Huawei and Beckhoff Team Up to Showcase Key Technologies of Future Smart Factory: Wireless PLC Based on 5G Technology

[Huawei and Beckhoff teamed up to demonstrate the key technologies of future smart factories: Wireless PLC based on 5G technology] [April 23, 2018, Germany] Huawei and Beckhoff Automation Co., Ltd. today demonstrated an ability to realize smart factories in the future. Key technology: Wireless programmable logic controller (PLC) based on 5G technology. During the successful proof-of-concept trial at the Hannover trade fair, the two companies demonstrated a prototype of a 5G-based wireless industrial network between two collaborating PLCs, replacing traditional cable communication methods. Compared with the current wired network systems, direct integration of cellular technology in PLC will enable industrial automation in a more economical and environmentally friendly way.

"At present, wireless PLCs tend to use low-power, short-distance transmission technologies such as ZigBee, and 5G technology as its replacement technology will bring many benefits, such as the expansion of more efficient connectivity remote control and URLLC (ultra-high reliability ultra-low Communication coverage for time-delay communication. A delay of as little as 1 millisecond will reduce the operator's response time to events and enable safer operation automation and immediate fault diagnosis,” said Pierce Owen, principal analyst at ABI Research.

Over the past few decades, manufacturers have gradually changed the way they do business through lean manufacturing, digitalization, and now the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). However, throughout this process, they still face the same challenges: maximize productivity and efficiency, adapt to customer orders and meet changing needs, and minimize downtime. Wirelessly and efficiently communicating between machines, machines and plant operators can satisfy their need for safe production while minimizing costs.

Zhou Yuefeng, chief marketing officer of Huawei’s wireless network product line, said: “The successful PoC test we conducted at the Hannover Messe is a milestone in the joint innovation project between Beckhoff and Huawei, which validates the application of real-time control based on cellular networks in smart manufacturing. "Benford has evaluated the application of a variety of advanced communication technologies in the field of industrial automation. According to a joint test conducted at Beckhoff Labs, the 5G live demonstration highlighted some important highlights of the new technology; achieving response times The delay performance is as low as 1ms and clock synchronization is 500ns, said Dr. Guido Beckmann, Senior Control System Architect at Beckhoff.

The Ethernet communication in the second layer in the ISO model implements communication between standard PLCs through the EtherCAT Automation Protocol protocol, thereby enabling a motion control system that remotely controls one of the automation and high performance application scenarios.

Beckhoff is looking forward to new applications of wireless communications implemented by the goals set by the 5G group: for example, horizontal communication between factory machines or vertical communication between devices and the global cloud. Device monitoring through the addition of (additional) sensors can be implemented wirelessly, for example with low delay times for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. The first result of cooperation with Huawei Labs X confirmed these assumptions.

Water-cooled Capacitor

Water-cooled capacitor is supercapacitor is a capacitor with a capacity of thousands of farads.According to the principle of capacitor, capacitance depends on the distance between the electrode and electrode surface area, in order to get such a large capacitance, as far as possible to narrow the distance between the super capacitor electrode, electrode surface area increased, therefore, through the theory of electric double layer and porous activated carbon electrode.
