Intelligent controllers are core components in various fields such as home appliances, smart homes, automotive electronics, and power tools. In recent years, the development of various application markets has led to a sustained increase in demand for intelligent controllers, while the introduction of industry related policies has promoted the continuous expansion of the market scale of the intelligent controller industry. What exactly is an intelligent controller? What is its technical principle? This article will provide you with a detailed introduction.
Definition of Intelligent Controller
Intelligent controller is a computer control unit built into electronic devices, which obtains information such as device working status, command execution results, and environmental data through interfaces, executes internal control programs, outputs control signals to control devices, and achieves automatic control of controlled device parameters (such as temperature, motion, lighting, etc.).
Intelligent controllers generally consist of two main parts: microcontroller chips and execution circuits. The microcontroller chip carries the operation of control programs and outputs control signals; The execution circuit consists of isolation, amplification chips, power devices, and resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc., which are responsible for isolating and enhancing the output of control signals.
Working principle and classification of intelligent controllers
Compared to traditional mechanical controllers, intelligent controllers can achieve more comprehensive control of complex parameter characteristics through the computational processing power of internal processors.
For example, in order to achieve the best taste of rice, the new type of rice cooker requires precise control of heating temperature at different times. Compared to traditional mechanical control, which can only achieve linear control, the use of intelligent controllers can achieve more accurate and intelligent temperature control.
The constantly emerging intelligent control algorithms and chip devices with increasingly powerful computing power have led to the rapid development of intelligent controllers. At the same time, the introduction of industry related policies has promoted the continuous expansion of the market size of the intelligent controller industry. According to Frost&Sullivan's prediction, the global intelligent controller market is expected to reach a size of 2 trillion US dollars by 2024, and the domestic intelligent controller market will reach 3.8 trillion yuan. In summary, intelligent controllers can help improve automation levels, optimize control strategies, and achieve intelligent decision-making and regulation in various fields, thereby enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving safety.
