With the continuous development of industrial automation technology, the application of distributed I/O in the field of industrial automation is becoming increasingly widespread. As an advanced control technology, distributed I/O can achieve distributed control and monitoring of devices, improve production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and decrease failure rates.
In traditional industrial automation production, centralized control mode is often used for equipment control and monitoring. This mode has many drawbacks, such as complex equipment connections, slow data transmission speed, high failure rate, and poor scalability. However, distributed I/O uses distributed control methods to scientifically and reasonably distribute devices based on production processes, thereby achieving nearby control and monitoring of devices. This method of network cabling is very convenient and can be connected through the network, greatly reducing complex long-distance circuit wiring and effectively lowering the cost and difficulty of cabling. At the same time, it can be easily expanded to large-scale systems to meet complex industrial environments or continuously changing application requirements.
Kronz KA series distributed I/O module features:
1. Supports multiple communication buses: EtherCAT, Profinet.
2.I/O modules can be divided into digital input/output modules, analog input/output modules, and functional modules.
3. It can be matched according to the actual needs on site.
4. Up to 32 sub modules can be expanded, excluding power modules.
Case 1: Intelligent Warehouse System
Install sensors (such as photoelectric sensors) at various locations on the storage shelves, connect these sensors through distributed I/O modules, and place the distributed I/O modules in suitable positions near the shelves.The control signals and status feedback of equipment such as handling robots and stackers are also connected to the distributed I/O module.Real time collection of storage status of storage locations (whether there are goods) can be carried out, and the data can be quickly transmitted to the main controller (PLC, etc.) of the warehouse management system for inventory counting and location management.When robots and other devices are running, distributed IO modules can timely collect data on the operating status of the devices, such as motor current, speed, position, etc., to ensure safe and stable operation of the devices, and can promptly alarm in case of any faults.
Case 2: Intelligent Pharmaceutical Workshop
Install distributed I/O modules next to key process points on the pharmaceutical production line, such as mixing equipment, drying equipment, packaging equipment, etc.Connect monitoring devices such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, as well as control valves, motors, and other execution devices.Real time monitoring of production environment and equipment operating parameters to ensure that the drug production process complies with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) requirements, such as adjusting the air conditioning system in a timely manner when temperature and humidity exceed the range.For some key ingredient processes, precise control of the opening and timing of the feeding valve is achieved through distributed I/O modules to ensure the accuracy of the ingredients.
Kronz distributed I/O modules, with their excellent product features, provide reliable and flexible solutions for various industrial automation scenarios. The key role of distributed I/O in the field of industrial automation cannot be underestimated. It has demonstrated enormous value in improving production efficiency, reducing energy consumption and failure rates, and meeting diverse practical application needs.
