Seamless Integration and Machine Upgrade
More Than 20+ Years Experiences in Controller Protocols We now can speak a lot of machine languages Factory automation: PLCs, inverters, robotic arms, CNC, motors, … Building automation: BACnet, KNX, … Smart grid: DL/T 645, IEC 104, … Automotive automation: CANopen, J1939, … OPC UA Industrial equipment Barcode scanner Weighing instruments Tower lights (Alarm lights) And more …
The Need for a Protocol Gateway To improve the factory efficiency, monitor day-to-day data is a must. But, collecting data from machines can be hard. They all speak different languages (protocols) An universal protocol is then invented: OPC UA <Control Room> What?? Well Done! Estimate performance -> then you can predict your machine Data collection comes first!
The Need for a Protocol Gateway To help machines communicate It may be costly and difficult to use proprietary protocols Tight budgets always exist No budget to buy a new machine Modifying existing ones is preferred Cost-effective to use standard protocols OPC UA MQTT MODBUS
cMT Gateway Product Line (Built-in Wi-Fi) cMT-G03 (Serial Bridge) cMT-G04 (Ethernet Bridge)
Features OPC UA server and client MQTT server and client Certified OPC UA server Authorization can be enabled with username/password and X.509 certificate MQTT server and client Data logger (EBPro V6.01.02) Can synchronize to database servers Event detector (EBPro V6.01.02) Events can also be synchronized to database servers Support email events EasyAccess 2.0 – remote access your machine Macros for automating day-to-day work or unit conversion Model-specific features Ethernet separation – secure your machine network Support Wi-Fi Modbus has no password protection
Feature | OPC UA Certified https://opcfoundation.org/products/view/cmt-g01 Complied with OPC UA standard and interoperable with other products Certification includes Compliance testing Usability (Ease of use) Behavior (User-expected behavior) Interoperability (with at least 5 UA clients) Efficiency (36-hour rally test)
Applications OEM machine Brand X PLC Brand Y HMI (may or may not be Weintek’s) Use cMT-G01 as OPC UA protocol gateway With the capability to use EA2.0 pass-through to remotely access the PLCs program (online monitoring, modifying, downloading…)
Applications A garment/clothing factory collects data using MQTT Worker efficiency (e.g. sewing speed) Goods tracking
