Application of Vacuum Computer Control in Vacuum Sponge Nickel Plating Zheng Xin (Lanzhou Vacuum Equipment Co., Ltd., Lanzhou 730050, China) Application in this system. With the development of society, the amount of batteries is increasing, and the requirements for batteries are getting higher and higher. For example, the capacity is large and small, and there is no pollution. Sponge nickel is an important material for nickel-metal hydride, nickel-cadmium, and other rechargeable batteries. The quality of the battery has a great influence on the quality of the battery. Using the vacuum magnetron sputtering method as a process for preparing the sponge nickel can solve the problem of the trace element pollution in the sponge nickel produced by the method of electroless plating or conductive coating, and the battery is improved. The number of charging times and the service life can also eliminate the environmental pollution problems caused by the original method. With huge economic and social benefits, our company has developed a domestic equipment process requirements. The manufacturing process of sponge nickel is to first plate a layer of nickel on the sponge to make the sponge conductive, and then apply a large amount of plating on the sponge. Nickel, and finally burned sponge, to get a grid of sponge nickel This equipment uses a vacuum coating method to complete the sponge conductive process. The equipment consists of a unwinding chamber, a magnetron sputtering chamber, a winding chamber, a vacuum pumping system, and an electronic control system. The substrate (sponge) that is plated is discharged from the unwinding chamber and coated by a magnetron sputtering chamber. In the final income rewinding room, in this process, the tension on the sponge is kept constant and very small. This is called a “zero-tension transmission system.†At the same time, a large amount of gas released from the sponge is immediately pumped away to maintain the necessary vacuum. The sponge should be plated with nickel on both sides and must be plated through. There must not be an unplated sponge on the sponge to ensure a certain amount of nickel, so that the resistance reaches the required conductivity of the next process. As shown, this control system is a distributed control system, that is, the vacuum system is controlled and protected by the vacuum part PLC system. The power supply part PLC system realizes the control and protection of the power system, and the transmission part computer system realizes the control of the winding system. Protection, the overall operation of the station to manage, monitor the various parts, the summary of the storage of various parts of the data and print out the benefits of doing so is that all parts work independently, can be Commissioning, part of the failure will not affect the work of other parts, the upper operator station real-time monitoring K Bu K4 oil diffusion pump; Z Bu Z3 Roots pump; X Bu X4 rotary vane pump; H1H2 spool valve pump; V1 BU V41 high vacuum valve ; V12-V42 pre-pump valve; V13-43 pre-stage valve; V14V44 electromagnetic band air release valve; V15-V25 bypass valve; V126 slide valve pump flapper valve; V17V27 spool valve pump inflation valve; VJ Bu V J3 throttling Valve; VF Bu VF4 inflatable valve vacuum system 3 target power control system This equipment target power supply system uses magnetron sputtering special power supply i This power supply bidirectional pulse output, with rapid arc extinguishing, automatic recovery, over current, over voltage, over temperature Other protection functions, each target current can be monotonous or can be used for target dual-target modulation. The target and pulse power are all conducive to sponge plating. The power control system also uses the same company's FOPLC system. The system can control the voltage of each target in real time. , current, duty cycle and various alarm signals are transmitted to the upper operating station, and the upper computer's switching command and power supply current setting values ​​are accepted in real time, and each target is controlled to output according to the set value. 24 Transmission Control System Because the sponge is easily deformed by stress, the metal mesh after magnetron sputtering is nickel plated is destroyed, so that the sponge nickel produced cannot meet the quality requirements. The drive system computer is the working platform of the system. Complete the linkage control of the servo motor and assume all the monitoring work of the system. The communication interface is connected with the host distributed control computer in the form of RS485 to realize data intercommunication.

The signal is exchanged through a special isolation interface board. The communication between the power supply part PLC system and the host operating station is transmitted through the optical fiber, and the rest is transmitted through the standard twisted pair cable. The computer system is individually well grounded. In addition, the computer module and programmable controller module that we choose are all strong anti-interference ability, and the input and output are electrically isolated. By adopting the above measures, the interference problem has been well solved and the anti-jamming performance of the computer system fully meets the requirements of the system. 5 Conclusion The sponge nickel that has been operating reliably and stably for two years has already been delivered to users.
