5G is one of the key technologies in the new round of technological and industrial revolution, and an important engine to promote high-quality economic development and empower the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. Industrial 5G must not only adapt to various models in industrial scenarios, but also adapt to the harsh environment of industrial sites, and adapt to the performance indicators and security operation and maintenance system of industrial scenarios.
5G technology advantages
Industrial 5G adapts to more flexible production and communication methods; Achieve dynamic and fast production planning sequencing and eliminate idle time; It is connected to the Internet, which is convenient for the transparent management of the supply chain and the global interoperability of logistics inside and outside the factory.
Phoenix Contact and a number of companies in the telecommunications and manufacturing industries jointly initiated the establishment of the "5G Industrial Interconnection and Automation Alliance" (5G-ACIA), actively participating in the promotion of industrial 5G, and has accumulated rich experience in industrial application scenarios such as equipment monitoring, remote operation and maintenance, remote commissioning, driving control, and AGV scheduling.
EMS self-propelled trolley
Factory automation connects various process scenarios through a variety of conveying equipment, such as AGV and EMS. AGV refers to a transport vehicle equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic navigation devices, which can drive along the specified navigation path, and has safety protection and various transfer functions.
EMS self-propelled trolley is an intelligent conveying equipment suitable for flexible automatic production, with the characteristics of stable operation, intelligent control, flexible spatial layout, low noise, no pollution, etc., mainly composed of suspension, running track, power supply system, load trolley, turnout, non-standard customized spreader and electrical control system. The modular design of the system is convenient for flexible expansion, and each group of trolleys has independent drive, frequency conversion speed regulation, precise positioning and data communication functions, and has the functions of lifting, rotating, flipping and grabbing.
Conveying technology has been developed for more than 10 years,
Some challenges have also plagued our users.
Take the EMS car as an example: the loss of carbon brushes in the wired transmission trolley line is serious, and the switch to WIFI faces high latency, electromagnetic and dust, obstacle interference and other technical limitations, so at the same time, high operation and maintenance costs are also a problem.
We are now talking about lean, talking about how fast and good to save,
Is it just about device management?
Generally speaking, customers hope to build a data middle platform to realize the unified scheduling and management of multiple devices, and at the same time, they must stand at a new height, make full use of resources, do a good job in employee management, and promote human-machine collaboration, so that digital transformation can truly land!
The emergence of industrial 5G just makes up for these shortcomings, and 5G technology can solve most of the remaining problems of WIFI. Compared with WIFI, industrial 5G can achieve plant-wide coverage, and large bandwidth and high number of connections can provide more and more application scenarios for transportation equipment.
Industrial 5G is not only data acquisition, but also to achieve real-time communication at the field level, 5G and PN connection, equipment communication with the upper system through 5G, industrial 5G can also transmit Profisafe, providing security guarantees. On the other hand, industrial 5G helps the precise positioning of production elements and the positioning of equipment and personnel, providing new support for process optimization and improving the rationality of production line layout. It directly improves the production line capacity, reduces the shutdown and shutdown caused by communication interruption, indirectly reduces operating costs, reduces personnel maintenance costs, and saves production resources.
Aiming at the needs of Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing, Phoenix Contact's PLCnext control platform has an advanced architecture, rich components, and more flexible high-level language programming, combining the characteristics of traditional controllers and intelligent devices, and realizing the true integration of IT and OT at the control level.
NEW CONTROL CABINET SOLUTION 500*500*300 (MM)
IN 2022, PHOENIX CONTACT WILL INTRODUCE A NEW CONTROL CABINET SOLUTION WITH A SIZE OF 500*500*300 (MM) TO THE CONVEYOR MARKET, WHICH INTEGRATES CORE COMPONENTS SUCH AS INDUSTRIAL 5G ROUTERS, CONTROLLERS, CONTACTORS, DRIVES, SCANNERS, ETC., AND IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH MULTIPLE AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS SUCH AS POWER INDICATION, STATUS INDICATION, FAULT INDICATION, AND MAINTENANCE SWITCHES.
The scheme can realize a variety of functions such as stepless speed regulation, rapid response to upgrades, accurate positioning through barcodes, real-time monitoring of status, direct feedback to the dispatching controller, etc., and the status of the trolley is more intuitive through digital display code + pillar lamp, and the control cabinet adopts PN communication, one network to the end. In terms of network architecture, the base station adopts the public network private network sharing mode or the fully dedicated mode, and the industrial 5G routers from Phoenix Contact have the function of status monitoring firewall and support VPN remote communication.
The hardware includes the AXC F 2152 PLCnext controller, IO and 5G routers, as well as tailor-made scheduling and control software, as well as third-party products such as drivers, scanning, and barcodes.
THE SOFTWARE PART HAS EVERYTHING FROM THE CAR INFORMATION, VEHICLE INFORMATION AND SENSOR INFORMATION ON THE HOME PAGE TO THE DISPLAY MODE, DEVICE STATUS, CLIENT INFORMATION, INTERFACE INFORMATION, AND THE MOBILE PHONE AND IPAD CAN VIEW THE STATUS OF THE CAR IN REAL TIME.
In addition to the control cabinet, the manufacturer also provides users with drawings, BOM lists, sample programs and sample tops, which is convenient for users to establish their own standards, and also provides interfaces for later maintenance and expansion.
The implementation of the IOT is accelerated by industrial 5G, which is made possible by data acquisition, data transmission, data analysis, and utilization.
Application scenarios
In terms of application scenarios, this control cabinet solution can be applied to the side wall transfer line of the car factory, the painting pre-treatment line, the final assembly chassis, the door and interior line, the transfer line of the logistics workshop, and the mixing and sorting line.
Compared with the traditional transportation technology, the output value per unit time has increased by 10%, and it will be further improved with the increase of use time, which is conducive to lean production, partially solves the bottleneck of wireless technology, and realizes the true integration of IOT.
