When selecting a PLC as the controller for building an industrial automation production line, the following steps are involved, which will be briefly explained below:
1. First, the client, or Party A, needs to explain to Party B what their desired objectives are and what effects they want to achieve.
2. After clarifying Party A's needs, Party B shall formulate corresponding solutions.
3. Once the solution is finalized, if the client has no objections, the number and types of I/O points required for the project will be determined.
4. After understanding the types of I/O points, select a suitable PLC, remembering to ensure sufficient functional redundancy to prevent unexpected issues.
5. After selecting the PLC hardware, begin writing the control program based on the solution.
6. Once the control program is written, begin actual connection testing.
7. If the test shows no problems, the program can be delivered to the client. If problems are found, the program will be modified, the wiring will be re-wired, and testing will continue until the client is satisfied.
The above is the general process of a PLC project. We also manufacture PLCs and undertake custom PLC projects.
