A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is an automated control device designed for industrial environments.

 It utilizes a programmable memory to execute instructions for logical operations, sequential control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations within its internal programs. Through digital and analog input and output, it controls various types of machinery or production processes, offering advantages such as high production efficiency, high automation levels, and simple operation.

To achieve PLC data acquisition and enable real-time monitoring and management control of production processes and equipment, providing enterprises with visual management tools and avoiding downtime losses due to failures, WideIOT offers an IoT solution based on industrial smart gateways.

 This solution supports data acquisition from PLCs of various brands, including Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Schneider, Delta, Inovance, Beckhoff, and Panasonic. It provides multiple internet connectivity options such as 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet for local upper computers or cloud platforms, enabling functions like remote monitoring, remote control, remote maintenance, fault operation and maintenance, and data analysis to safeguard efficient and stable production.

Key Features

1. Temperature Alarm Control:
   • In industrial settings, temperature is a frequently monitored parameter. PLCs can automatically control temperature to maintain it within a suitable range, ensuring production safety and product quality. The industrial smart gateway automatically alerts managers (via WeChat, SMS, email, etc.) when abnormal temperature values are detected, enabling prompt management and control measures.
2. Liquid Quantity Monitoring:
   • Liquid quantity monitoring, such as water level and oil level, is crucial in industries like printing and dyeing, equipment manufacturing, water treatment, and chemicals. It often requires定量 water addition or chemical dosing, along with manual control options to accommodate flexible formulas. The industrial smart gateway collects data on water levels, flow rates, etc., and presents it in visual charts for remote control and data analysis.
3. Pressure Start/Stop Control:
   • In water supply, water treatment, and some chemical industries, stable and controllable pressure is vital. The industrial smart gateway collects pressure data from PLCs and pressure gauges and uploads it to upper computers or cloud platforms. Administrators can perform remote start/stop operations upon receiving alarms, ensuring production and personnel safety.
