Smart factory solutions must rely on the product itself to complete information collection and data upload. At present, smart factory solutions based on serial WiFi modules are widely used.
Industrial Internet of Things and Serial WiFi Module
The Industrial Internet of Things is the implementation of connected instruments, sensors and other devices with machinery and processes in manufacturing and industrial environments. Innovative Industrial IoT applications improve operational efficiency through automation, connectivity and analytics. The role of low-power serial port WiFi module in the industrial Internet of Things is mainly reflected in two aspects, data transparent transmission and intelligent control.
As the name suggests, data transparent transmission means transparent transmission of data. Transparent transmission means that during the data transmission process, the length and content of the data of the sender and the receiver are completely consistent. No processing of the data is required. It is equivalent to a data line or a serial port line to ensure transmission. The quality is sufficient without processing the transmitted business. The serial WiFi module completely transmits the received temperature and humidity data to the cloud server to facilitate data retrieval and analysis of networked devices.
The serial WiFi module works in STA mode and AP mode. When working in STA mode, the smart terminal and WiFi module work in the wireless network environment provided by the wireless router. The data signal is forwarded by the wireless router to achieve wireless control; when working in AP mode , smart terminals (mobile phones, tablets) directly connect to the network provided by the WiFi module, and achieve wireless control on the same hotspot network; helping the connectivity and automation of the Industrial Internet of Things in real time.
SKYLAB serial port WiFi module
There are many UART interface WiFi modules that support data transparent transmission and intelligent control. Among them, those with low power consumption and suitable for industrial IoT application scenarios are the small-sized, low-power, low-cost serial WiFi module LCS6260 based on the domestic TR6260 solution. The small size, low power consumption and low cost serial port WiFi module WG219/WG229 based on the ESP8266 solution, and the small size, low power consumption and low cost serial port WiFi module WG231 based on the domestic ESP8285 solution. Among them, LCS6260 supports docking with Alibaba Cloud and Tuya Cloud, and WG219/WG229/WG231 supports docking with Alibaba Cloud.
Advantages of smart factory solutions compared with traditional production site information collection methods
Low power consumption and low cost: For IoT WiFi terminal products, power consumption is always the biggest challenge. WG219, WG219, LSC6260, and WG231 use Espressif ESP8266 and Quan Shengwei TR6260 low-power chip solutions. In deep sleep mode, the power consumption can be as low as 10-20uA. It also supports ultra-high-power mobile phones with SW on-chip complete applications. Rapid program development and application of low-power devices can ensure transparent transmission of data while minimizing power consumption. Domestic chip solutions are also beneficial to the market and can meet the needs of WiFi modules for low-power, low-cost automation and sensor solutions for the Internet of Things.
Cloud ecological support: For customers' IoT applications, the IoT UART interface WiFi modules developed and launched by SKYLAB all support the MQTT protocol, and all support docking with cloud services. LCS6260 supports docking with Alibaba Cloud and Tuya Cloud, and WG219/WG229/WG231 supports docking with Alibaba Cloud.
Information corresponds one to one to reduce errors: the data collected by the module is directly transparently transmitted to the terminal through the serial port, or directly uploaded to the cloud. Users who access the system platform can retrieve data information, identify and verify the data, and all data and device names are It is a one-to-one correspondence, reducing the probability of errors due to manual on-site information collection.
