How does the industrial edge gateway realize data collection and protocol conversion of automation equipment?

With the continuous development of industrial control automation and the deepening of industry applications, data sharing and transmission of machine equipment have become more important. The industrial edge gateway implements the workflow of data collection, conversion and transmission of automation equipment. It can collect and transmit various production data and environmental parameters, convert the data into standardized formats, establish real-time communication with superior application platforms, and perform data calculations. and analysis to facilitate adjustment and optimization of industrial production work.

Industrial edge gateway capabilities

1. Data collection: The gateway can collect various data of various automation equipment (PLC, instrumentation, industrial robots, sensors, etc.) through various interfaces (serial port, network port, IO, WIFI, etc.), such as temperature and humidity, pressure, Liquid level, power, etc. After data collection, edge computing can be performed and then distributed to a local host computer or cloud platform for sharing and display.

2. Protocol analysis: The communication protocols and data types of industrial equipment are rich and diverse, and the industrial edge gateway can uniformly process and convert data. For example, Zongheng Intelligent Control’s industrial edge gateway can convert the Modbus RTU protocol into the Modbus TCP protocol/MQTT protocol, set the message and data type, and then be compatible with upper-level equipment and platforms.

3. Data transmission: Industrial edge gateways can implement different Internet access methods for devices, upload collected and calculated data to superior equipment and cloud platforms, and support 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet/LoRa and other Internet access methods, according to project needs and on-site conditions. , quickly realize the construction of the Internet of Things at industrial sites and achieve efficient data collection and monitoring.

Application scenarios of industrial edge gateways

1. Smart factory: In the production and manufacturing process, the gateway is the hub for data collection and equipment communication, enabling remote monitoring and fault alarms of PLC, sensors, water and electricity meters and other equipment. It can also realize remote maintenance of equipment and maintain industrial production safety. stable order.

2. Smart city: Industrial smart gateways can be used to monitor urban water supply networks, air environment quality, power consumption management, etc., and connect to urban data platforms and monitoring centers to improve urban digital management and improve urban management efficiency and services. quality.

3. Smart agriculture: By monitoring sensor data in real time, the gateway allows users to quickly perceive changes in the meteorological environment of the greenhouse and quickly collect measures in case of abnormal weather to ensure the safe growth of crops. A variety of data can effectively guide agricultural production and improve agricultural production efficiency.
