This document by Consen Automation Control details the selection and application solutions for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) in industrial settings. It focuses on three major brands: Siemens, Rockwell Automation, and General Electric (GE), outlining their suitability for Process Control Systems (PCS) and Compressor Unit Control Systems.
The guide covers specific model series such as the Siemens S7-300/400/1500, Rockwell ControlLogix, and GE PAC RX3i. It provides detailed typical configurations for hardware setups, including controllers, I/O modules, communication networks (Ethernet, PROFIBUS, ControlNet), and software requirements for both redundant and non-redundant systems. This manual is written in Chinese.
| Siemens S7 Series Models | LOGO, S7-200, S7-1200, S7-1500, S7-300, S7-400 |
|---|---|
| Rockwell PLC Series | ControlLogix, Guard, CompactLogix, Micro Logix |
| Recommended S7 Series for Small Compressors | S7-300/400 or S7-1500 |
| Recommended Rockwell Series for Small Compressors | ControlLogix Series |
| Recommended GE Series for Small Compressors | PAC RX3i Series |
| Siemens Software for PCS | PCS7 (includes STEP7 and WINCC) |
| Rockwell Software for ControlLogix | RSLogix5000 |
The S7-300/400 or S7-1500 series is generally selected for small electric drive compressor control or conventional PCS control.
The ControlLogix series is generally selected for small electric drive compressor control or conventional PCS control.
The PAC RX3i series is generally selected for small electric drive compressor control or conventional PCS control.
No, the S7-300 series does not have SIL certification and can only be used for PCS control; an additional configuration is needed for an independent SIS system.
