The development of the PLC IoT cloud platformis slowly unfolding, serving as a bridge between the digital economy and the industrial economy. The industrial IoT platform is the core of Industry 4.0, and data is the foundation of the entire platform. So, where does the data for the PLC IoT cloud platform come from?
In terms of industry, the industrial brain PLC or other industrial controllers are the foundation for automatic control in manufacturing and other control industries. Smart gateways collect PLC point table data (remote download) and transmit the data to the cloud platform for storage and computation through different communication methods. As an edge layer gateway, it is self-evidently the bridge and translator between industrial equipment and the IoT cloud platform. It feeds different variables and parameters of the machine back to the cloud platform and visualizes them on different terminals.
How is data transmitted?
With the advent of the information age, the development of communication technology, and the maturity of IoT technology, achieving global remote control has become a reality. The PLC IoT cloud platform gateway supports multiple communication methods: full network connectivity, 4G, Ethernet, serial port, WiFi, etc. Then, the data packets collected at the link layer are transmitted to the centralized cloud service system through TCP/IP protocol for data analysis, classification management, data display, and other cloud computing technologies, and then displayed on different terminals.
What is the use of data?
After a series of data sources, the calculation of the PLC IoT cloud platform is the technical core of this industrial IoT platform. What is the role of the gateway in acquiring data? The functions of the platform are divided into two categories:
1. Direct function: Judging the operating status of equipment through data and remote monitoring.
2. Additional value: Improving equipment efficiency and production processes through statistical data of running equipment. For enterprises, it can enhance equipment utilization and reduce management and operation costs.
Market functions of the PLC IoT cloud platform:
The PLC IoT cloud platformis essentially a website platform. Its main function is to store data information of industrial equipment, record parameter information of equipment operation, and achieve remote monitoring and remote debugging functions of industrial equipment.
1. Real-time Monitoring and Alarm Push: Get first-hand access to device operational data and alarm status, send instructions, and modify parameters through PCs and mobile phones.
2. Device Management and Permissions Classification: Add, delete, and modify devices through the platform, store device parameter information, manage the fine-grained process of device maintenance, and categorize views/tasks for different personnel.
3. PLC Remote Debugging: Combine with the YK-Cloud Gateway to achieve VPN local networking and PLC remote debugging.
4. Free Configuration: Develop monitoring screens by dragging standard components without technical intervention.
5. Online Video: Support online video access, view, and playback of videos of faulty devices, online monitoring of safety and fires, and monitoring of equipment patrol tracks.
6. Comprehensive Management Tools: Include after-sales management tools, device management tools, customer management tools, process management tools, energy efficiency analysis tools, unattended components, project progress components, etc.
7. Big Data Analysis Tools: Under different working conditions, build industrial models based on operational data comparison and data mining of similar devices, and push possible causes and solutions based on accumulated cases of faults.
PLC IoT Cloud PlatformIn addition to the standard version, a private cloud platform can be developed according to user requirements. It can be customized according to customer equipment and project requirements to meet the needs of different users.
