The realization of the Internet of Everything in industrial scenarios is inseparable from the data collection of industrial automation equipment. Among them, there are dozens of common industrial field protocols for PLCs, and major PLC manufacturers basically have their own private protocols, resulting in various difficulties in on-site data collection.
Due to the wide variety of on-site protocols and complex network environment, a compatible Internet of Things solution is required, and the common way is to deploy PLC intelligent gateway on the equipment side: use PLC intelligent gateway to unify various protocols, and then collect and aggregate PLC data to the IoT platform, so as to realize data interconnection and remote monitoring and management between devices.
In addition, in the industrial site, PLC assumes the control role of automation equipment, which affects the operation of the entire production line, and needs to pay great attention to the working status of PLC and its subordinate control equipment, but for the equipment distributed in projects across the country, the cost of sending people to travel for on-site maintenance is increasing, and the work efficiency is also low, which affects the operating profit and after-sales service quality of the enterprise. Therefore, enterprises have an increasingly strong demand for remote maintenance of PLCs, and need a complete set of compatible and cost-effective solutions.
The solution is responsible for data collection, feedback the status of PLC equipment, and realize the visual processing of a variety of data, and can also remotely control, configure, debug and program the PLC. By setting alarm rules and creating a standard process of operation and maintenance work orders, when the equipment fails, you can check the alarm confidence in time and take measures, build a remote maintenance channel, carry out remote program development, remote programming and debugging, etc., improve work efficiency and reduce operation and maintenance costs.
Key features: 1. It supports direct docking through the PLC protocol itself, and can also collect and collect various instruments, sensors, CNC machine tools, industrial robots and other equipment without separate programming.
2. Support converting various PLCs such as Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Delta, and Schneider to Modbus and MQTT to Huawei Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Private Cloud, and Wutong Bolian Cloud.
3. It supports remote configuration of gateway parameters and firmware upgrade, and can also realize wireless remote upload of PLC programs through the equipment maintenance express line, which is convenient for debugging and management of PLC.
4. Support 5G 4G WiFi Ethernet and other ways to connect to the cloud platform or configure the host computer to realize local task management, threshold alarm, linkage control, operation and maintenance management and data analysis and other functions.
5. Support data TLS security encryption, username, password and certificate authentication access, access control (ACL), OpenVPN and other security protection functions.
6. Support customized development to meet the needs of non-standard equipment data collection and privatization deployment of cloud platform.
