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

  • To go with this based on initial read I would expect you will need a PLC or sorts (I have plenty) that supports Modbus TCP so you can pull in the data, also some kind of display, if your planning on using a controller with a display output then your all set, if not then some kind of HMI will be needed, presumably with Modbus TCP interface as well.

    Certainly to demonstrate its use, not much additional hardware is needed, to show it in it's "Targeted Infrastructure" then some of the items listed above will be needed and a few other devices for output just to make it interesting. I am fortunate that over the years I have collected quite a range of such things so would be very interested in producing a road test for this and some additional how to content.

    Forgot to mention, as it is Modbus TCP, even a raspberry pi running NodeRed will work great and provide an HTTP WEB interface too if needed. Anything that can run nodered really would suffice to drive the road test devices hub,
