However, these traditional circulation pump control systems basically use relays as the main control components, and a logic control unit composed of dozens of various types of relays, contactors, switches, buttons and wiring to control the circulation pump, and the process system circulation pump The number of typical configurations is one positive and one negative, instead of multiple circulating pumps to form a circulating pump group. This type of control system has the following problems: (1) Since the control system contains a large number of relays, contactor components and their connections Line, in the work project, the frequent start / stop of relays and contactors can easily cause damage and eventually lead to failure to work normally. The stability and reliability of the control system are poor. The cause of the failure is difficult, and the maintenance is difficult, which seriously affects the safe operation of the process system; (2) This type of control method can only perform some simple sequential control on the start / stop of the pump, and the function is single, and it is difficult to realize some special processes of vanadium redox flow batteries. The adjustment of the necessary parameters cannot be well adapted to the requirements of various operating conditions; (3) This type of control system does not have visual operation prompts, the operation control is complicated, and the processing speed is slow, especially the state transition time is long , greatly resulting in low work efficiency; (4) This type of control system does not have a flexible remote monitoring method, and it is difficult to realize remote monitoring and remote maintenance; (5) This type of control system does not have automatic fault diagnosis and recovery functions, and it is difficult to avoid faults Misjudgment and missed judgment make the system reliability low and it is difficult to realize unattended
