- other utilities
Concept for the Development of Media Monitoring
Collecting Data – Technical Structure
Physical Layer – Measurement
- verification of existing measurement points and the collected data
- expansion of the system with the necessary measurement devices
- utilization of existing PLC controllers by adding energy measurement modules and OPC UA communication
- expansion of the existing communication network infrastructure to add new measurement devices
- utilization of devices from reputable manufacturers, e.g. Siemens, Endress+Hauser, Moxa
Communication
- utilization of existing Ethernet infrastructure based on Modbus TCP communication
- use of communication gateways to unify the end protocol
- integration of offline measuring devices through periodic reading and manual data entry, as a temporary or permanent solution
Hardware
- recommended use of the customer’s existing server infrastructure for software installation
- Siemens EdgeDevice as a local solution for the first stage of system development or its distributed concept as an alternative to client–server architecture
- possibility of adding individual computer hardware selected in accordance with the software manufacturer’s requirements
