Among the many localized CPU chip companies, Loongson Zhongke is the only one with a completely independent instruction system, that is, the "Dragon Architecture" (LoongArch), which has truly solved the problem of stuck necks and truly mastered the root technology.
As the general public, you may have some understanding of Loongson's information products, including desktop and server high-performance processors, but you may not know much about Loongson's industrialized products and their ecology.
Recently, Loongson Zhongke held the 2024 Loongson Industrial Ecology Conference, which opened another window.
A total of nearly 400 people from industry users in energy, transportation, petroleum and petrochemical, equipment manufacturing, mining, water conservancy and other industrial fields, as well as a number of software and hardware suppliers, universities, scientific research institutes, and academic associations attended the meeting.
At present, the mainland is actively building a new industrial system and promoting the transformation of industrial digital intelligence, the key of which is "autonomy", including the localization of a full set of CPU processors, OS operating systems, industrial equipment, and industrial software, which is also an important foundation to support the high-quality development of new industrialization.
At this conference, Du Anli, vice president of Loongson, said that Loongson's independent industrial products and solutions based on independent instruction sets and CPUs, domestic operating systems and domestic software comprehensively cover various products such as industrial computers/servers, industrial control and network communications, industrial security, etc., and have been effectively implemented in many key industries and key application scenarios such as energy, transportation, water conservancy, petroleum and petrochemical, and intelligent manufacturing.
Based on Loongson CPU, RTU data acquisition equipment, industrial gateways, edge gateways, PLC, DCS main control, host computers, servers and other products have been applied to industrial control, energy, rail transit, petroleum and petrochemical and other fields.
In thermal power, hydropower, wind power and other power generation systems, Loongson CPU has begun to be applied, and it has been applied in batches in the fields of power transmission and transformation and power distribution.
For example, the wind turbine main control system controller is based on Loongson 2K1000LA, compatible with Loongson 2K1500, with the operation of loongOS+RT real-time patch, and the wind turbine border control system controller adopts the software and hardware combination of Loongson 2K0500, loongnix, RT, and IEC61499 to form an integrated solution for wind power intelligent AI algorithms.
In the fields of high-speed rail, subway, highway, and waterway transportation, Loongson CPU has carried out independent research and development, pilot work, and has begun to be applied in multiple scenarios, including high-speed rail on-board equipment, subway ATO automatic driving system, highway traffic ETC system, and so on.
At the scene, 37 Loongson ecological partners, including Zhongji Automation, Daolin Zhiyuan, Fujian Zhenshi, Shengbo Technology, Jiskaida, and Hualong Xunda, jointly released dozens of industrial computers, servers, and industrial controller products and solutions based on Dragon architecture.
Huaxiaxin, CLP Qixing, and ArcherMind Technology have released independent industrial control solutions based on "Dragon Architecture + Open Source Hongmeng". Among them, Huaxia Tianxin coal mine control solution is based on Loongson 2K1500 CPU, equipped with MineHarmony, which is based on the open source Hongmeng, and integrates special advanced control algorithms for underground, which can adapt to the complex underground operating environment of coal mines and provide reliable guarantee for coal mine production.
Based on the Loongson 2K1500CPU, the smart energy terminal system of CEC Qixing Power integrates the Xinghong EOS operating system developed based on the open source Hongmeng, providing data collection, precise control and data mining applications for energy monitoring, power supply guarantee and other services.
ArcherMind Technology's open-source HarmonyOS solution is based on Loongson 2K1500, which has powerful computing and communication capabilities, and can support the development and testing of various application scenarios.
During the conference, many ecological partners of Loongson focused on displaying characteristic products and solutions of industrial control based on Loongson processors.
Hualong Xunda demonstrated large, medium and small domestic PLCs based on Loongson processors, as well as HualongOS, an industrial operating system based on Open Hongmeng.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Shenzhen, Hualong Schindler has two major product lines.
In terms of hardware, it is mainly PLC industrial controllers, industrial computers, all-in-one machines, HMI (human-computer interaction), etc.
In terms of software, it is mainly based on the open Hongmeng HualongOS, as well as many industry application software on top of it, including JIC HMI Jupiter human-computer interaction system, JIC DAS Jupiter data acquisition system, JIC IAP PLC programming software, JIC LCP Jupiter low-code platform, JIC SCADA Jupiter data acquisition and monitoring system, and so on.
The large-scale PLC JIC 8010 and the supporting JIC JX20 IO system are oriented to high-end large-scale equipment control systems, and achieve 100% localized design and manufacturing.
It uses high-performance ones
Loongson 3A5000 processorWith domestic electronic components, domestic real-time operating system LoongOS, as well as Hualong Schindler's self-developed JIC RTE runtime and JIC IAP programming and development environment, it can drive 512 servo axes and 65,536 data points, leading the industry.
Small and medium-sized PLC 2010 is also 100% localized design and manufacturing, using Loongson 2K1500 processor, which can drive 32 servo axes and 4000 IOs.
In addition, there are small PLC 1010 based on Loongson 2K1000 and super large PLC 9010 based on Loongson 3A6000, which are also produced nationwide.
The live demonstration PLC controls multiple robotic arms at the same time.
Hualong Schindler's new generation of embodied intelligent v2.0 version of the robotic arm, including the body, motor, drive, HualongOS teach pendant, small PLC to form a full set of solutions, with the characteristics of intelligent openness, the price is only about 35,000 yuan, compared with the traditional closed 1.0 version of about 56,000 yuan, can save nearly 40% of the cost for customers.
Demonstration of industrial systems and software.
