Working Principle

1. Data Acquisition and Input Processing

Input Interfaces: Receives field signals (e.g., temperature, pressure, switch status) through built-in or extended I/O modules (e.g., Analog Input AI, Digital Input DI).
Signal Conditioning: Preprocesses input signals through filtering, amplification, and analog-to-digital conversion (A/D conversion) to ensure data accuracy.
Real-Time Guarantee: Uses high-speed sampling technology to ensure timely response to dynamic signals (typical cycle in milliseconds).

2. Control Logic and Algorithm Execution

Program Runtime Platform: Based on a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) to ensure deterministic execution of control programs (no delays or priority preemption).
Programming Language Support: Compatible with IEC 61131-3 standard programming languages (e.g., Ladder Diagram LD, Structured Text ST, Function Block Diagram FBD), allowing users to write control logic as needed.
Algorithm Processing:

Performs conventional logic control (e.g., interlock protection, sequential control).
Supports advanced control algorithms (e.g., PID regulation, fuzzy control, complex mathematical operations).
Handles specific algorithms for motion control or process control (e.g., motor speed regulation, process optimization).

3. Output Control and Execution

Output Interfaces: Sends control commands through analog output (AO), digital output (DO), and other interfaces.
Signal Conversion: Converts digital signals to analog signals (D/A conversion) or directly drives actuators such as relays and transistors.
Closed-Loop Control: Forms a closed-loop control circuit by integrating feedback signals (e.g., real-time sensor data) to dynamically adjust outputs and achieve target parameters.

4. Communication and System Integration

Internal Communication: Exchanges real-time data with expansion modules (e.g., I/O modules, communication modules) via backplane buses or dedicated interfaces.
External Communication:

Supports industrial Ethernet (e.g., PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP) and fieldbus (e.g., PROFIBUS, CANopen) protocols.
Communicates with upper computers (SCADA systems, HMI human-machine interfaces), other controllers, or cloud platforms to enable data monitoring, remote configuration, and system collaboration.

5. System Management and Diagnostics

Real-Time Operating System (RTOS): Manages task scheduling, memory, and interrupt handling to ensure the stability of parallel multi-task operations.
Fault Diagnosis:

Built-in self-test functions (e.g., hardware fault detection, program runtime monitoring).
Feeds back anomalies (e.g., communication interruptions, power failures, overloads) via LED indicators, diagnostic logs, or upper computer interfaces.

Redundancy and Reliability: Some models support hot redundancy configuration (e.g., dual controllers backing up each other) to ensure system continuity in the event of single-point failures.
