In the industrial IoT era, the requirements for connecting devices are becoming ever more diverse and complex. AMC offers with the gateway software “WISE PaaS / EdgeLink” and the Edge IIoT gateways as DAQ gateways (eg ADAM-3600 & WISE-710) and / or the protocol gateway converters (eg models from the ECU-1000 and UNO Series) offers a solution for the acquisition of machine data and system data via standard protocols. This data can be transmitted to higher-level monitoring systems, MES and ERP applications as well as to cloud services.
With these edge gateways, acquired sensor data such as production quantities, temperatures, status messages (RUN, STOP, maintenance) from machines and systems or from existing controls can be recorded and the individual measured values / tags via data interfaces / data protocols from remote I / O modules into a uniform Data protocol can be converted in order to communicate with a data interface of all machines and systems.
The most important software functions of the “WISE PaaS / EdgeLink” software:
– Gateway software to transfer the data from the edge to higher-level HMI / SCADA monitoring applications or to the cloud.
– Data backup by storing the data in the database and / or on the FTP server;
– Data publication via OPC-UA, Modbus, DNP3, MQTT and LwM2M in the higher-level software or in the cloud;
– Optimization of the efficiency of the connected devices;
– Simple integration of the device data into the middleware with secure data conversion
– Creation of the application using the Advantech EdgeLink Studio software on the work computer and download of the application on the Edge Gateway.
