Fifth, the redundant system and hot backup system in profession in and so on petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy certain systems, the request control device has the extremely high reliability. If the control system breaks down, will create the production suspension, the raw material massive wastes or the equipment trouble, will create the enormous economic loss to the enterprise. But depends on the enhancement control system hardware's reliability to satisfy the above request is only not enough, because the PLC itself reliable enhancement has certain limit. Uses the redundant system or the hot backup system can solve the above problem quite effectively.

(1) Redundancy control system in redundancy control system, entire PLC control system (or in system most important part, if the CPU module) of two set of identical system composition. Two CPU module use same user program multi-tasking, one is advocates CPU, another is spare CPU; advocates the CPU work, but the spare CPU output is forbidden, when advocates CPU breaks down, spare CPU automatic investment movement. This cut process is controlled by the redundancy processing unit RPU, the switching time in 1~3 scanning periods, the I/O system's cut is also completes by RPU.

Hot backup system in the hot backup system, two CPU with the communication connection connects in together, which is at circular telegram condition .When the system presents the breakdown, advocates CPU informs spare CPU to make the spare CPU work. This cut process is not too generally quick, but its structure is simpler than the redundant system.

Under a lot of circumstances we are total to like to adopt the string to combine the conversion chip to carry on deliver, under this kind of circumstance not need us to carry on to deposited the machine to establish too and complicatedly, but carry on the data exchanges through the data transmission instruction directly, but is not a very viable way in the correspondence, because the PLC of the other party must has been wait for your data exportation at the time of sending out the data, it can't do other works.

The interruption is not only a, sometimes existing jointly with the hour several inside break, break off to have the preferred Class, they will carry out the interruption of the higher Class according to person's request. This kind of breaks off the medium interruption to also became to break off the set. The Class that certainly break off is relevant according to various resources of CPU with internal PLC, also following a heap of capacity size of also relevant fasten.

The contents that break off has a lot of kinds, for example the exterior break off, correspondence in of send out and accept the interruption and settle and the clock that count break off, still have the WDT to reset the interruption etc., they enriched the CPU to respond to the category while handle various business. Speak thus perhaps you can't comprehend the internal structure and operation orders of the interruption completely also, we do a very small example to explain.

When we are work a work piece, giving the PLC a signal, counting PLC inner part the machine add 1 to compute us for a day of workload, a count the machine and can solve problem in brief, certainly they also can keep the data under the condition of dropping the electricity, urging the data not to throw to lose, this is also what we hope earnestly.

The PLC still has the function that the high class counts the machine, being us while accept some dates of high speed, the high speed that here say is the data of the in all aspects tiny second class, for example the bar code scanner is scanning the data continuously, calculating high-speed signal of the data processor DSP etc., we will adopt the high class to count the machine to help we carry on count. It at the PLC carries out the procedure once discover that the high class counts the machine to should of interruption, will let go of the work on the hand immediately. The trapezoid diagram procedure that passes by to weave the distance again explains the high class for us to carry out procedure to count machine would automatic performance to should of work, thus rise the Class that the high class counts the machine to high one Class.
