Each instrument has its own unique communication protocol, commonly including Modbus communication protocol, RS-232 communication protocol, RS-485 communication protocol, HART communication protocol, etc. So, how do these communication protocols work and what are they What are the advantages and disadvantages? This article will focus on introducing several common communication protocols currently available! Assist instrument personnel in learning. Communication protocol: also known as communication protocol, refers to an agreement between communication parties on the control of data transmission. The agreement includes provisions on data format, synchronization method, transmission speed, transmission steps, error detection and correction methods, and control character definitions A regulation that both parties in communication must comply with, also known as link contro...

PROFIBUS-DP (Process Field Bus Decentralized Peripheral) is a communication protocol used in the field of industrial automation, primarily for efficient and reliable data exchange between master and slave stations. 1. Network planning and cabling: Before designing and implementing a PROFIBUS-DP communication network, network planning and cabling are necessary. This includes determining the physical location of the master and slave stations, determining the bus length and topology, selecting appropriate network cables and connectors, and ensuring that parameters such as cable length, packaging, and terminal impedance meet regulatory requirements. 2. Selection of master and slave stations: Select appropriate PROFIBUS-DP master and slave station equipment based on system requirements and communication needs. The master station equipment usually has s...

The use of PROFINET network communication in industrial sites is becoming increasingly common. Most users are only familiar with the usage of PROFINET network, and know very little about the underlying working mechanism of PROFINET. With the increasing number of PROFINET device nodes, the scale of the network is becoming larger and more complex than before. Many users have encountered various problems due to improper use during the usage process. Below, I will introduce a case of network failure caused by improper use. The control network of a certain tobacco factory in the silk processing workshop uses PROFINET network. On site reports indicate that PROFINET control networks often experience network interruptions. The network topology on site is shown in Figure 1. From Figure 1, it can be seen that the PLC of S7-400 is conn...

Liquid level transmitter is a widely used measuring instrument in the field of industrial automation, mainly used to measure the liquid level height of containers such as storage tanks and pipelines. Proper use and maintenance of liquid level transmitters is one of the important measures to ensure safe production. This article will introduce the safe operation and maintenance procedures for liquid level transmitters. 1、 Safety operating procedures for liquid level transmitters 1. Understand the technical parameters and scope of use of liquid level transmitters Before using the liquid level transmitter, it is necessary to have a detailed understanding of its technical parameters and scope of use to ensure that it can meet the actual working requirements. When selecting a liquid level transmitter, special attention should be paid to its measurement range, accuracy, environmental te...

The electric contact level gauge is designed based on the different electrical resistivity of water and steam. The electrode of the measuring cylinder has a low impedance to the cylinder in water. The impedance of the cylinder is high in the steam.As the water level changes, the number of electrodes in the water also changes. Convert into a change in resistance value. Transmit to the secondary instrument to achieve functions such as water level display, alarm, protection interlock, etc. Troubleshooting of electric contact level gauge:1. The electrode of the electric contact level gauge is prone to being covered by oxides, and over time, its reliability and sensitivity gradually decrease. This can be solved by reducing the electrode point current, as this greatly reduces the adsorption force of the electrode.Sharp pointed electrodes are also acceptable, as they have a certain se...

Embedded systems are computer systems used for various devices, including but not limited to household appliances, automobiles, medical equipment, and industrial control systems. These systems play an important role in modern life and are therefore crucial for their normal operation. However, embedded systems also encounter various faults and problems during use, so understanding troubleshooting and maintenance methods is crucial to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the system. 1. Methods to solve problems 1. Fault phenomenon detection: For problematic embedded systems, it is necessary to first record the fault phenomenon in detail. This includes the frequency of issues, specific error messages, and specific conditions that cause system crashes. Detailed records help to better analyze the root cause of problems and solve them in a targeted manner. Hardware connection...
