Design of Multi-Line Elastic Belt Conveying Control System for Knitting Machine Based on I2C Protocol

Abstract

In order to solve the problems of fixed speed, single-way conveying, conveying speed and loom speed mismatch of knitting machine elastic belt conveying device, a design scheme of multi-line elastic band conveying control system based on I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) communication is proposed. The scheme realizes the real-time communication between the control host and the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal output slave through the I2C protocol communication of the master-slave MCU (Microcontroller Unit). The slave machine controls the stepper motor through the subdivision circuit and the drive circuit, and uses the stepping motor to speed up and down the differential. Algorithm and speed matching algorithm to realize multi-speed variable speed elastic belt conveyor control system with good speed matching. At the same time, because I2C protocol has easy scalability, it can realize multi-channel through bus analog communication and expansion between MCU I/O ports. delivery. Finally, by setting up simulation experiments, it is verified that the speed matching between the stepping motor and the knitting machine needle is better. When the stepping motor driver (TB6600) is 32 subdivided and the duty ratio of the PWM signal is 60%, the motor speed is stable, low vibration and noise. The system can play a positive role in improving fabric tightness, improving fabric production efficiency and adjusting fabric morphology.

Research and Application of Information Model of a Lithium Ion Battery Intelligent Manufacturing Workshop Based on OPC UA

“…Document [15] discussed the information modeling and standardization of a digital workshop; combed the ways and methods of standardization; compared the modeling methods of CIM-OSA, UML, and OPC UA; pointed out the advantages and scalability of OPC UA; and defined the development direction of information model standardization. Document [16] used OPC UA to model the information of knitting equipment, which was oriented to the equipment and control layer and solves the problem of equipment monitoring. However, it failed to consider the production process and did not reflect the function of an intelligent manufacturing workshop.…”

Front-End Gateway System With Serial Communication Protocol Conversion and Edge Computing Platforms

“…The proposed front-end gateway ASIC with serial communication protocol conversion was compared against relevant methods proposed in previous studies (Table V). Similar to the designed ASIC, the methods of [7] and [25] use protocol conversion, and the methods of [19] and [26] are designed for data communication through the I 2 C protocol. These methods were implemented on devices that were different from our device.…”

Feasibility of conductive embroidered threads for I2C sensors in microcontroller-based wearable electronics

“…I 2 C, indeed, is one of the most commonly employed protocols in WHDs thanks to the fact that it exploits just two different lines to synchronously transmit data between slaves and masters, thus allowing for the integration of a large number of sensors and devices. These two lines, called serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL), are respectively used to transmit data in both directions and to share a clock generated by the master [10,11]. Among all the integrated sensors used in wearable context, photoplethysmographic (PPG) ones represent the most widely employed sensors integrated within WHDs and exploiting the I 2 C communication protocol, given the high level of contribution they can provide.…”
