Using a USB Oscilloscope for IoT Applications

行业4.0运行在大量的软件,中间软件和硬件解决方案上,可在商店地板内进行机器对机器以及机器对人类通信。对于软件,云计算,数字双胞胎和其他数字转换解决方案为数据分析提供了计算能力。对于硬件,边缘计算解决方案或工业物联网设备可作为数据收集,显示和连接工具 - USB示波器为企业提供了扩展其IoT应用程序功能的手段。

示波器一直是工业部门内的关键设备测试工具。最终用户利用其信号和电气特性测量功能来监视设备性能,但是USB的包含将其可用性提升到了新的水平。USB以及以太网和WiFi,所有这些都提供了从各种硬件到外部设备的通用连接,使将USB示波器应用于整个工业部门的边缘计算工具成为可能。因此,工业企业可以通过以下方式利用其在物联网应用程序中的使用:

  • 优化实时数据收集– Diverse Industry 4.0 business models rely on collected real-time data to gain insight into system performances. Examples of such business models include predictive maintenance, remote machine monitoring, and data-driven production optimization. Using predictive maintenance as an example, capturing frequency data to note discrepancies provides insight into the performance of electrical equipment. Integrating USB oscilloscopes into available IoT frameworks empowers technicians with precise details on machine performance.电信号的实时集合确保可以监视性能下降并追溯到其因果因素。洞悉因果因素和停机时间的持续时间提供了用于制定预测维护策略的数据。将USB示波器连接到边缘计算解决方案还为这些解决方案提供了他们执行分散分析所需的实时数据。
  • 可视化设备数据和远程监控- USB示波器的插件性质为用户提供了一种可视化设备的信号和电气数据的方法。将USB示波器连接到IoT设备上,使其能够利用IoT显示屏的可视化功能。因此,平均商店地板上的技术人员可以可视化信号以及与他们理解的语言或图形相关的分析。大显示还使用户可以仔细检查每个波形,从而提高错误识别成功率。USB oscilloscopes also support condition monitoring, remote connectivity, and remote monitoring which are important concepts of Industry 4.0 during this post-pandemic era. In this capacity, the oscilloscope serves as an edge device that captures equipment data on the shop floor and transfers the captured data to a centralized platform. Hence, enterprises utilizing digital twins or an IoT platform receive crucial electrical data without having to step onto the shop floor. The ability to visualize electrical data, alongside other equipment-related data the IoT device captures, extends the analytical and remote monitoring capabilities of the IoT application. The insight gained from analyzing electrical data with interrelated data can help with improving diagnostic results, devising operational strategies, and optimizing equipment use.
  • Improve Resource Efficiency– Optimizing machine utilization is a crucial aspect of Industry 4.0 and the first step to achieving this is understanding the equipment’s current performance status. An IoT application that tracks resource efficiency can expand its tracking capabilities by integrating a USB oscilloscope which ensures the signals the equipment emits is included in its efficiency review. The insight gained from the data the USB oscilloscope provides can be used as the current state statistics that are needed to improve equipment performance.

您如何为物联网选择正确的USB示波器?

Diverse criteria must be taken into consideration when choosing the perfect USB oscilloscope that meets your IoT applications requirement. Some key criteria include the following:

  • 支持操作系统- 物联网应用程序有望在互连的框架内工作,因此,物联网框架内的设备必须具有广泛的互连功能。这些互连功能必须支持数据传输,可视化和编程。推荐的选择应支持操作系统的运行,例如Linuxin a standalone mode. The ability to run Linux empowers the user with programming features and the ability to import or export data.
  • 可移植性和耐用性 -Devices used within the average shop floor must be compact and capable of withstanding the labor-intensive and ruggedness of the industrial environment. The device should also be compact enough to be placed alongside IoT devices without taking up too much space. USB oscilloscopes are generally portable and compact but much consideration should be given to their durability and ability to withstand interference.
  • Cost and Integration–Finally, the purchasing and setup cost for integrating the USB oscilloscope to support IoT applications must be considered. For many enterprises, setting up a large IoT framework is a tedious affair thus the process of including an oscilloscope should be seamless.
