A large iron and steel enterprise widely adopts circulating cooling water systems during production to keep machinery and equipment operating within safe temperature ranges. As the circulating cooling water system is an open-type system, dust and impurities from the air as well as scale from pipelines can contaminate the water. Excessive impurities tend to clog the copper tubes of heat exchangers, reducing heat exchange efficiency and impairing the performance of the entire cooling system.

For this reason, industrial filters are commonly installed to remove impurities from raw materials or products and guarantee product quality. WideIOT provides a PLC industrial filter data acquisition system to enable intelligent monitoring and management of filters, detect potential issues such as filter clogging and leakage in a timely manner, and maintain safe and stable production.
By connecting PLCs to WideIOT PLC data acquisition gateways, real-time equipment status parameters can be collected and transmitted to cloud platforms or host computers via 5G/4G/Wi-Fi/Ethernet. This allows centralized management and monitoring of all connected equipment. Users can view device status, operating parameters, alarm events, configuration screens and other information to take prompt actions.

Implemented Functions

1. Real-time Monitoring: The system conducts 24/7 uninterrupted monitoring of key filter parameters including differential pressure, flow rate and temperature. Alarms will be triggered immediately once abnormalities are detected to notify operators for timely handling.

2. Intelligent Early Warning: Based on intelligent alarm rules, the system monitors faulty filter parameters and actively sends early warning notifications via WeChat, SMS, email and other channels, providing scientific support for enterprises to schedule maintenance plans.

3. Configuration Monitoring: Customized configuration is available on the cloud configuration platform. Enterprise managers can remotely check the operating status and working parameters of each filter and carry out management and control operations.

4. Optimized Production Scheduling: By analyzing filter operating data, managers can intelligently adjust production workflows to prevent production shutdowns caused by filter failures and boost overall production efficiency.

5. Reduced Maintenance Costs: Remote programming, debugging, program upload and download for remote PLCs can be realized through the equipment maintenance tunnel, improving work efficiency and cutting business travel frequency.
