Description

A kind of Expert Rules PID constant pressure water supply system and method based on PLC
Technical field
The present invention relates to automation controls, and in particular to a kind of Expert Rules PID constant pressure water supply system and side based on PLC Method.
Background technique
In China, because of the management in the construction in city and city, needed for the water source of resident living or workshop production It is all to be provided by the water supply network of Running-water Company with water.But due to the limitation of technology, the hydraulic pressure of water supply be can only achieve 0.35-0.4Mpa is only the offer that user lives at eight layers or less and supplies water.Forward, city is on the middle and senior level for the big step of nation-building Building construction is constantly added, and provides the water supply and fire-fighting confession that feed pressure has been unable to satisfy skyscraper with current water system The requirement of water.And in the water system of China small and medium-sized cities comparatively the equipment of control section is relatively backward, for equipment Control mainly rely on manual control.It is too low to control precision, therefore supply equipment is in high loaded process state, water pipe sometimes Interior hydraulic pressure is in superpressure state, and not only inefficiency is also very big to the consumption of the energy for consequence, but also urban pipe network is chronically at The operation of superpressure state, the service life that pipe network uses can also shorten.
Foreign countries to water system construction with state-of-the-art technology be exactly varying speed and constant pressure feed water technology.According to day The continuous improvement of automatization level in preceding production, converter technique obtain rapid development, in production of living it may be said that most There is the figure of frequency converter.More it is worth happiness, converter technique has been applied in water system, can be with according to frequency converter The adjusting realized and carry out revolving speed to motor is adjusted to frequency, to realize the regulation of the water flow provided water pump, enables system While automatization level of uniting improves, stability, the efficiency of system are also improved, also has indirect help to the saving of the energy, but It there are the shortcomings that be that cannot achieve the adaptive behavior of pid parameter, and can not carry out PID relevant parameter online from whole It is fixed.
The method used that mainly supplies water at present mainly has:
(1) manual control mode, it is low that this mode controls precision, and inefficiency is big to energy consumption and public supply mains Load is very big.
(2) Frequency Converter Control mode, this mode frequency are adjusted using frequency converter the adjusting realized to pump rotary speed Reach the control to water flow pressure, this mode is improved compared with first way the degree of automation, more stability and high efficiency, but this side Formula disadvantage can not make pid parameter adaptive, no decree pid parameter online self-tuning etc..
(3) PLC+ Frequency Converter Control mode, this mode carry out processing to traditional pid parameter using PLC Programming and issue It is controlled into frequency converter, two ways is more efficient earlier above for this mode, and the degree of automation is more increased, and disadvantage utilizes PLC pairs Traditional PI D programming can not still carry out the adaptive processing operation of online self-tuning to pid parameter.
Summary of the invention
