Automatic screw locking machine data acquisition system solution

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) control various types of equipment through input and output signals, and can execute user-oriented instructions such as logical operations, sequential control, timing, counting and arithmetic operations, so that multiple devices can be connected together for centralized control to form an efficient production line.

Generally speaking, PLC equipment manufacturers or automation transformation service providers write programs into PLC, and PLC controls the output signal to the servo/stepper motor to control the transmission mechanism to run. After the transmission mechanism runs to the screw hole, PLC controls the locking mechanism to lock. During the entire screw locking process, there will be relevant sensors that feed back signals to PLC. When there are abnormal situations such as missed locking, slipping, floating height, etc., PLC will send a signal alarm so that the operator can check the equipment failure.

Therefore, PLC will also be connected to the touch screen to form an integrated construction and local operation, but with the advent of the era of the Internet of Everything, the mode of single-machine local operation of equipment can no longer adapt to the increasingly flexible and changeable needs. Many manufacturers hope to achieve PLC networking and remote monitoring. In this regard, Wutong Bolian provides a data collection solution based on industrial intelligent gateways to effectively solve the above problems.

By connecting to the PLC through the serial port and the network port, the industrial intelligent gateway can collect the input and output signals, IO data, analog signals, etc. in the PLC, perform edge computing and standardized processing, and upload data such as temperature, pressure, vibration, transmission speed, and switch status to the cloud platform or host computer (supporting WeChat, SMS, email, etc.), realize equipment monitoring, data large screen, equipment management, fault operation and maintenance, and strengthen the management function of the production process.

System Features

1. Through the system platform, the operating status, location distribution, fault data, etc. of the automatic screw locking machine can be monitored in real time to timely discover and solve problems. Equipment manufacturers can quickly understand the sales and distribution of equipment, and customers can understand equipment data and start viewing through the data screen.

2. Through the platform, you can set alarm rules and notification methods for different devices. For example, when the temperature of a component is detected to be abnormally high, it will be automatically notified through WeChat, SMS, email, etc. The administrator will generate an operation and maintenance work order and send it to the engineer for timely and rapid maintenance.

3. By analyzing and processing the collected equipment and data, the production efficiency and energy consumption of the automatic screw locking machine can be optimized. For example, by analyzing the tightening torque data, the optimal tightening torque range can be determined, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and accuracy of the automatic screw locking machine.

Data collection and intelligent analysis systems are important guarantees for efficient management and maintenance of automatic screw locking machines. Through mobile phones and computers, the operating status and parameters of automatic screw locking machines can be monitored in real time, and fault maintenance and predictive maintenance can be implemented to improve the performance and efficiency of automatic screw locking machines.
