Abstract

With the large-scale integration of fracturing unit's on-site construction, traditional industrial buses are increasingly unable to meet the requirements for the quantity transmission between various equipment in large-scale fracturing units, and different models of different equipment manufacturers cannot cooperate with each other as there are "Islands of information" in the control system. This article uses industrial Ethernet as the physical medium for data transmission. In addition, different equipment manufacturers use OPC as the core technology of the fracturing unit control system network, and set up an intelligent fracturing unit control system, so that the control network can quickly, accurately, and safely control the fracturing truck control system. The sand truck control system monitors and analyzes, saves, and prints the construction data in the vehicle instrument. At the same time, the network control system uses the vehicle instrument as the core of the network. It can control fracturing vehicles from different manufacturers. The sand mixer truck performs network control, which effectively avoids incompatibilities between various equipment manufacturers at the construction site.
