Build doubleization system in the case of, 2 PLC 10A, 10B of such as pie graph 1 comprising CPU element 13A, Unit including 13B and NE 14A, 14A is generally built by identical product, in addition, on elementary cell 11A, 11B The above-mentioned each unit of configuration position (slot position) it is also identical.Therefore, believed by the system architecture to 2 PLC 10A, 10B Breath is compared, so as to determine whether the PLC acted as doubleization system.
But, also there is control institute in the unit (input block or output unit etc.) for being installed on elementary cell 11A, 11B Without using unit.It is thus possible to it is enough judge 2 PLC10A, 10B structure whether be structure doubleization system structure When, CPU element 13A, 13B and NE 14A, 14B required for structure doubleization system are compared, in their phases With in the case of, judge whether to act as doubleization system.In addition, elementary cell 11A, 11B can also add work to build two Unit required for change system again.
Furthermore it is also possible to indicate whether this implication for needed for the structure of doubleization system to system architecture information is additional Information.Fig. 6 is the figure for the other examples for representing system architecture information.Here, each PLC of Fig. 1 doubleization system is also showed that One example of 10A, 10B system architecture information.For example, Fig. 6 (a) shows PLC 10A system architecture information, Fig. 6 (b) shows Go out PLC 10B system architecture information.The species of elementary cell 11A, 11B is carried out as shown in fig. 6, system architecture packet contains The product that the product type title of identification, the species to the unit of each slot installation in elementary cell 11A, 11B are identified Model name, indicate whether whether doubleization of this implication for needed for doubleization needs information.In figure, whether doubleization needs Information is wanted as the unit required for the 〇 units represented are doubleization, × represent the unwanted unit of doubleization institute.Passing through this Kind of system structural information judges whether to make in the case that 2 PLC 10A, 10B act as doubleization system, as long as two It is that the unit of " needs " is compared to change whether need information to represent again.
Control system-standby system configuration part 108 is being determined as it being to be as doubleization by system architecture determination unit 107 In the case of the PLC for uniting and acting, using this PLC 10 product intrinsic information and other PLC 10 product intrinsic information, determine Fixed this PLC 10 is as control system or as standby system.Moreover, in the case where this PLC 10 turns into control system, Network setup information directly is used, in the case of as standby system, network setup information is changed.
Control system-use of standby system configuration part 108 can carry out 2 product intrinsic informations of size comparison, for example In the case where this PLC 10 product intrinsic information is big, control system is determined as, it is small in this PLC 10 product intrinsic information In the case of, it is determined as standby system.In addition it is also possible to which the random number generated by randomizer is intrinsic as product Information and mutually notify, control system/standby system is determined by the size of the random number.In addition, above-mentioned is an example, When determining control system/standby system, it can also consolidate in this PLC 10 product of the product intrinsic information than other PLC 10 Control system is determined as in the case of having information small, it is more intrinsic than other PLC 10 product in this PLC 10 product intrinsic information Standby system is determined as in the case that information is big.
In addition, be determined as in the case that this PLC 10 is standby system, to the network settings in network setup information Location sets new network settings address plus defined number.Control system-standby system configuration part 108 is arranged at Fig. 1 CPU Unit 13A, 13B.
Deng value processing unit 109 in the case where this PLC is control system, the value processing such as following are carried out, i.e. will control Data used in system are also sent to standby system in substantially real-time.Network 21 Deng value processing unit 109 and Fig. 1 is (general Network) communication timing (timing) matchingly carry out data synchronization.Fig. 1 network is arranged at Deng value processing unit 109 Unit 14A, 14B.
Below, the doubleization system constructing processing in the PLC 10 of this structure is illustrated.Fig. 7 is to represent embodiment party The flow chart of the example of the step of structure processing for the doubleization system that formula 1 is related to.In addition, in the following description, with Illustrated exemplified by processing in Fig. 1 PLC 10A.Substantially, in PLC 10B processing also with the processing phase in PLC 10A Together.
First, if by 2 PLC 10A, 10B being connected by network 21 power on, the initial of PLC 10A sets Determine processing unit 105 for example inherently to believe network setup information, system architecture information and product by broadcasting via communication unit 101 Breath is transmitted.Then, via communication unit 101 from other PLC 10B to network setup information, system architecture information and product Intrinsic information is received (step S11).
Then, in 106 pairs of setting content determination unit is received network setup information and network setup information storage part 102 Network setup information be compared, judge whether both content conflicts (whether identical) (step S12).Set in 2 networks Determine in the situation (No situation in step S12) that information does not conflict, setting content determination unit 106 is determined as 2 PLC10A, 10B The PLC constituted not as doubleization system, making them as common PLC system is acted (step S13), processing knot Beam.
