Background

The CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) machines are mechatronic products integrated with mechanical engineering, computers, hydraulics, sensing, information processing, optical and mechanical technologies. When a failure occurs, the system requests for timely maintenance. Otherwise, the long downtime will delay the production and cause huge losses. However, the traditional CNC machines maintenance requires engineers to operate on site in person, which has the problems of slow response and high maintenance costs. In this regard, Wlink launches the remote monitoring solution.

WLINK Solution

Deploying R210 routers / D80 modems, Wlink solution makes the CNC machines connect to the M2M cloud platform via wireless 4G network, various data of machines' operation status are collected and transmitted automatically. This system offers real-time monitoring and analysis of CNC functions, and will inform the users when changes or anomalies are detected, thus to improve their equipment effectiveness.

System Architecture

• The R210 router and D80 modem provide stable and reliable network connection for CNC machines, with automatic reconnection for dropouts

• Real-time alarms via I/O ports, once the machine status changes, will trigger the I/O to generate an alarm event and sending SMS/M2M alarm to maintenance engineers

• Data monitoring based on M2M platform to provide real-time data for diagnosing CNC machine status

Benefits

• Industrial robust design and compact metal housing, operation temperature: -30 ~ +70 degrees

• High-reliable, auto reboot from disconnections and faults, ensure 24/7 online

• High-speed 4G LTE network access

• RS232/RS485 optional, 3 x I/O (INPUT/OUTPUT)

• Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP

• GRE/L2TP/PPTP/IPsec/OpenVPN optional

• M2M software quick installation

• Special project features customizable
