vSmart factories are considered to be one of the important application scenarios of 5G technology. The 5G network will be used to seamlessly connect production equipment, and further open up design, procurement, warehousing, logistics and other links to meet the needs of equipment interconnection and remote interactive applications in industrial environments. The solution connects factory equipment through 5G industrial gateway, provides high performance, high speed, high reliability, and low delay 5G network for device connection, transmits factory field data to back-end operation and maintenance management platform in real time, builds a comprehensive information system connecting people and machines inside and outside the factory, and realizes comprehensive maintenance and upgrade of the factory, allocation of production resources according to demand, and personalized production.
Customer application requirements
In the communication with the customer, I learned that the customer’s applicationFHA-32C-100-E250 needs a stable and reliable high-speed serial port to connect to the PLC, and at the same time, because the customer uses the form of their own card, it needs to have 5G module scheme to support, to achieve the functions of all Netcom. For the products adopted, a small volume with strict requirements is required for rapid integration in existing application equipment.
Stable and high speed serial port;
5G module scheme supports all NetCOM;
Small size for easy integration;
Advantech provides complete solutions
After several rounds of communication and testing, the customer finally selected Advantech edge intelligent system EI-52, with Advantech’s integrated all-Netcom 5G module AIW-355, to help customers realize PLC equipment networking. The edge end uses high-speed serial communication to send and receive with PLC. After the information is collected, it is then transmitted point-to-point through 5G edge computing devices. The solution’s stable and reliable network connection capability helps customers confidently meet the huge challenges of delay and stable performvance requirements in industrial sites!
