4. Key issues
Question 1: What are the core differences between the three capacity configurations (C01/C02/C03) of VP6F1900/1905? How to select based on project requirements?
answer
Core difference: The number of labels (all 18000) and I/O points (all analog 1760 points/contact 4096 points) for the three types of configurations are completely the same, only the number of functional blocks and the number of control drawing options are different:
Standard type (C01): 5500 functional blocks, 200 control graphics (non expandable);
Expansion type (C02): 7000 functional blocks, 200 control graphics (optional 300/400/500);
Large type (C03): 9000 functional blocks, 200 control graphics (optional 300/400/500).
Selection principle:
Small projects (≤ 5500 functional blocks, ≤ 200 control graphics): Choose C01 standard type;
Medium sized project (function blocks 5501-7000, control drawing needs to be expanded): choose C02 expansion type;
Large scale projects (7001-9000 functional blocks, complex control logic): Choose C03 large type;
Possible future expansion: prioritize CO2/C03, or upgrade from C01 through an extended license.
Question 2: Features of VP6F1900 (N-IO compatibility Late Binding、 What engineering pain points does wireless PID compensation solve? What are the applicable scenarios?
answer
N-IO compatibility function:
Pain point: Traditional I/O modules have fixed signal types and poor adaptability;
Solution: Single module supports AI/AO/DI/DO multi signal types, and channel level adapters can be used to extend special signals (such as thermocouples);
Applicable scenarios: New projects with complex signal types that require flexible expansion.
Late Binding Technology:
Pain point: Change in I/O list leads to rework of control logic and delays in construction;
Solution: First complete the control logic design, determine the I/O list, and then allocate I/O through software;
Applicable scenario: Engineering projects with frequent changes in I/O requirements.
Wireless PID compensation (ZWOPID):
Pain point: Wireless communication is prone to packet loss, leading to unstable PID control;
Solution: Built in packet loss compensation mechanism, stable process response when restoring communication;
Applicable scenario: PID control loop using wireless field devices (such as remote tank pressure/liquid level control).
