Equipment networking and data collection is the first step for traditional industries to move forward to intelligent manufacturing, which can open up the "data island" and realize the real-time interaction between factories, workshops, equipment, personnel, materials and the environment, which will help improve the level of enterprise informatization and promote industrial upgrading.
As an important equipment for automated production, PLC is very important for its networking transformation and data acquisition. Through data collection and monitoring management for PLC, enterprises can understand the operating status and process parameters of equipment in real time, receive alarm information to manage and control in time, ensure safe and stable production order, and achieve production capacity optimization and risk reduction with the help of multi-dimensional data analysis.
In the early PLC equipment, serial communication is usually the mainstay, which has the advantages of simple wiring and low project cost, but also needs to face the disadvantages of low transmission efficiency. Nowadays, most host computer systems are Ethernet communication, and the two are incompatible. Therefore, if you want to realize the communication between the serial port PLC and the Ethernet host computer, it is usually necessary to add an expansion module to realize the protocol conversion and integrate the data acquisition function to minimize the cost.
In this regard, Wutong Bolian provides data acquisition gateways with access to a variety of PLCs to realize serial port to network port to realize equipment networking and remote monitoring. It supports PLC protocol analysis and data acquisition from Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Schneider, Delta, Inovance, Beckhoff, Keyence, etc., realizes real-time communication with host computers and cloud platforms by means of 5G 4G WiFi Ethernet, and quickly builds a factory IoT data transmission system, which has the advantages of high efficiency, reliability and low cost.
Features: 1. Realize the southbound data acquisition of various PLC, instrumentation, machine tools, robot arms, electric power and other equipment, and support personalized protocol customized development.
2. Support access to different types of cloud platforms and software at the same time, and support access to remote software platforms through MQTT, Modbus, SQL, HTTP databases, etc.
3. Support the serial port function to realize the multi-master and one-slave call of the serial port, and support the protocol function to realize the multi-protocol to modbus and other protocols to achieve fast access to the local system.
4. Support various edge computing functions such as intelligent collection, data filtering, alarm calculation, jump trigger, formula calculation, grouping strategy, etc.
5. Embedded multiple software and hardware watchdogs, through watchdogs, network disconnection and reconnection, breakpoint resumption, function care, etc., to achieve all-round and multi-dimensional equipment abnormal monitoring and self-healing functions.
6. Provide rich API interfaces to software developers, and realize data collection, two-way control and remote management of field devices through the open platform format API of Wutong Bolian.
