III. How to use PLC gateway to realize real-time monitoring and control in industrial automation monitoring system.

The PLC gateway can collect PLC, touch screen and other data, connect to OPC UA, configuration and 4G wireless access to the IoT cloud platform to realize real-time monitoring and control.

① Collect PLCs, Devices data

The PLC gateway supports direct docking through the PLC itself protocol, and also supports collecting various types of PLCs through Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP. At the same time, the PLC gateway also supports two links of serial port and network port, which can collect data such as PLC, touch screen, RS485 equipment, etc., and supports network port and serial port to simultaneously collect 100 devices and 4000 variables.

② Docking OPC UA, configuration and 4G wireless access IoT cloud platform

The PLC gateway supports the conversion of various PLCs such as Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Delta, and Schneider to protocols such as Modbus TCP, MQTT, OPC UA, Huawei Cloud IoT, Alibaba Cloud IoT, AWS IoT, King Pigeon Cloud, Thingsboard, and Ignition. The collected data can be transmitted to the cloud platform through these protocols for storage, analysis, control and other operations to achieve real-time monitoring and control.

③ Enable real-time monitoring and control

The data collected through the PLC gateway can be transmitted to the cloud platform in real time for real-time monitoring and control. For example, in industrial production, by collecting data such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and flow, the operating status of equipment can be monitored in real time, and problems can be found and controlled in time. At the same time, functions such as threshold alarm and linkage control can be set to make the production process more automated and efficient.

IV. Application scenarios

Industrial Production Monitoring

Real-time monitoring and control of industrial automation systems can be achieved by collecting data from machines, PLCs, etc., and uploading data through 4G wireless or Ethernet access to IoT cloud platforms or servers. It can monitor data such as equipment status and process parameters, find abnormal conditions and control them in time to improve production efficiency and reduce costs.

V. Summary

Industrial automation monitoring system is an essential link in industrial production. By collecting data from various devices and connecting to the cloud platform, real-time monitoring and control of the industrial production process can be realized, which can improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure production safety. As a bridge connecting various devices and cloud platforms, the PLC gateway has the characteristics of high efficiency, safety and reliability, and plays an important role in the industrial automation monitoring system. In the future, with the continuous development of industrial automation technology, the application scenarios of PLC gateways will become more and more extensive, and its functions and performance will be further improved and perfected.
