In the field of modern industrial automation, the "operation efficiency" of the control system directly determines the throughput and processing accuracy of the production line. FATEK M PLC (Hard PLC) relies on its disruptivePure hardware execution architecture, achieving computing output far exceeding that of traditional architecture in unit time, officially opening the door to industrial control."Nanosecond level"era.
FATEK M PLC (Hard PLC) is an industrial programmable logic controller that adopts a pure hardware execution architecture. The control instructions are directly driven and executed by the hardware logic circuit without operating system instruction analysis and scheduling. The basic instruction processing speed is 0.8 nanoseconds, and 3,556 program loops can be completed within a fixed time unit of 1ms per millisecond.
The computing output of M PLC per unit time is more than 5 times that of Soft PLC. In order to verify the efficiency advantage of M PLC under high load operation, we designed a rigorous"Command Cycle Stress Test", compare Hard PLC (M PLC) and Soft PLC (software PLC) on the market.
The exact same sample code (including logic control, arithmetic operations, and data processing instructions) runs on both architectures of controllers. by measuringper millisecond (1ms) Within this constant time unit, the number of times the PLC can complete the program cycle is used to evaluate its actual operating efficiency.
The extremely fast instructions of M PLC come from two underlying mechanisms: a basic instruction processing speed of 0.8 nanoseconds and the elimination of ineffective losses in the software system.
The basic instruction processing speed of M PLC is only 0.8 nanoseconds (0.0008μs). This extreme responsiveness comes from its "hard-core" characteristics: instructions are directly driven and executed by the hardware logic circuit, without the need for instruction analysis and scheduling by the operating system.
Traditional Soft PLC consumes a lot of CPU resources for system self-test and memory management before executing logic. M PLC realizes "execution of instructions", fully investing computing power into user logic, and establishing an extremely high output ratio per unit time.
Within a fixed time unit of 1ms per millisecond, M PLC can complete 3,556 program cycles, while Soft PLC can complete 690 times. The operating performance of M PLC is more than 5 times that of Soft PLC. This gap stems from the pure hardware execution architecture of M PLC. Instructions are directly driven by hardware logic circuits without the need for instruction analysis and scheduling by the operating system.
The basic instruction processing speed of M PLC is 0.8 nanoseconds (0.0008μs). This speed comes from its "hard core" characteristics: instructions are directly driven and executed by hardware logic circuits, without instruction analysis and scheduling by the operating system, so the response capability is maintained at the nanosecond level.
Won't. Unlike software architecture that is easily affected by system load fluctuations, the efficiency of M PLC is always constant, ensuring that the production rhythm is as accurate as clockwork.
M PLC is suitable for precision machining, production lines that require microsecond-level synchronization and high yield, as well as scenarios that require processing more complex axis control logic and visual feedback. The limitation lies in its pure hardware architecture, and functional changes and expansions require corresponding hardware support; if the scenario requires frequent software layer function expansion, Soft PLC needs to be evaluated together.
The high efficiency of M PLC is not only a numerical leader, but also a leap in actual productivity:
The processing speed of 0.8ns ensures microsecond-level synchronization in precision processing and greatly improves product yield.
Performing more than 5 times the computing tasks per unit time means that an M PLC can handle more complex axis control logic and visual feedback.
Unlike software architecture that is easily affected by system load fluctuations, the efficiency of M PLC is always constant, ensuring that the production rhythm is as accurate as clockwork.
