Traditional transmission line wire crimping is done manually, and its crimping accuracy and consistency are difficult to ensure. To this end, an automatic crimping control system for transmission line conductors was designed, which took Siemens S7-1200 as the controller, took fuzzy PID as the core control algorithm, and applied the SCL language of Protherm platform for the programming and realization of fuzzy PID control algorithm. The designed system could set crimping parameters through the monitoring interface of the upper computer, realizing the functions of automatic movement of the slide table, automatic crimping of wires, automatic measurement of the distance between wires and edges, etc., and the real-time change curves, the current variable values and the crimping status in the operation process of the system could be viewed in the monitoring interface. Experimental results show that the designed system can adaptively and dynamically adjust the control parameters to achieve precise control of wire crimping, improving crimping accuracy and reducing the labor costs.
