2024-08-03

The control cabinet is the core component in the industrial automation system, which is used to manage the operation of electrical equipment and systems. By integrating various controllers and components, the control cabinet realizes precise control of equipment and improves production efficiency and safety.

The working principle of the control cabinet is mainly based on electrical control technology. In the control cabinet, integrated PLC (programmable logic controller), HMI (human machine interface), relays, sensors and other control components. As the core of the control cabinet, PLC is responsible for receiving and processing various input signals, executing pre-programmed logic control programs, and outputting control signals. The HMI provides an interface for the operator to interact with the equipment to monitor and adjust the operating status of the system.
The control cabinet monitors the environmental parameters around the equipment in real time through sensors, such as temperature, pressure, etc. Once the sensor detects an abnormality, it will send a signal to the PLC to trigger an alarm or automatic control action. The relay is used to control the start and stop of high-power equipment or motor to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
In the working process, the control cabinet automatically runs various tasks, such as equipment start and stop, process control, fault diagnosis, etc. according to the logic program set in advance. Through the network communication module, the control cabinet can also realize data exchange and remote monitoring with the upper computer or other equipment.
In general, the working principle of the control cabinet is based on logic control and automation technology. Through the integration of various control components and sensors, the intelligent management and optimal control of the equipment are realized, which provides important support for industrial production.
