MR-Smart Manufacturing Training System for Smart Manufacturing Convergence Technology Training Combined with Automation PLC Technology and IOT Technology}

The present invention relates to an MR-smart manufacturing practice device for education of smart manufacturing convergence technology that combines automation PLC technology and IOT technology, and more specifically, an automated PLC that leads the open source ICT technology and smart manufacturing process, which is the core technology of the 4th industrial revolution. It is to provide an educational device for basic and applied learning of core technologies of smart manufacturing such as smart factory, smart farm, and smart grid by fusion of technologies that interface technologies.

The Internet is evolving from a human-centered connection network in which humans create and consume information, to an Internet of Things (IoT) network that exchanges and processes information between distributed components such as objects.

IoT is a smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, smart grid, healthcare, smart home appliance, advanced medical service and smart factory through the convergence and combination of existing IT (information technology) technology and various industries. Etc. It is applied in various fields.

Technologies such as sensing technology, wired/wireless communication and network infrastructure, service interface technology, and security technology are required to implement IoT, and education on these technologies is essential.

IoT technology requires training in the form of a combination of ICT (Information and Communications Technology), hardware, and software, but conventionally, objects can be controlled using a programmed function or programmed software to control various sensors and control the sensors. A platform has been developed that can individually educate each PLC control function to be controlled.

As a training device using open hardware, a PC-integrated Arduino training device is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1790435.

The technology includes a device main body provided with a monitor mounting portion on a rear portion of an upper surface and the Arduino kit mounting portion on a front portion of the upper surface; A monitor mounted on the monitor mounting unit; A micro-embedded system located inside the device body and electrically connected to the monitor; An auxiliary memory device connected to the micro-embedded system and mounted with an operating system; A power supply located inside the main body of the device; Includes an Arduino kit mounted on the Arduino kit mounting unit, and the micro-embedded system includes a CPU (central processing unit), an input terminal for connecting an input device, and an auxiliary terminal for connecting the auxiliary memory device. do.

In addition, as a PLC training device, a PLC automation application training device is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1782986.

And a PLC module driving each module of the automation system.

However, each of the above technologies provides an environment for programming or an automated training device through an implemented program, and an integrated training device capable of practicing by applying a PLC while implementing a program is required.

In addition, application circuits, etc., need to be implemented on a breadboard while visually checking the supplied manual (or booklet). Actual electronic components (resistance, capacitor, transistor, semiconductor IC diode, etc.) inserted into the breadboard and described in the manual must be implemented. Due to the difficulty of matching electronic components, there is a problem that the learning effect according to practice is deteriorated.

On the other hand, the OSHW (Open Source Hardware) field is showing continuous growth through grafting and convergence with various fields in recent years, and furthermore, the field of application is greatly expanded in conjunction with the Internet of Things (IoT) market.

However, apart from industrial sites that require convergence, the existing educational equipment market is not responding to these changes.

In other words, as the era of the 4th industrial revolution comes, the need for an ICT convergence education device to cope with rapidly changing industrial sites such as smart factory and smart manufacturing is emphasized, but there are educational and practice devices that enable the convergence of electric and electronic fields. As a result, the need for this is emerging.

Specifically, conventional training and training devices only exist for a single item of PLC (automation) or a single item of ICT (open source platform), so a training device capable of fusion education between PLC (automation) and ICT (open source platform) is required. Became.
