Precautions for use
-The installation of the control machine must strictly follow the installation specifications of ABB standard control cabinets, ensure good ventilation of the control cabinet, and avoid direct sunlight and rainwater immersion; The grounding of the rack should be reliable, with a grounding resistance of ≤ 4 Ω, to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference on equipment operation.
-When configuring redundancy, the hardware models, firmware versions, and configuration programs of the primary and backup control machines must be completely consistent, and the redundant bus connection must be secure. After completing the redundant parameter configuration through configuration software, a fault switching test must be conducted to ensure that the redundancy function is normal.
-When wiring the power supply, the dual power supply should be connected to an independent power supply circuit. It is recommended to install power lightning protection devices and surge protectors to resist voltage fluctuations and lightning strikes in the power grid; Before wiring, it is necessary to confirm that the power supply voltage matches the power supply requirements of the control machine to avoid equipment damage caused by incorrect voltage connections.
-When configuring the communication network, it is necessary to plan the network topology according to different communication protocols. It is recommended to use ring network redundancy design for industrial Ethernet to ensure reliable communication links; When communicating with third-party devices, it is necessary to unify communication parameters (such as IP address, baud rate, verification method) and conduct communication link testing.
-When configuring programming, it is necessary to choose the appropriate programming method based on the control requirements of the industrial process. For complex logic, modular design is recommended for easy maintenance and modification in the later stage; After programming is completed, offline simulation testing is required to verify the correctness of the control logic and avoid production accidents caused by program vulnerabilities.
-In daily operation and maintenance, it is necessary to regularly check the operating status of the control machine (CPU load, memory usage, fault logs, etc.) through configuration software, and dust the equipment surface every week to ensure good heat dissipation; Perform redundancy switching tests and backup configuration programs once a quarter. When equipment malfunctions, prioritize remote diagnosis to locate the problem. If on-site replacement is required, ensure power-off operation and avoid plugging and unplugging modules with power on.
