Typical application scenarios
4.1 Petrochemical Process Control
In refineries and chemical plants, the DO810 module can serve as the core connecting component between the controller and on-site actuators, enabling start stop control of equipment such as solenoid valves, regulating valves, and explosion-proof fans. For example, in the control system of a chemical reaction kettle, the module receives controller instructions, accurately outputs signals to control the on/off status and opening degree of the feed valve, and monitors the integrity of the valve control signal in real time through fault diagnosis function to ensure accurate material ratio in the reaction process and avoid production accidents caused by valve failures. Its explosion-proof certification and anti-interference performance can adapt to the flammable, explosive, and strong electromagnetic interference environment in chemical sites.
4.2 Power Production and Auxiliary Systems
In the auxiliary control systems of thermal power plants and hydropower stations, this module is widely used in coal conveying systems, ash removal systems, water treatment systems, and other links to control the operation of equipment such as belt conveyors, vibrating screens, sewage pumps, solenoid valves, etc. For example, in the coal conveying system of a thermal power plant, the DO810 module outputs signals to start or stop the conveying equipment in each link according to the interlocking control logic of the controller, achieving automated control of the coal conveying process; When a certain device experiences overload or short circuit faults, the module promptly feedbacks fault information, and the controller quickly executes shutdown protection instructions to ensure the safe operation of the coal transportation system.
4.3 Intelligent Manufacturing and Production Line Control
In intelligent manufacturing production lines such as automobile manufacturing and electronic component production, the DO810 module is used to control the actions and status display of equipment such as conveyor belts, robotic arms, clamping devices, and indicator lights on the assembly line. For example, on an electronic component assembly line, modules receive instructions from PLC controllers to accurately control the grasping, movement, placement, and other actions of the robotic arm. At the same time, they control the on/off of the workstation indicator light through output signals to indicate the current working status of the operator's workstation. Its multi-channel design and fast response capability can meet the high cycle and high-precision control requirements of the production line.
4.4 Water Treatment and Environmental Protection Engineering
In the control systems of sewage treatment plants and water treatment plants, the DO810 module is used to control the operation of equipment such as dosing pumps, aeration fans, drainage pumps, and grid cleaning machines. For example, in the aeration process of sewage treatment, the module outputs signals to adjust the start stop or speed of the aeration fan (in conjunction with a frequency converter) based on the dissolved oxygen concentration control instructions issued by the controller, ensuring that the dissolved oxygen content in the reaction tank is maintained within a reasonable range; When the dosing pump experiences an overload fault, the module promptly diagnoses and reports it to avoid affecting the sewage treatment effect due to dosing interruption. Its wide environmental adaptability can cope with the humid and corrosive gas environment of water treatment sites.
Precautions for use
-Before installing the module, it is necessary to confirm the power supply voltage of the I/O rack and the compatibility of the module, ensure that the rack is well grounded (grounding resistance ≤ 4 Ω), and avoid static electricity and electromagnetic interference affecting module performance.
-When wiring, it is necessary to strictly distinguish between the output terminals and power terminals of each channel, and select the corresponding output voltage level according to the power specifications of the on-site actuator to avoid module or actuator damage caused by incorrect voltage connections; It is recommended to use shielded cables for wiring, with one end of the shielding layer grounded to enhance anti-interference ability.
-When configuring the module, it is necessary to use ABB Control Builder M software to set appropriate output modes and fault diagnosis parameters based on the actuator type (resistive, inductive), ensuring that the module matches the actuator and improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis.
-For inductive loads such as motors and solenoid valves, it is recommended to parallel freewheeling diodes at both ends of the load to absorb the reverse electromotive force generated when the load is powered off and protect the module output circuit.
-In daily operation and maintenance, it is necessary to regularly check the status of the module panel indicator lights, and view the operating status and fault logs of the module and each channel through the control system monitoring software; Regularly clean the dust on the surface of the module to ensure good heat dissipation and avoid high temperature environments affecting the module's lifespan.
-When performing module hot plugging operations, it is necessary to first confirm that the system supports hot plugging function, and avoid touching the metal pins of the module during the operation to prevent short circuits; After replacing the module, it is necessary to reconfigure and calibrate the parameters to ensure that the module works properly.
