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

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

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

    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…

    Well, if it supports Modbus TCP, I suspect there's no reason you can't just hook it up to an Ethernet network and use pymodbus (or similar libraries) on any computer or SBC to talk to it, assuming you…

    I have an interest in Zigbee but have moved away from the industrial automation sector and I wouldn't use this type of automation at home.

    My initial thought is to clamp that current sensor on my car battery cable and go for a drive. 

    I have some car buffs around that have cars that are 30 years old. I wonder how they compare?

    Don't think that's going to work unfortunately as it looks to be an AC current clamp, not a DC one. You could measure your household energy consumption on a couple of circuits if you'd like ... and if you're comfortable with working around your switchboard.

    Even if it measured DC, it is only rated to 35A i think, a car starter would almost certainly blow whatever circuit that was connected to unless it had exceptional protection circuits arround it

    Yes, this is AC, not DC.

    Well that throws that idea out the window. Hummm.... sense motor current on grain dryer blowers.
