Is Xiaobai, who is just getting involved in the LED screen, always going crazy at the construction site? How can the position of this controller be more difficult to guess than his girlfriend’s thoughts? Last week, I saw the master of the engineering team use a metal detector to find the controller, and the power supply wire of the display screen was cut... Today we will break it and break it and talk about this. After reading it, you will be more clear than the installation worker you have worked for three years!
Core question: Why do controllers always like to play hide and seek?
This has to start with the design logic: it must be prevented from accidental touch and facilitate maintenance. Common hiding points include these routines:
Golden Triangle Area Positioning Method:
Standing facing the screen, the outermost box on the right hand side (1.2-1.5 meters above the ground)
The red PCB board inside the box has a heat sink. The controller is
Key tip: Don’t pry a box with fingerprint lock!
Modular splicing screen egg:
There is an alternate interface on the back of each sub-screen (black slot marked with CTRL)
The main controller is usually hidden in the starting module number 001
When encountering a circular screen, look at the starting point of splicing
Special screenshots:
Transparent screen controller is inlaid with metal frame mezzanine (the frame has raised buttons)
The main control of the floor tiles screen is hidden at the edge of the stage maintenance port
The controller of the rental screen is integrated inside the airbox handle
▍Shopping mall advertising screen
• Controller location: 90% in the fire escape iron cabinet
• Operation tips:
One swipe (magnetic card unlock)
Second turn (blue knob clockwise to the end)
Three waits (30 seconds to start up)
▍Stadium fence screen
• Anti-human design: controller next to drain at the bottom of the auditorium
• Emergency Plan:
→ Check IP65 waterproof glue strips on rainy days
→ Find emergency restart key with fluorescent mark
▍Transparent window screen
• Three hidden mechanisms:
① The controller disguises as a commodity price tag
② Integrated on the back of the AR interactive sensor
③ Need to press both ends of the border at the same time for 5 seconds
Q: What should I do if I can’t find the controller?
Following this process can solve 90% of the problems:
Check the power supply link
→ Touch the distribution box temperature (disconnect power immediately after exceeding 50℃)
→ Use a multimeter to measure the output voltage (the fluctuation exceeds 5% will trigger protection)
→ Look at the controller indicator (green light always on = normal)
Check signal interference
Focus on these three types of interference sources:
• 5G base station within 2 meters
• High power motor equipment
• Unshielded 220V strong wire
Check firmware version
Frequently Asked Questions in Old Systems:
Check the heat dissipation system
Controller temperature alarm threshold:
• 65℃ trigger frequency down
• Force shutdown at 80℃
• The cooling fan accumulates dust for more than 2mm and affects the heat dissipation
The old master who has worked in the project for fifteen years told me:
"Now the new controller is becoming more and more anti-human! "
• IoT models support voiceprint wake-up (tap the screen for specific frequency)
• Some models of controllers are designed separately (the main control is in the cloud, only the receiver is left locally)
• Some government projects’ controllers are not installed on the screen at all (remote management of municipal central control room)
Last month, the owner of a chain store disassembled and installed the controller himself, and eventually burned the driver chip worth 80,000 yuan. This tells us: Finding a controller is not a skill, and knowing how to operate safely is the real skill!
Editor's point of view: I have to say that instead of trying to find the controller, it is better to ask the construction party to make the marking stickers in advance. I have seen too many customers who have to work hard on their own and have lost their three-year warranty. Remember, let’s leave professional matters to the professional team. Wouldn’t it be nice to save time to talk about two orders? Next time I encounter difficult and complicated problems with the controller, I will connect directly to the 24-hour technical response center for video. Wouldn’t it be cool if I get it done in three minutes?
