1. design background
The swing attitude of the ship in the ocean, the hull of the wind and waves on the stability of the ship’s navigation, safety is of great significance. Hull in the ocean in different sports posture: horizontal, vertical, up and down on behalf of different sea level, the ship’s airworthiness level is an important indicator of marine ships. Therefore, in the design of ships, especially ocean-going ships, marine ship design, must be scientifically calculated its hull’s anti-storm level. But the calculation is only theoretical value, must be repeated after several sea storm test to be amended. This test is not only time-consuming, laborious, but also a lot of waste of financial resources. Some units in order to reduce expenses, the sea storm test to the lowest number, not only affects the integrity of the test data, and some data is not necessarily complete. In order to avoid this phenomenon, so that ocean and ocean ship design more scientific, time-saving, effort, provincial funding, we use the R & D automation of large practical PLC AnSH and the economy compact FX2NPLC, FR-E540 inverter, And the use of CC-Link field bus, developed a 50 meters long, 30 meters wide, 6 meters deep pond wave system, can simulate the real-time sea conditions of the storm, to achieve the ship design of the five-in-kind simulation system platform, not only can provide The ship design unit and the ship certification unit for real-time simulation of semi-physical test for the ship design to provide close to the actual sea conditions of the test site data, but also for the marine development unit for wave energy generation device development research. This kind of semi-physical distributed simulation platform system in foreign countries have been formed in the 1990s, ship design units in China is currently under trial work.
System composition and design
2.1 system components
In order to simulate the wind and waves, water flow, wave course and wave height in real time, the system has the following subsystems
1) wave-making system: the pool is equipped with three sets of dual-push plate high-power wave machine and low-power wave machine, large, small wave machine can produce a combination of different longitudinal wave propagation, the maximum wave up 0.3 meters, by the computer program control, can produce the model test required by the regular or irregular waves.
2) flow system: the pool is equipped with a set of high-pressure water flow system, in the pool wall on both sides of the uniform spray pipe, the pump from the thick pipe after the pressurized water spray from the spray pipe, caused in the pool Uniform water flow. The system can produce longitudinal and lateral flow, the maximum flow rate of 0.1 m / s. In addition, a local flow system is configured to accommodate high-speed water flow and the need for different flow tests.
3) Wind system: configure a set of mobile blower wind system. The maximum wind speed of up to 5 m / s, through the computer control system can simulate the spectrum.
4) trailer system: in the tow test can be carried out waves, waves and waves of the tow test, but also on the x, y direction of the adjustment of the towing drag test.
5) pool filtration system: the pool is equipped with mechanical filtration system.
6) wave elimination system: in the other side of the wave machine with a certain degree of slope of the grid-type smoke wave, so as to absorb the wave to prevent the generation of reflected waves.
2.2 system design
In order to achieve the above functions, the system uses hierarchical, sub-unit concept, the system to achieve true distributed control. Among them, the wave-making system, the flow sub-system and the wind sub-system, respectively, can be controlled by two PLC, the sea waves are waves, waves, ripple waves, in order to truly simulate the characteristics of sea conditions, taller waves Controlled by AnS PLC, small waves, ripple waves controlled by FX2N PLC. The faction system is similar. Only in this way can we simulate the tide of the two big tides in the sea. The process of the tide is: the output frequency of the FR-E540 frequency converter is controlled by the control signal of 0 ~ 10V output from the analog output function module of the PLC. The inverter real-time controls the speed of the three-phase asynchronous motor, To combat the water surface, the motor speed is different, resulting in two wave between the wave and the peak of the different, so that the three-phase asynchronous motor with different speeds of different wave head, wave, peak corresponding, therefore, two three Phase asynchronous motor combination of different speed can be real-time reproduction simulation of different sea conditions. The flowmaking system is also controlled by the AnSH PLC and the FX2N PLC to control the respective power pumps to form different water flows. The wind-making system is controlled by AnSH PLC to control high-power fan.
In order to improve the reliability, the control system is also designed manual standby speed control system to ensure that the computer failure does not affect the wave. When the computer fails, the switching device without manual intervention, switch to the manual standby speed control system, the operator can adjust the inverter speed through the potentiometer to maintain the normal wave-making process. Three system configurations consisting of AnSH PLC, FX2N PLC and FR-E540 frequency converters and three-phase asynchronous motors are shown in Fig. 1. The system configuration of the server and human-computer interaction server architecture is shown in Fig. AnSH PLC, FX2N PLC configuration diagram shown in Figure 2, Figure 3 shows.

A1SJHCPU is the most economical CPU component of the AnSH series. The unique feature of the A1SJHCPU is its CPU, power supply and substrate set as a whole, which significantly reduces the cost of manufacturing. AnSH uses Mitsubishi’s “Mitsubishi Sequential Processor Chip” (MSP) for sequential control and mathematical operations. AnSH is not only faster than AnS, but also increased the CC-Link special instructions, the original instruction is still retained (including PID operation, floating-point operations and trigonometric functions, etc.). At the same time built-in performance such as lithium batteries, backup RAM, user memory, real-time clock and a flexible communication port, so that the AnS series can adapt to a wide range of applications. The completeness of its special functional components makes the AnSH perfect for process control, position control and various other types of controls. Compared with similar products, the price is relatively high, which is our reason to choose AnSH. among them:

2.4 System reliability design
PLC output module within the small relay contacts are small, broken arc capability is poor, can not be directly used for plant ~ 220V ~ 380V circuit, you must use PLC to drive external relays, with external relay contacts drive ~ 380v load The At the same time more AC220V ~ 380V solenoid valve with its coil in series with the limit switch normally closed contact, solenoid valve coil power, spool action, is the internal contact with the valve to disconnect the circuit. In this case, to use a smaller contact relay to transfer the PLC’s output signal. The system uses a high-power thyristor device, PLC should stay away from strong interference sources. PLC can not be installed with the high voltage electrical appliances in the same switch cabinet, PLC should be away from the power line in the cabinet (the distance between the two should be greater than 200mm). And PLC installed in the same switchgear inductive components, such as relays, contactor coil, should be parallel RC arc suppression circuit. PLC I / O lines and high-power lines should be separated from the line, such as must be in the same trunking wiring, signal lines should use shielded cable.
