Core technology and functional advantages

AI-01 relies on Yaskawa's mature industrial control technology and has significant advantages in signal processing, system integration, and convenient operation and maintenance

1. High precision signal processing technology

By adopting advanced differential signal acquisition and filtering technology, common mode interference and series mode interference can be effectively suppressed, and even in industrial sites with multiple interferences (such as motor start stop, electromagnetic welding, etc.), the accuracy of signal acquisition can still be guaranteed. The 16 bit resolution ensures that subtle changes in signal acquisition can be accurately captured. For example, in the temperature control scenario of injection molding machines, high-precision temperature acquisition in the range of 30 ℃ -500 ℃ can be achieved, with temperature deviation controlled within ± 0.5 ℃, providing a reliable data foundation for PID regulation.

2. Flexible system integration capability

Specially designed for the Yaskawa MP2000 series machine controller, supports seamless mounting, and the maximum number of mounts can be flexibly configured according to the controller CPU version (please refer to the controller manual for details); Supports multiple industrial communication protocols and can be easily integrated into high-speed field network systems such as MECHATROLINK, enabling data exchange with servo drives, upper computers, and central servers. At the same time, it has rich interface resources and can directly interface with signal monitoring of 32 input points and 32 output points. It is compatible with peripheral devices such as timers and counters, reducing the difficulty of system integration.

3. Intelligent operation and configuration functions

Support parameter configuration through supporting software (such as MPE720 programming software), and flexibly set input mode, offset/gain and other parameters to adapt to the signal output characteristics of different sensors; Equipped with self diagnostic function, it can monitor the real-time operation status of the module, intelligently detect faults such as signal disconnection and power supply abnormalities, and generate detailed alarm history records, making it convenient for operation and maintenance personnel to quickly locate problems. Some compatible models support bilingual operation interface switching between Chinese and English, equipped with a 320 × 240 color LCD display screen, adjustable LED backlight brightness, detailed operation prompts, and reduced learning costs for operators.

4. High reliability design

The electronic components adopt advanced SMT (Surface Mount Technology) process, which improves the seismic resistance and stability of the module; The key data has the function of power outage saving, and the data can be saved for more than 5 years in the event of a power outage, avoiding the loss of control parameters caused by sudden power outages. At the same time, it has a comprehensive protection mechanism, such as cold material start-up protection, temperature sensing line breakage detection, high and low temperature deviation alarm, etc., providing multiple guarantees for the safe operation of equipment.

Adaptation system and installation operation and maintenance specifications

1. Adapt the controller and system

Core compatibility with Yaskawa MP2000 series machine controllers (such as MP2200, MP2300, etc.), specific compatibility needs to refer to the controller CPU version and programming software version (MPE720 version needs to be matched); It can form a complete motion control solution with Yaskawa ∑ series servo drives (such as SGMAH, SGMGH, etc.), achieving full chain coordination of "signal acquisition control command output servo drive". In the application scenario of injection molding machines, the Zhenxiong CH series injection molding machine can be directly connected to the main body, supporting the storage and retrieval of 150 sets of mold forming data.

2. Installation specifications

The installation site must meet the following conditions: priority should be given to installing in the control cabinet, ensuring that the ambient temperature does not exceed 55 ℃. If multiple modules are installed in parallel, a cooling fan should be added to the upper part; Keep away from heating elements (such as frequency converters, heaters) and vibration sources. When installing near vibration sources, anti vibration devices should be installed; Avoid installation in damp, dusty, and corrosive gas environments to prevent condensation and component corrosion. The installation method adopts standardized modular installation, first fixing the guide rail or mounting seat, and then accurately embedding and locking the module to ensure a firm and secure installation without looseness. When wiring, it is necessary to follow the sequence of "power on the CPU unit first, input/output 24V power supply then power on" to avoid output abnormalities caused by momentary power on; The signal line needs to be wired separately from the power line to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference.

3. Key points of operation and maintenance

Regular cleaning of module surface dust and inspection of loose or oxidized wiring terminals are required for daily maintenance; Regularly backup control parameters through software to avoid parameter loss; During troubleshooting, the real-time status can be viewed through the monitoring screens of the module (such as input monitoring, output monitoring, program monitoring, etc.), and the fault point can be located by combining the alarm history records. When disassembling the module, all power sources should be cut off first, and then the operation should be carried out in the order of "unlock pull out" to avoid component damage caused by live disassembly.

Typical application scenarios

AI-01, with its high precision and stability, is widely used in automation control scenarios such as manufacturing and energy industries. The core application scenarios are as follows:

-Injection molding machine automation control: As the core control unit component of injection molding machines from brands such as Zhenxiong, it is responsible for collecting analog signals such as mold temperature, injection pressure, glue speed, and stroke.
