Libelium Smart Industrial Protocols IoT Vertical Kit
- Order number: CH-SIPIVK-EU
- Manufacturer product ID: SIPIVK-EU
The Smart Industrial Protocols IoT Vertical Kit allows connect any sensor to an existing RS 485 industrial bus. Moreover, it adds wireless connectivity to wired buses and lets connect industrial devices to different IoT Cloud platforms.
This Kit includes a P&S! 4-20 mA Current Loop and connects up to four compatible sensors. It also includes P&S! Ambient Control with a socket compatible with MODBUS RS 485 and a triple sensor that measures Temperature, Humidity and Pressure.
Note: This price doesn't include programming services.
Meshlium visualization plugin allows to:
- Visualize real-time data.
- Show measured data graphically between different time periods. It is possible to select for example last week, or last month data.
- Compare different parameters in the same node, and check their historical evolution in a comparative way.
- Geolocate the nodes via GPS and a communication module, and check in a visual map the data measured for each node.
- Sensor data is stored internally using the Meshlium MySQL database. Data can be extracted to a third Cloud Platform later.
Know more about the Meshlium Visualizer at the Meshlium Technical Guide. Section 16.
* There is no SSH access in the IoT Vertical Kits.
* Meshlium Visualizer will show the sensors data only if the programming includes data frames as specified in P&S! Technical guides
Meshlium Sensor Visualizer interface includes 100 times free access limit.
After 100 log-ins a license fee can be acquired to keep on using it.
Application examples
Smart Factory: Reducing Maintenance Costs and Ensuring Quality in the Manufacturing Process
Polibol is leader in the flexible packaging sector. Established in 1959, has won a world-wide reputation for technological leadership and innovative ideas as a flexible packaging printer and convertor. Libelium has designed a specific application for Polibol using Waspmote Plug & Sense! and Meshlium gateway to monitor critical processes. In some cases, controlling the air temperature near machinery on the factory floor is essential; in others, gas concentrations are monitored to keep compliance within authorized levels of concentration.
Smart Factory: Cold Chain Monitoring and Smart Tracking in Zaragoza
Tahona Goyesca is a leading Aragonese company in the bakery and pastry sector that bakes and distributes cakes and pastries that require storage at proper temperature to reach their destination in peak condition. To control the temperature and make delivery more efficient in Tahona Goyesca’s fleet of refrigerated vehicles, Libelium has designed a Smart Tracking solution using Waspmote Plug & Sense! and the Meshlium gateway. With this Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) system, the temperature and position of each delivery vehicle can be monitored in real time remotely through a pc / smartphone / tablet and basic Internet connection
Smart Factory: M2M project in Mexico to monitor industrial motors with Waspmote
Inblay Technology, a Mexican company that designs, develops and deploys industrial enhancement systems, has created a platform to monitor industrial motors using Waspmote. This system is able to monitor temperature and vibration on industrial motors, warning when abnormal operation is detected. Waspmotes were installed on the industrial motors and sent the data directly to a management sever, helping to establish a faster and more efficient service.<
