Industrial robot remote monitoring system solution

Background

With the rapid economic development and continuous industrial upgrading, modern industrial robots are more and more widely used in flexible processing and other production. The stability and reliability of industrial robots and mechanical arms on the production line are of great significance to the stability of enterprise production and the guarantee of economic benefits. Industrial robots have complex mechanisms and high maintenance costs, which place high demands on the capabilities of technical personnel in production companies.

The industry status quo of robot applications has put forward higher requirements for the high-quality service capabilities of industrial robot manufacturers.

The current Internet of Things technology and TCP/IP protocol transmit the status and alarm information of industrial robots to the data monitoring center, realize its remote data monitoring and fault diagnosis, find problems and quickly solve faults, which is of great significance in modern industrial production.

System composition

The industrial robot remote monitoring system consists of four parts: remote monitoring center, industrial wireless router, control terminal, network VPN gateway router.  

The monitoring center includes WEB server, data service, and application server. The monitoring platform can collect real-time data on site 24 hours a day, and dynamically display the changed data of each monitoring site on site. When the robot is working abnormally, it can directly access the robot control terminal to modify the robot through the application server. run track.

The control terminal includes robot controller, Ethernet plc and sensors. On-site PLC data can be collected from time to time through the application server, and PLC and other equipment can be remotely controlled and program updated.

System topology

The monitoring center uses ADSL/optical fiber to access the Internet public network to obtain a fixed public network ip. Build a vpn server. The Jrepus JG100 router acts as a VPN client and server to establish a VPN tunnel to realize intranet communication at both ends. The acquisition system runs on the database server, which can collect the Ethernet PLC data connected to the Jrepus router and control industrial robots. So as to achieve the purpose of collecting and monitoring the operation status of industrial robots.

System advantages

1. Stability: It adopts industrial-grade high-performance processor, which can withstand the test of long-term harsh environment and ensure the smoothness of communication; reliable network connection, with device redial function, can ensure that the device is always online.

2. Low cost: The wireless data transmission terminal is used, and the operator's 3G/4G network is used. There is no need for network wiring. The equipment installation is flexible and not affected by the geographical environment. The price of single-point equipment is cheap, reducing wiring problems and reducing costs.

3. Flexibility and scalability: Standard communication protocols and interfaces are used to facilitate installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance. It can collect and control multiple robots in a factory building at the same time.

4. Timeliness: When the data is abnormal, the monitoring terminal can detect it in time and issue instructions to control the industrial robot.
