Seeking Your Interest in Roadtesting Wireless Sensors and Hub of an Industrial IOT System

rscasny

Hi all.

I have met with Schneider Electric who makes Wireless Transmitters (Sensors) and a Hub that operates as intermediate equipment between a transmitter and a PLC or industrial PC.

We have primarily discussed roadtesting these products (which I list below). However they are open to a design challenge.

We are interested in learning:

  • How you would roadtest these products (as they are part of a larger system).
  • What your interest level is in roadtesting these products
  • Other than the products listed below, what else would you need

Let me list the products the roadtester would receive:

ZBRTC1 Wireless transmitter (current sensor)
Wireless transmitter, Harmony XB5R, Current sensor, self-powered current monitoring wireless clamp sensor, 0.5…35A

Datasheet

ZBRTT1 Wireless transmitter (Temp/Relative Humidity sensor)
Easergy CL110 wireless environmental temperature and humidity sensor

Operation manual

Webpage

XB5R Wireless pushbutton
Harmony wireless and batteryless pushbuttons are used for remote control of a receiver relay using a transmitter pushbutton.

Webpage and notes

ZBRN1 Harmony Hub
Harmony Hub wireless ethernet gateway, Harmony XB5R, Zigbee green power gateway, wireless to modbus TCP, 24...240V AC DC

Instruction sheet

Datasheet

  • This would make for a very interesting Road-test. I'm sure the sponsor would benefit from a roadtest, given all the Talented Road testers we have in our community. I believe that it  would make a better Roadtest than a Design Challenge. For reference, I was involved in a design challenge last spring that involved a product from Omega.

    "N-gaged Remote Monitoring Sponsored by Omega
    Challengers must use Omega’s Wireless Layer N EcoSystem to create an IoT solution featuring remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, environmental management, and more."

    I was not a prize winner, but I completed the challenge and received a finisher prize. Winners Announcement - N-Gage Design Challenge. My approach to the challenge was to put the product thru it's paces and the discover how the parts fit together and how a hobbyist like myself could benefit and learn Industrial IoT with this product. The kit supplied by Omega, contained all the pieces needed to assemble the HW pieces from sensor over wireless to a hub and onto the Cloud to be used for reliability analysis. No programming was involved here just configuration. The MODUS/TCP protocol is supported  but I did not utilize it in my challenge project, due to my lack of experience with it.

    Comments here from members indicate that  a PLC with a display would be a helpful addition but not required if a MODUS/TCP supported PLC or PC is added to the design. If such a component was included in the kit, then it would then it would be a turn key solution like the Omega n-gaged kit.

    Otherwise the evaluation could involve the ease of adding a MODUS/TCP supported PLC or PC to  program a data collector and analyzer. This either way would  be a very interesting learning experience for a hobbyist
