American PLC product introduction PLC classification

The world's PLC products can be divided into three major genres by region: one genre is an American product, one genre is a European product, and one genre is a Japanese product. PLC technology in the United States and Europe is independently researched and developed under isolation, so there are significant differences between PLC products in the United States and Europe. The Japanese PLC technology was introduced by the United States, and has certain inheritance to the US PLC products, but Japan's main push products are positioned on small PLCs. The United States and Europe are known for large and medium-sized PLCs, while Japan is known for small PLCs.

American PLC products

The United States is a PLC producing country with more than 100 PLC manufacturers, such as AB, General Electric (GE), MODICON, Texas Instruments, and Westinghouse. Among them, AB is the largest PLC manufacturer in the United States, and its products account for about half of the US PLC market.

AB's product specifications are complete and varied, and its main large and medium-sized PLC products are PLC-5 series. This series is a modular structure. When the CPU module is PLC-5/10, PLC-5/12, PLC-5/15, PLC-5/25, it belongs to medium-sized PLC. The I/O point configuration range is 256~1024 points. When the CPU module is PLC-5/11, PLC-5/20, PLC-5/30, PLC-5/40, PLC-5/60, PLC-5/40L, PLC-5/60L, it is a large PLC, I / O points can be configured up to 3072 points. The PLC-5/250 is the most powerful in this series, with up to 4096 I/O points, with powerful control and information management functions. The mainframe PLC-3 can be configured up to 8096 I/O points. AB's small PLC products include the SLC500 series.

GE 's representative products are: small units GE-1 , GE-1/J , GE-1/P, etc., except for GE-1/J , all adopt modular structure. GE - l is used in switching control systems and can be configured up to 112 I/O points. The GE-1/J is a more compact product with up to 96 points of I/O points. GE-1/P is an enhanced product of GE-1 , adding some functional commands (data operation instructions), function modules ( A/D , D/A, etc.), remote I/O functions, etc., and its I/O points. Up to 168 points can be configured. Medium-sized machine GE- III, which adds interrupt, fault diagnosis and other functions than GE-1/P , and can be configured up to 400 I/O points. The mainframe GE- V, which adds some data processing, table processing, subroutine control and other functions to the GE- III, has strong communication functions and can be configured up to 2048 I/O points. The GE- VI /P can be configured up to 4000 I/O points.

Texas Instruments ( TI )'s small PLC new products are 510 , 520 and TI100 , medium-sized PLC new products are TI300 , 5TI, etc., large PLC products are PM550 , 530 , 560 , 565 and other series. In addition to the TI100 and TI300 without networking functions, other PLCs can communicate to form a distributed control system.

MODICON has M84 series PLC . Among them, M84 is a small machine with analog control and communication with the host computer. The maximum I/O point is 112 points. M484 is a medium-sized machine. It has strong computing functions and can communicate with the host computer. It can also be connected to multiple networks. The maximum expandable I/O point is 512 points. The M584 is a mainframe with a large capacity, strong data processing and network capabilities, and a maximum expandable I/O point of 8192 . M884 enhanced medium-sized machine, which has the structure of a small machine and the control function of the mainframe. The host module is equipped with two RS-232C interfaces, which can conveniently carry out networking communication .

AD8 Floating Solar Cable

AD8 standard floating Solar Cable is a kind of equipment used for floating photovoltaic power generation. It consists of photovoltaic cells that convert solar energy into electricity. The device is designed to float on the water, while it can be fixed to the water by a buoy and anchorage device to prevent drifting.

AD8 standard floating solar cable has the following characteristics:

1. Efficient use of solar energy: photovoltaic cells can convert solar energy into electricity to achieve efficient power generation.

2. Environmentally friendly: photovoltaic power generation does not produce pollutants and greenhouse gases and is environmentally friendly.

3. Save land resources: Floating solar cable can use the space on the water surface, saving the use of land resources.

4. Strong wind and wave resistance: floating solar cable adopts stable design, has strong wind and wave resistance, and can operate normally in bad weather conditions.

5. Easy installation and maintenance: Floating optical cables are relatively simple to install and maintain, and can be quickly deployed and adjusted.

AD8 standard floating solar cable is suitable for a variety of water environment, such as lakes, reservoirs, rivers, etc. It can be used in power stations, farmland irrigation, drinking water treatment and other fields to provide local clean energy and power supply.
