54、輸入和輸出。各種不同的速率都會(huì)對(duì)控制結(jié)果產(chǎn)生影響，但由速率最慢的所決定。例如，圖9.1所示的一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的池中水平面控制響應(yīng)。如果我們已知液體的流速是10公升/s 并且我們需要維持容器中的液體在±1公升，我們需要讀取輸入的水平并且決定輸出水閥的開(kāi)和關(guān)，最后確認(rèn)最慢需要每0.1s開(kāi)關(guān)一次。這樣我們可以通過(guò)計(jì)算知道控制液體流入水箱的最低限度，也就是1公升/s 。</p><p>　　在第二個(gè)例子（圖9.2）中我

55、們需要讓活塞以±0.2mm的精確度停止。我們知道它的最大運(yùn)行速度是100mm/s，所以為了達(dá)到目的，我們必須每2ms控制閥門(mén)開(kāi)關(guān)一次，也就是說(shuō)0.2mm/100mm/s。</p><p>　　為了達(dá)到這個(gè)目的除非在最小的程序使用一個(gè)較快的PLC，否則我們所需要的掃描速度是很難保證的。一個(gè)輸入中斷是可以被暗示的。由于電氣開(kāi)關(guān)和空氣開(kāi)關(guān)等硬件的延時(shí)以及較為復(fù)雜的開(kāi)關(guān)速度也會(huì)引起一些問(wèn)題。這就需要我們知道在目

56、標(biāo)位置前停止移動(dòng)一個(gè)已知的距離。圖9.3只顯示了如何解釋這些延時(shí)。</p><p>　　也就是說(shuō)，假設(shè)當(dāng)汽缸中活塞的運(yùn)動(dòng)速度固定時(shí)，那些開(kāi)關(guān)的的過(guò)失和所有的電氣和空氣延時(shí)也是固定的。也就是說(shuō)，當(dāng)輸入輸出被使用是，這種假設(shè)是較為合理的。或者說(shuō)用下面的描述，當(dāng)I/O電纜處于使用狀態(tài)的時(shí)候總是會(huì)有10ms的時(shí)間是不確定的。更標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的運(yùn)動(dòng)是用第二個(gè)限位開(kāi)關(guān)來(lái)控制汽缸活塞在到達(dá)指定位置前的減速，然后再用前端的限位開(kāi)關(guān)控制其停

58、　　2、響應(yīng)速度：直流輸入模塊的響應(yīng)速度在25ms以?xún)?nèi)是較為典型的。輸入一較慢的過(guò)濾線(xiàn)路（>10ms）時(shí),為了避免開(kāi)顯示與關(guān)顯示每次都相反我們不得不使這個(gè)輸入在在合適的輸入范圍內(nèi).這個(gè)裝置的響應(yīng)時(shí)間在10-20ms(主頻率為50Hz)。</p><p><b>　　輸出選擇</b></p><p>　　對(duì)于每個(gè)輸出裝置來(lái)時(shí)我們必須確定以下幾點(diǎn)：</p>

59、;<p>　　1、電壓標(biāo)準(zhǔn)：所需要考慮的與輸入裝置相同。</p><p>　　2、PLC輸出端口的能量需要進(jìn)行極大的改變，若液壓螺線(xiàn)管可以升至400W則一個(gè)指示等只需5W。</p><p>　　3、當(dāng)開(kāi)關(guān)量我較微小的信號(hào)輸出時(shí)電阻和電噪音會(huì)對(duì)其產(chǎn)生影響。舉例來(lái)說(shuō)，輸出較為微弱（<100mV）的電信號(hào)會(huì)改變輸入量。有這樣的情況發(fā)生，比如電壓下降或者感應(yīng)電壓擊穿觸點(diǎn)從而高于

60、現(xiàn)行的傳輸是不能被接受的，指定的單元組件需要使用‘信號(hào)’或‘水銀變濕’來(lái)傳達(dá)信號(hào)。</p><p>　　4、使用交流輸出一般情況下是較為有利的。一般情況下電壓是比較高的（常為交流110V），對(duì)于一些特殊的負(fù)載需要提供一個(gè)是平時(shí)四倍的電壓，跟直流24V相比，可以通過(guò)減少電纜的尺寸來(lái)減少可以減少在電纜上的損耗。第二個(gè)比較重要的優(yōu)點(diǎn)是減小電磁干擾。當(dāng)接觸開(kāi)關(guān)開(kāi)或關(guān)時(shí)電流會(huì)試圖瞬間流過(guò)快關(guān)之間的間隙。原因是以很高的頻率產(chǎn)

