The control system plays a fundamental but key role in the process of automation development. With the deepening of industrial automation and intelligent process, the control system is facing higher requirements and challenges. On the one hand, in order to cope with the increasingly complex production process and equipment requirements, it is necessary to further improve the control accuracy and response speed; On the other hand, the demand for computing power of the control system in the production and manufacturing process is getting higher and higher, and it is urgent to strengthen the integration and collaboration with other automation technologies to achieve the overall optimization and intelligence of the production process.
As a company with deep technical accumulation in the fields of PC control, dual-domain operating system development, motion control algorithm and artificial intelligence algorithm, Sinsegye is committed to promoting the development of industrial automation and intelligence with the design concept of integrated computing and control technology. Recently, gongkong® had the honor to interview the relevant product leaders of Sinsegye to gain an in-depth understanding of its innovative practices and application results in the field of industrial automation.
Industrial intelligence machine:
Computer control integration, integration of IT and OT innovation
At present, the era proposition of intelligent manufacturing has put forward higher requirements to various industries, and the control system, as an important support for production and manufacturing, determines the processing accuracy, product quality and equipment performance. Shao Hui, senior product manager of Sinsegye compact industrial intelligent machine, said that in the face of innovation barriers of domestic chipsets, industrial virtualization technology and IDE ecology, Sinsegye's core technology route is industrial automation and intelligence based on PC technology and software defined technology.
Compared with the traditional "industrial computer + lower computer" split architecture, the one-stop automation based on PC technology has three advantages: first, the hard real-time speed is faster and the jitter is lower; The second is the integration of calculation and control, the cost is lower; Third, the programming efficiency is higher and the user experience is better.
Sinsegye introduced the industrial intelligence machine, through software-defined technology to achieve the integration of IT and OT, not only the traditional controller, logic control/motion control and other functions, but also capable of carrying the host computer complex applications. Its internal integration of advanced algorithms and high-performance processors give it powerful computing and data processing capabilities, enabling it to cope with a variety of complex tasks.

With the introduction of more and more visual inspection functions in industrial application scenarios and the increasing complexity of equipment control process algorithms, users have an unprecedented demand for control system computing power, and the integration of computing and control can perfectly solve the integration of real-time side and non-real-time side. Simple industrial vision algorithms can be written through ST language in the industrial intelligence machine to achieve detection, positioning, identification, defects and other functions to meet customer motion control + visual scene needs.
"In our team, we have a slogan, which is to make it easy for industrial controllers to handle vision." Shao Hui said. The traditional PLC programming method is IEC61131-3 graphical language, and the visual part needs to use C language or C# and other high-level programming languages.Sinsegye transforms visual algorithms into graphical languages and is embedded in the controller, enabling a single controller to implement machine vision, logic control, motion control, visual interface, configuration software, and edge computing functions in a single set of software.
With excellent stability, intelligence, application, safety and compatibility, the machine has been successfully used in the field of new energy and process industry. Sinsegye IPC machine product director Li Xiuchao introduced to gongkong that through a machine at the same time to meet the different control needs in a complex industrial environment, can greatly simplify the system architecture and improve production efficiency. In particular, the CNC numerical control system is run on the IPC machine, which can realize the integration of the three hardware forms of CNC numerical control system +PLC+ industrial computer.
The machine has shown unique advantages in the combination with CNC numerical control system. Sinsegye's CNC system is modular in design, offering high flexibility and scalability. Combined with high-precision servo system and feedback device, the machine can realize high-precision machining and manufacturing to meet the needs of various complex processes.
By combining CNC numerical control system with general automation technology, the machine can realize automatic tool change, detection compensation and other functions, undertake more edge work, and cover the whole process of the production line.
"This not only gives full play to the advantages of the integrated computing and control platform, but also significantly improves data interaction and communication capabilities, which further improves production efficiency and accuracy." Li Xiuchao said.
Digital software solution:
Out of the box to meet diverse needs
The combination of hard and soft is the basis of industrial automation and intelligence. The hardware provides the basic computing and control capabilities, while the software gives the hardware more functionality and flexibility. As the "software-defined future" becomes a reality, digital software is playing an unprecedented role.

Di Kang introduced Instaguard device intelligent nursing diagnosis system in detail. The system provides automatic equipment care and diagnosis service through AI algorithm model. Traditional equipment monitoring mainly relies on a single vibration signal, but there are limitations in some scenarios. Therefore, Sinsegye adopted an innovative method, that is, collecting equipment body vibration temperature and its upstream and downstream process data, and analyzing the root causes of equipment fault warning through multi-dimensional data simultaneous, so as to reduce unplanned downtime and further improve the nursing analysis ability.
The MesPV polycrystalline silicon reduction furnace process optimization control system is a solution specifically designed for the specific application scenario of upstream polysilicon manufacturing in the photovoltaic industry. It provides a hybrid IDE programming environment, which quickly encapsulates the customer's own process flow and business experience algorithms, with higher real-time performance and reliability of the customer's key algorithms. In addition, SparkCV visual intelligent care system is also attracting attention. The system has a rich visual recognition algorithm, which can be combined with the existing network and camera infrastructure to achieve intelligent monitoring.
When talking about the layout of Sinsegye digital software, Di Kang said: "Sinsegye will continue to improve and enrich the digital software product matrix. In the future, we plan to develop an energy management system, which is closely related to the current national 'two-carbon' goal. Secondly, we also hope to create a series of universal solutions in the steel field to meet the needs of more application scenarios."
