0 Introduction Carbon tube resistance furnace is an intermittent operation resistance furnace, used under protective atmosphere, working temperature 2200°C, for carbide (such as tungsten carbide, boron carbide, etc.) and other high temperature materials, and sintering and heating of hard alloy. use. The current carbon tube resistance furnace electrical control method is relatively simple, prone to failure, can not meet the production requirements, and thus its technical transformation, the use of Yu-electronics instrument, MCGS touch screen and power regulator control production, making the equipment to meet the production, research and development Needs, and provide reliable data for the delicate management of production sites and production processes, further reducing equipment failures and facilitating maintenance.

1 current status of carbon tube resistance furnace electronic control method Current carbon tube resistance furnace temperature control system principle is: through the high temperature radiometer to detect the furnace temperature, the furnace temperature signal to the temperature control table, temperature control table to the AC contactor Control, the contactor direct control of the heater, noise, low reliability and poor control accuracy, and there is no production record, in order to solve this problem when the system is modified, Yu-Electric Instrument PID adjustment and output 4-20MA The signal control power regulator uses RS-485 communication between MCGS and Yu Electronics.

AI-808 temperature control table has parameter auto-tuning function, which can help users determine the PID parameters (M5, P, T) in the system. Combined with the power regulator used this time, the temperature control of carbon tube resistance furnace is more accurate. .

2.2 Application of MCGS The MCGS design process is as follows: New Project - Component Real-time Database - Generate Graphical Interface - Define Animation Connection - Device Window Configuration - Run Strategy Configuration - Test. According to this design process, detailed description will be given below.

2.2.1 Engineering Framework The engineering framework of this control system is as follows:
5 user windows: start, homepage, inverter settings, temperature control table settings, history records;
3 cycle strategies: Record control for 3 production shifts.

2.2.2 Component real-time database The real-time database is equivalent to a data processing center and also serves as a public data exchange area. The definition of the MCGS database is shown in Table 2.

2.2.3 Configuring the User Window There are three different types of graphic objects that can be placed in the user window: entities, icons, and animation components. Primitives and icon objects provide users with a complete set of design and production graphics and methods for defining animations. The MCGS of this design has a total of five user windows, which are: start, homepage, inverter settings, temperature control table settings, history records. The home page design is shown in Figure 3 below.

2.2.4 Device Window Configuration The device window is designed to place device components of different types and functions, enabling the operation and control of external devices. The MCGS touch screen, frequency converter, and temperature control table of this design are all connected by RS485 communication. The inverter uses a communication port (RJ-11) to connect with the MCGS touch screen port COM2 (485). Yu Electronics uses terminals 3 and 4 and MCGS touch screen port EXT (COM4) connection.
The communication format and data format of MCGS and frequency converter and temperature control table are shown in Table 3.


Table 3 Communication Format and Data Format Table

2.2.5 Operation Strategy Configuration The operation strategy itself is a framework provided by the system. It contains a “strategy line” composed of policy condition components and strategy components. Through the definition of the operation strategy, the system can be set in the order of The conditional operation of the real-time database, the opening and closing of the control user window, and the determination of the working status of the device components, etc., thereby achieving accurate control of the external device work process.
The technological transformation uses the proximity switch of Delta frequency converter and carbon tube resistance furnace to count the number of production. Delta frequency converter itself has a counter function, uses its multi-function input terminal M2 to connect with the proximity switch, and uses the multi-function terminal M3. Clear count. The MCGS touch screen communicates with the Delta inverter and reads the contents of the counter to record the production. In the MCGS, using production strategy configuration, it is possible to carry out daily production records for each of the three production trains. First, establish a loop strategy, use the system function “!SaveData” in the script program to record and record, in order to record the production details of the bus every day.

2.3 Application of Power Regulators Power regulators are panel mounted power conditioning units that use thyristors and their trigger control circuits to adjust the load power. The power regulator has two control modes, one is phase control and the other is zero-position control, and the selection is performed according to different load conditions.

The technical modification uses a phase-controlled power regulator. The power regulator has the following features:
1, with RST phase fuse fuse indicator, and provide abnormal output contacts, can be used for system emergency control.
2, compact size, good heat dissipation, containing semiconductor-specific fast fuse, not afraid of load short circuit.
3, cooling fan action with temperature control, when the heat sink temperature 55 °C work, stop at 45 °C, can increase the fan life 2 to 3 times.
4. The protection function of the power regulator: Semiconductor special-purpose fast fuse fuse breakage detection, source power phase, body over temperature.
5. The power regulator is used with an intelligent PID controller or PLC with 0-10V, 1-5V, 4-20mA; it is mainly used for heating control of industrial electric furnaces.
The power regulator can control the thyristor to cut the phase angle in the AC power according to the size of the input signal, cut the frequency of each frequency, and can continuously output without any discontinuous phenomenon. The resistive or inductive load is applicable to the output mode of the thyristor. As shown in Figure 4 below.
