HMS 5G Starterkit with IO-Link sensors, Руководство пользователя

Extending the Starterkit
The starterkit can be extended in a number of ways.
Large Screen Dashboard
As an alternative to the tablet it is possible to display the dashbard on a larger stationary screen. This
screen could be mounted about the Starterkit or some where else.
The large screen needs to have a web browser to access the dashboard and should be connected to the
5G network either through the wired N interface of through a 5G cellular connection.
Custom Dashboard
It is possible to modify the dashboard supplied with the starterkit. In this case the dashbord web page is
placed on a customer supplied web server whereas the sensor data is collected from the gateway on the
starterkit.
The sensor data are made available through two json files:
•
http://<IP address>/sensor-data.jsonDistance sensor and other sensor data.
•
http://<IP address>/snmpSignal strength.
PLC Integration
Normally the IO-Link devices are controlled by the small gateway next to the orange IO-Link master. As an
alternative to this gateway it is possible to connect to IO-Link devices to a PLC instead. This PLC can be
connected directly to the IO-Link master or through the 5G network.
•
Start by disconnecting the Ethernet cable from the small gateway next to the orange IO-Link master.
•
IO-Link device data is available as Modbus/TCP from the IO-Link master. Please see the IFM support
web pages regarding information how to configure the IO-Link master and how to access the data
through Modbus.
•
In order to enable Modbus/TCP connectivity through the 5G network the Wireless Router 5G needs to
be configured. Please see the user manual provided on https://www.hms-
networks.com/technologies/5G/5G-solutions-starterkits
IT Integration
Data from the IO-Link devices can be exported to an IT system by a number of different means.
