Hello and welcome back to another free video from RealPars, the world’s largest online platform for learning about cutting-edge industrial automation technologies.
In today’s video, I’m going to show you how you can use ifm’s DataLine IO-Link Master modules to send data from sensors on the shopfloor to the cloud without modifying the control system. This is a really useful feature of ifm DataLine IO-Link Masters for two reasons.
First, it means that manufacturing companies can adjust the data that they are collecting without interrupting a running process.
Second, it means that companies can collect large amounts of data for analysis without affecting their PLC cycle time. Since data is sent directly from sensors to the cloud, there is no need for the PLC to do any data collection, aggregation, manipulation, or forwarding.
In this video, you will see a quick demonstration of how ifm DataLine IO-Link Masters can be used to send data directly to the cloud.
Industrial sensors generate a lot of data.
According to ifm, about 5% of the data generated by a typical sensor is process data that is used by the PLC to control the process.
The remaining 95% of the data generated by a sensor is additional information such as diagnostic information and alarms. Until recently, that information remained trapped in the sensor where it could not be used to improve process performance.
With ifm DataLine IO-Link masters, this additional information can be transmitted directly from the IO-Link Master to a higher-level software system without going through a PLC.
By using the IoT side of the Y Path, manufacturing companies can make full use of their sensor data for condition monitoring, energy monitoring, quality monitoring, and remote support services.
Manufacturing companies can send data directly from an IO-Link master to higher-level software systems using modern communication protocols such as MQTT, JSON, and HTTPS for storage and analysis.
Basically, companies can unlock their machines’ data to create value that was previously unimaginable.
In this video, we’ll show you how to send data from a 05D150 distance sensor to the cloud via an AL1326 ifm DataLine IO-Link master using the MQTT protocol.
In case you haven’t heard of it, MQTT is a lightweight publish-and-subscribe communication protocol that is being adopted for IIoT communications.
