PLC automation control is mainly manifested in the input and output of I O, input and output of analog sensors, pulse or bus-type motion control. HMI is used to display process data, status information and operation interface, and operators can interact with the automation system through the HMI to monitor, adjust and control operations. Traditional PLC program is difficult to cope with complex industrial application scenarios, such as the need to interface with the MES or other production management systems, enterprises are generally through the addition of host computer (industrial computer) to meet the application expansion. Adding a host computer is usually accompanied by the use of an industrial monitor, or directly use the industrial all-in-one machine.
1. Limited computational power PLCs have relatively limited processing power and may not be able to meet the demands of complex algorithms and large data processing. This may limit the system’s intelligence and optimization capabilities.
2. Lack of FlexibilityPLCs are often programmed using specific programming languages and hardware architectures, which makes it relatively difficult to modify and expand the system. PLCs may not be flexible enough for applications that require frequent changes or customization.
3. Weak communication capabilitiesTraditional PLCs may have limitations in communicating with other devices and systems. This hinders system integration and data sharing, and affects the overall productivity and informatization level.
4. Complex Programming and DebuggingPLC programming requires professional knowledge and experience, and for some complex control logic, programming and debugging can be cumbersome and time-consuming, and at the same time, much of the debugging of the PLC needs to be programmed, which is more complex compared to the X86 program.
5. Limitations on Data AnalysisPLCs usually PLCs usually provide limited visualization interfaces and data analysis functions, which makes it difficult for operators to gain a deeper understanding of the system’s operating status and make effective decision support.
Equipment costs:
If the enterprise equipment itself is not very profitable, in the existing PLC + touch screen on the basis of increasing the industrial control machine, will certainly make the enterprise equipment procurement costs significantly higher. But because of the system design needs, and have to use PLC + touch screen + industrial control machine.
Personnel costs:
Increase the host computer, means that the system software to do re-development, if the enterprise’s current PLC technicians do not know much about the industrial control machine, then you may also need to be equipped with an additional technician who knows how to program the industrial control machine, which undoubtedly increases the cost of employing the enterprise.
Maintenance costs:
the simultaneous use of PLC + industrial control machine, means that there are two systems, the need for both sides of the technical staff docking, in the project development cycle will significantly increase the time, if a node failure, but also need to troubleshoot the two together, to the enterprise to increase the high cost of maintenance.
Hardware Selection:
Select the industrial computer with high performance processor, large capacity memory and storage to meet the control requirements of the equipment, at the same time, according to the interface requirements of the equipment, select the appropriate input and output modules and communication modules.