On the other hand, in (Yes situation in step S12) in the case of 2 network setup information conflicts, system architecture Determination unit 107 judges whether 2 PLC 10A, 10B of conflict system architecture are identical (step S14).Here, system architecture is sentenced Determine the system architecture information for this PLC 10A that 107 pairs of portion is stored in system architecture information storage part 103 and connect in step s 11 Other PLC 10B received system architecture information is compared.In addition, when carrying out the comparison, as set forth above, it is possible to pass through The species of elementary cell 11A, 11B, CPU element 13A, 13B and NE 14A, 14B in system architecture information are compared Compared with, can also be compared by whole contents of system architecture information, can also as shown in Figure 6 only by doubleization whether Need that information represents is that the unit of " needs " is compared.
In the situation (No situation in step S14) that 2 PLC 10A, 10B system architecture are differed, system architecture Determination unit 107 carries out error notification (step S15), end processing.In the error notification, for example, carry out the logical of following purports Know, i.e. although doubleization system should be built, 2 PLC 10A, 10B system architecture are differed.
On the other hand, in 2 PLC 10A, 10B system architecture identical situation (Yes situation in step S14), Control system-standby system configuration part 108 carries out following processing using product intrinsic information, i.e. determine that this PLC 10A are Control system or standby system (step S16).
As the processing of control system/standby system decision, such as product information to this PLC 10A CPU element 13A and Other PLC 10B CPU element 13B product information is compared, big in this PLC 10A CPU element 13A product information In the case of, this PLC 10A are determined as control system, in the small situation of this PLC 10A CPU element 13A product information Under, this PLC 10A are determined as standby system.Can also be by the size of product information during decision control system/standby system Relation is in turn.Alternatively, it is also possible to without using CPU element 13A, 13B product information but use NE 14A, 14B's Product information, can also use the network inherent address such as MAC Address.
Alternatively, it is also possible to make to be set as this PLC 10A into that priority during control system is contained in product intrinsic information, lead to Cross and the priority is compared and control system/standby system is determined.For example, as preferential when being set as control system Level, can use CPU element 13A, 13B or NE 14A, 14B etc. version information.Even the production of identical type Product, most cases are that function is improved if version is new, and problem is improved compared with legacy version.Therefore, by version This new PLC setting high priority, so as to be improved and the less PLC 10 of problem using function in the controls.It is this Priority can arbitrarily be set by system designer.Moreover, can by making this priority be contained in product intrinsic information, from And use the favorite PLC 10 of system designer as control system.
Then, control system-standby system configuration part 108 is based on the result determined by step S16, for CPU element 13A is set as control system or standby system (step S17).In addition, control system-standby system configuration part 108 is in this PLC Under 10A is the situation (Yes situation in step S18) of control system, directly using set network settings address (step S19).In addition, control system-standby system configuration part 108 is in situation that this PLC 10A are standby systems (No in step S18 Situation) under, set network settings address is changed (step S20).For example, by set network settings The address that location adds after " 1 " is used as network settings address.Thereby, it is possible to be kept away between this PLC 10A and other PLC 10B Exempt from the conflict of network settings address, communicated between 2 PLC 10A, 10B.
After step S19 or S20, PLC 10A proceed by communication with other PLC 10B being connected via network 21 (step S21).If start communication, such as by ing value processing unit 109 using communicate after network 21 and progress two The values such as the data required for changing again processing.More than, the doubleization system constructing processing in PLC 10 terminates.
In addition, be connected in the input block of control system and the input block of standby system via cable with same instruments In the case of, the information from instrument is sent to the input block of control system and standby system.In addition, in the defeated of control system Go out unit and standby system output unit be connected via cable with same instruments in the case of, the only output unit of control system Instrument is will output information to, the output unit of standby system is not to instrument output information.In the above described manner, control system and treating Ensure the phase same sex of data between machine system.
In the above description, in case of the doubleization system for having enumerated form shown in Fig. 1.But, also have in each PLC Further connection controls the situation of the doubleization system of the structure of network.Fig. 8 is to schematically show embodiment 1 is related to two Change the figure of the other examples of the structure of system again.In fig. 8, it is mono- by being provided with power subsystem 12A, CPU in elementary cell 11A First 13A, NE 14A, NE 17A and other units 16A PLC 10A and with the PLC 10A identicals The PLC 10B of structure and build doubleization system.It is by doubleization between 2 PLC 10A, 10B NE 14A, 14B The system connection of network (communication line) 21.In addition, being connected with control network in 2 PLC 10A, 10B NE 17A, 17B 22.Multiple network remote website 31A~31C are connected with control network 22.
