JOM! Lets Sembang AIoT episod 29 During the live session of Sembang AIoT 29, we discussed the application of Digital IO in Industrial IoT and presented power-saving solutions for remote data collection using cloud-based 4G routers.Digital IO systems represent a fundamental requirement in virtually all industrial IoT applications. Whether you need to monitor switch status, equipment status, count occurrences, measure frequencies, or control lighting, Digital Input and Output play a crucial role. There are two primary categories of Digital Inputs:TTL Input (0-5VDC):TTL inputs are typically non-isolated and are suitable for internal detection systems where external interference is not a concern.Isolated Digital Input (Wider Voltage Input):Isolated inputs are predominantly used in industrial systems where isolating the connected equipment is essential to ensure resistance to external surges or signal noise. In an IoT system, Digital Outputs are similar to Digital Inputs but can be categorized into three types:TTL Output (0-5VDC)Isolated OutputRelay Output (Isolated Electromechanical Outputs) Axiomtek IIoT edge gateway provides a 8 GPIO ( General Purpose IO)...

AIoT Non-intrusive Connect

by editor Comment Closed
Non-intrusive data extraction with AIoT Non-intrusive data extraction refers to a method of collecting information from a system or process without physically disrupting or altering the operation of that system. In the context of industrial processes, such as manufacturing or automation, data extraction is essential for monitoring and optimizing performance. Traditional methods of data extraction often involve intrusive measures, such as installing additional sensors or modules with wiring, which can be time-consuming and may interrupt the normal functioning of the system. In the non-intrusive approach, the data is collected without the need for physical interference or modifications to the existing infrastructure. Instead, visual data or images from the system's indicators or displays are used. These visual inputs are then processed using artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies to extract relevant information. This method eliminates the need for additional cabling, termination, or the installation of extra sensors. Non-intrusive data extraction is often considered more cost-effective and efficient compared to intrusive methods, as it minimizes...