61、生的無(wú)線(xiàn)點(diǎn)播所產(chǎn)生的電火花。這會(huì)在控制面板的控制下逐步轉(zhuǎn)好。PLC就是為了防止這種沖突和動(dòng)作失常而設(shè)計(jì)的。然而，沒(méi)有任何設(shè)備是絕對(duì)完善的，也就是說(shuō)，交流電晶體管輸出的設(shè)計(jì)是為了使開(kāi)關(guān)在開(kāi)和關(guān)時(shí)產(chǎn)生盡可能小的電磁干擾。</p><p>　　9.2.2 特殊I/O模塊</p><p>　　當(dāng)我們決定選擇一個(gè)相似的I/O模塊時(shí)，必須了解一些限期內(nèi)這些產(chǎn)品的運(yùn)行情況，這些有助于我們根據(jù)需要比較硬件

62、的性能。本章節(jié)我們將介紹對(duì)于輸入輸出模塊都比較普通的要求。</p><p><b>　　輸入</b></p><p>　　如第6.5.1章節(jié)所討論的，擇輸入模塊需要從以下幾點(diǎn)進(jìn)行考慮：</p><p>　　■電壓標(biāo)準(zhǔn) 輸入的最高電壓是通過(guò)測(cè)量來(lái)確認(rèn)的。模塊的最大值的范圍大于這個(gè)值是較為正常的選擇也是最好的。然而，有很多輸入單元的測(cè)量是在不同的

63、最大電壓下進(jìn)行的，我們必須用一個(gè)擁有較高的電壓的模塊或者有一個(gè)較低的電壓的模塊串聯(lián)一個(gè)分壓電阻是所用輸出處于一個(gè)正常的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。如果所有的電壓都是在最高或是在最低之間的話(huà)，我們需要選擇一個(gè)具有兩極的模塊。如圖9.4所示為分壓電路。</p><p>　　■電流輸入 通過(guò)使用一個(gè)4-20mA的電流環(huán)可以忽略根據(jù)電壓選擇標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的所有問(wèn)題，但是需要考慮在使用時(shí)發(fā)送單位的過(guò)程中將其精確的轉(zhuǎn)化成可變的電流信號(hào)。如果轉(zhuǎn)化器沒(méi)有在掌握

64、系統(tǒng)規(guī)格時(shí)購(gòu)買(mǎi)的話(huà)，在建的裝置會(huì)在電流輸出方面花費(fèi)一點(diǎn)額外的支出。還有的優(yōu)點(diǎn)是較為簡(jiǎn)單的接線(xiàn)，更好的噪聲免疫和忽略地域等問(wèn)題。缺點(diǎn)是電流環(huán)系統(tǒng)響應(yīng)的較慢，而且只適用于改變頻率低于10Hz的信號(hào)。</p><p>　　■轉(zhuǎn)換速度 A/D轉(zhuǎn)換器有兩種較為基本的類(lèi)型。第一種是每20ms執(zhí)行一次轉(zhuǎn)換（交流電壓的周期）這給我們提供的閱讀自由，不必?fù)?dān)心在通信線(xiàn)路上各種噪聲的頻率的干擾。第二種是在2-20us內(nèi)進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)換，使測(cè)量

65、瞬時(shí)數(shù)據(jù)成為可能。當(dāng)一個(gè)模塊不止一個(gè)輸入需要測(cè)量時(shí)，他會(huì)按順序轉(zhuǎn)換每一個(gè)輸入信號(hào)，并減小每個(gè)單獨(dú)通道的傳輸速度。選擇這種轉(zhuǎn)換器會(huì)降低轉(zhuǎn)換時(shí)間和規(guī)范PLC載入和讀取數(shù)據(jù)。當(dāng)高速傳輸時(shí)PLC只起到一個(gè)中轉(zhuǎn)的作用，載入數(shù)據(jù)時(shí)只是閱讀，在此之后進(jìn)行分析從而進(jìn)行記錄和顯示。如果需要一個(gè)更高的傳輸速度時(shí)，我們需要只讀取一個(gè)通道的信號(hào)來(lái)適應(yīng)整個(gè)系統(tǒng)的外部電壓表的顯示。如果這不是足夠快的話(huà)會(huì)通過(guò)外部電壓表來(lái)讀取一個(gè)達(dá)到2000轉(zhuǎn)/s是的真實(shí)時(shí)間并且將這

66、個(gè)時(shí)間裝入PLC用于連續(xù)通訊。</p><p><b>　　輸出</b></p><p>　　一個(gè)特殊功能輸出模塊的轉(zhuǎn)換速度是個(gè)問(wèn)題，它一般低于100us。如果要選擇一個(gè)這樣的模塊我們只需要考慮以下幾點(diǎn)：</p><p>　　■電壓標(biāo)準(zhǔn) 大多數(shù)模塊根據(jù)提供輸出±10V的電壓進(jìn)行分類(lèi)，這些可以提供所需的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。較為簡(jiǎn)單的提供0-10V的裝
