基于工业以太网的焊接网络控制器研究

Research on welding network controller based on industrial ethernet

针对各类焊接设备通信协议不统一的问题,设计了基于焊接网络控制器的工业以太网组网方案,实现了不同协议焊机的联网控制。详细讨论了焊接网络控制器的硬、软件设计,实现了以焊缝编号进行焊接规范参数设定的控制策略,并在某专用汽车制造厂铝合金罐体焊接生产中投入了应用。

In order to realize the interconnection of welding equipments with different communication protocols and connection to internet,a networking solution with Industrial Ethernet has been developed in this article.In the network a welding network controller worked as the gatway device,and the hardware circuit ＆ soft program of the controller were designed in detail with the embeded computer technology.The specific parameters of welding procedure was set according to the welding joint numbers.At last the solution of network control was applied to the welding manufacture of aluminium alloys tanks in a special purpose vehicle factory.
