different manufacturers can not be interconnected, basically select a manufacturer's PLC, and other supporting equipment must also be the manufacturer's, the cost is relatively high, so there are certain limitations in the application.
3 Based on standard Industrial Ethernet
Based on the standard industrial Ethernet mode for networking, the system is generally divided into three levels: the first layer is the upper computer monitoring station composed of industrial computers; The second layer is industrial Ethernet, which consists of hubs, twisted pairs, transceivers, etc.; The third layer is the control station, which selects TCP/IP as the communication protocol, and adopts the C/S mode to enable the control station and the monitoring station to achieve connection-oriented communication.
The biggest advantage of using this way of networking is that the existing factory LAN can be used, the comprehensive utilization rate is improved, and the speed is fast, and the Ethernet communication rate can reach 100Mbps; If optical fiber transmission is adopted, the anti-interference ability is greatly enhanced, and the transmission distance can reach tens of kilometers, however, Ethernet can not communicate directly with serial port equipment such as PLC, and needs to be equipped with related equipment to achieve communication, and the cost of use is increased. It is rare to find small and medium-sized control systems in general.
