Factory Automation

Industry 4.0 is a high-tech strategy proposed by the German government; This concept is to achieve computerization of traditional manufacturing industries. The goal is to establish an automated system to achieve a smart factory. It integrates the traditional basic automation technology, Internet of Things and Internet services, and establishes an information physical integration system. It can connect manufacturing, enterprises, logistics, supply chain, optimize performance, and save costs and energy. To complete the above tasks, multiple functions are required, such as rich communication interfaces, IP based architecture, and high computing performance. Traditional controllers such as PLCs cannot meet such requirements, however, these functions are fundamental features of PC technology. Therefore, in the era of Industry 4.0, PC based systems are undoubtedly the technological choice.

Jizhida integrates fieldbus technology into our industrial PC platform as the hardware foundation for the controller. It integrates the high reliability and PC technology features of fieldbus networks. Therefore, the Jizhida factory automation solution is a comprehensive IP automation system that is compatible with traditional control networks and uses PROFINET, PROFIBUSEthernet/IP, DeviceNet,   Interface with EtherCAT. We have strengthened the CODESYS control algorithm and provided a Schneider like algorithm, ABB, BECKHOFF,   And the control kernel of B&R. Users can easily integrate Jizhida's intelligent factory solutions seamlessly into their existing factory automation applications or new projects. And, Jizhida's solution has the same reliability as major control system suppliers. We can provide users with more choices, more flexible and cost-effective products.

Jizhida's solution is compatible with fieldbus protocols. In other words, users can use Siemens, Allen-Bradley, IO system compatible with BECKHOFF or other compatible IO modules. If users need a complete solution, VIPA's SLIO system provided by Jizhida can meet their remote I/O needs. VIPA SLIO adopts high-speed backplane bus, compact size design saves installation space, and the detachable I/O board docking station design is easy to maintain and replace. Meanwhile, the VIPA SLIO system can be integrated with PROFINET, PROFIBUS，Ethernet/IP，DeviceNet，EtherCAT， Paired with Modbus. It can integrate with Jizhida's NIFE PC controller to form a complete control station compatible with fieldbus networks.

In response to these technology alliances, Jizhida solutions can easily integrate multiple fieldbus protocols into one system and share different control data and enterprise clouds. It can establish an intelligent and all IP factory to help users achieve the goal of a smart Industry 4.0 compatible factory.
