PLC mechatronics technology in the field of intelligent control application analysis

Abstract The traditional manual operation mode has problems such as high manpower cost, low efficiency, low safety, low operating precision, etc. Achieving unmanned intelligent systems in the field of mechanical and electrical engineering has become the key to transforming and upgrading relevant enterprises and improving their overall competitiveness. In this paper, an improved fuzzy PID control system is constructed based on a PLC control system combined with a fuzzy PID intelligence algorithm. It is applied to the pumping motor, coagulation dosing system, and other specific devices for simulation experiments, compared to the conventional PID algorithm, and evaluated the control system in this paper. The fuzzy PID control algorithm of this paper reduces the steady-state adjustment time of the response curve by 30% compared to the conventional PID algorithm, and the overshooting amount is reduced by 25%. With almost no overshoot, the pumping motor that was equipped with this paper’s PID algorithm reached its stable target speed in 0.3 seconds. In addition, this study found that in the coagulation dosing system model incorporating the fuzzy PID algorithm of this paper, when the model is accurate, only 20% of the overshooting amount occurs after the system has been running for some time. The conventional PID algorithm’s 50% overshoot is significantly less than this, and the time it takes to reach a steady state is also 50 minutes earlier than the conventional PID control. When the model is imprecise, fluctuations occur in both conventional PID control and fuzzy PID control, but the amplitude of the fluctuations in fuzzy PID control is relatively small. In conclusion, this paper shows that the fuzzy PID control algorithm in this paper has higher control accuracy, response speed, and stability than the conventional PID control algorithm.

An online intelligent management method for wastewater treatment supported by coupling data-driven and mechanism models

The management of traditional wastewater treatment plants(WWTPs) mostly rely on human experience, resulting in high cost and low efficiency under conservative operation mode. This study proposed an online intelligent management method based on plan library to improve the wastewater treatment performance. The operation plans in plan library were obtained based on the mechanism model (Activated Sludge Models) of a pilot Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic (A2/O) process, and each plan represents the optimal operation strategy under a specific influent condition. Then the plan library was input to train a data driven model, i.e. a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) regression model. The trained MLP model can be used to generate more detailed online operation strategies for wastewater treatment process under different influent conditions. After a 124 days continuous operation of the A2/O process, the results shown, the proposed method can generate online operation strategies according to influent conditions, and the main effluent indicators meet the discharge standards continuously and stably. Meanwhile, compared with the manual operation mode, the aeration energy consumption was saved about 49.4 % by using the proposed method. The mechanism model and data-driven model were combined in this study, and it has scientific value and engineering significance for intelligent management of WWTPs.

Adaptive Mode-switching From Autonomous Driving Mode to Manual Operation Mode of Mobile Robot Based on Body Sway

Transportation flexibility in manufacturing factories can be improved by introducing a function that allows the operator to physically interact with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs.) In our previous study, a manual operation mode was implemented with a sensorless power-assist scheme according to impedance control based on the touching force of the operator on a stationary AMR. In this paper, we propose a mode-switching algorithm for an AMR that switches from autonomous navigation to manual operation. Control-mode switching is achieved by detecting the body sway caused by the touching force of the operator. The experimental results demonstrate that the control mode can be successfully switched adaptively based on the intention of the operator, without any additional sensors.

Energy consumption of using HEPA-based portable air cleaner in residences: A monitoring study in Seattle, US

Portable air cleaners (PACs), offering both auto and manual (adjustable) operation modes, are commonly used in residences. Compared with adjustable mode, auto mode’s advantage of reducing indoor PM2.5 has been previously demonstrated. This study examines the energy consumption of such PACs in six residences recruited in Seattle, United States, and compares the power consumption between auto and adjustable modes. Each residence went through a one-week-long PAC filtration session under auto and adjustable modes, respectively. PAC power consumption, indoor PM2.5, temperature, and relative humidity (RH) were measured at 10-second intervals in each residence. A linear mixed-effects regression (LMER) model was used to compare the PAC power consumption between the two modes after adjusting for indoor PM2.5, temperature, and RH. Results show that the mean (standard deviation) PAC power consumption under adjustable and auto modes were 7.0 (3.5) and 6.8 (2.6) W, respectively. The average monthly energy consumption of continuous PAC operation was estimated to be ∼5 kWh for both modes. Based on the LEMR model, PAC power consumption under auto mode was approximately 3% larger than that under adjustable mode, after adjusting for living-room PM2.5, temperature, and RH levels. The implications for PAC operation mode selection in residential environments were discussed.

Low-Power Hardware Accelerator for Detrending Measured Biopotential Data

Biopotential data measurement plays an important role in monitoring the body's physiological functions. It is affected by noise from various sources for different signals adversely affecting the ability to interpret them. The traditional methods of data detrending are either computationally inefficient, power-intensive, or have high latency. The maximum-mean-minimum (MaMeMi) filter reported for electrocardiogram (ECG) denoising is a computationally efficient algorithm. The MaMeMi filter response depends on two filter coefficients. In the real time, it is difficult to gauge the characteristics of the detected signal beforehand. In this article, we propose an adaptive-MaMeMi (AMaMeMi) filter, which adaptively computes the filter coefficients according to the properties of the input. We have used hardware-software codesign techniques for the optimized implementation of the AMaMeMi filter. The proposed hardware accelerator architecture for the AMaMeMi filter can be used in both adaptive and manual modes of operation. The hardware accelerator is tested for various biopotential signal detrendings, and the single hardware is capable of eliminating baseline wander from all considered measurements with less computational costs and low latency. We implemented the AMaMeMi filter on Xilinx Zynq-7000 system-on-chip (part number XCZ7020-CLG484-1) and statistically verified the results. The hardware accelerator implementation results provide a good correlation with MATLAB simulation results. The hardware accelerator implementation provides an average correlation of 0.9999, a normalized root-mean-square error of 0.0038, and a maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain of 19 dB. The low computational complexity of the proposed architecture implies low-power consumption. It consumes 12 mW at 100-MHz clock and 0.7 mW at 500-Hz clock.
