Working principle
The ABB 3HAC6428-1/04 high-performance control module, as the core unit of the industrial control system, has a workflow that revolves around instruction reception, data processing, control operations, execution driving, and state feedback. The specific steps are as follows:
Instruction reception and data acquisition: The module receives control instructions (such as motion trajectory parameters and process parameters) issued by the upper computer (such as MES system, robot teaching pendant) through Gigabit Ethernet port, CAN interface, etc. At the same time, it collects feedback signals of servo motor position and speed through encoder interface, and collects status signals of sensors (such as limit switches and pressure sensors) through digital I/O interface. All data is transmitted in real-time to the internal data buffer area.
Data processing and computation: The main processor (dual core CPU) synchronously processes the collected instructions and feedback data. On the one hand, it parses control instructions and generates motion control target parameters (such as target position and target speed); On the other hand, by comparing the feedback data of the motor with the target parameters, the deviation value is calculated. If the deviation exceeds the threshold, the PID control algorithm is triggered for deviation correction. For multi axis control scenarios, the processor generates interpolation points for coordinated motion of each axis through trajectory planning algorithms to ensure multi axis synchronization accuracy (synchronization error<0.01mm).
Control signal output and execution drive: The processed control signals (such as PWM drive signals and direction control signals) are amplified by the internal drive circuit of the module and transmitted to the servo driver to drive the servo motor to move according to the planned trajectory; At the same time, the module controls the actions of actuators (such as solenoid valves and contactors) through digital output interfaces, achieving collaborative control of process operations (such as welding and clamping). For the EtherCAT/Profinet IRT protocol, the module transmits control signals to the slave devices with microsecond level delay through real-time Ethernet, ensuring the real-time linkage of multiple devices.
Status feedback and fault monitoring: The module collects real-time operational status data of servo motors and actuators (such as motor current, temperature, and actuator action completion signals), and sends it back to the upper computer through a communication interface for monitoring by operators; At the same time, the internal diagnostic circuit continuously monitors the status of the module itself (such as CPU temperature, power supply voltage, communication link). If abnormalities are detected (such as motor overcurrent, communication interruption), protection actions are immediately triggered (such as stopping motor operation, cutting off output signals), and fault codes are generated. The system is alerted through LED indicator lights (such as flashing red fault lights) and software interface alarms to ensure system safety.
Redundancy guarantee mechanism: If the main communication link (such as the main Ethernet) fails, the module will automatically switch to the backup communication link, with a switching time of less than 10ms, to ensure uninterrupted transmission of control instructions and feedback data; At the power supply level, if the input voltage exceeds the range of 24VDC ± 10%, the overvoltage protection circuit will trigger and cut off the power input to prevent damage to internal components of the module.
