Constructing an Automation Control System for Electric Power Inspection Robot Based on PLC
The automation control system of power inspection robots is designed based on PLC to improve the effi-ciency and safety of power dispatch.Based on PLC,the overall architecture of the automation control system for pow-er inspection robots is constructed.The upper computer receives operator information transmitted from the control panel and status information such as temperature and angle transmitted from the lower computer.The instructions are sent to the lower computer through the OPC communication program.The lower computer,based on the instructions issued by the upper computer,completes the motion control of the power inspection robot through the PID drive con-troller,and applies the control results to the motor driven robot motion,using the fuzzy C-means clustering method to identify faults in power inspection robots,the results are transmitted in real-time to the display of the upper computer control panel,and the working status of the robot is promptly feedback.The experimental results show that the sys-tem can control the robot to complete power inspection.After application,the system can effectively detect robot faults,enabling it to have excellent obstacle avoidance ability and achieve real-time communication between upper and lower computers.
