ABSTRACT

In view of the defects of the current three-axis motion devices that they could only be applied to on-site operation, operated complicate and has low data visualization, a three-axis motion device, whose main control part is PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), that can be remotely operated and monitored was designed. In order to solve the problem that the operator is unable to operate in the field, the remote control of the device based on the web-sending function of the Siemens PLC was implemented. Secondly, a friendly human-computer interaction interface for the flaw of the complicated operation was designed, which enabled the operator to read and adjust the relevant parameters quickly. Finally, a physical prototype was built according to the design, thereafter the device, through a quantity of tests, was proved to have advantages of reliable structure, simple and convenient on-site control, and stable and safe remote control.
