Solution for PLC Data Acquisition and Remote Monitoring System of Fabric Inspection Machine

The fabric inspection machine is an essential piece of specialized equipment used in the garment industry to inspect large-width, double-width, and single-width fabrics such as cotton, wool, linen, silk, and synthetic fibers before production.

 Through signals transmitted from tension sensors to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) module, algorithms calculate and adjust the rotational speeds of the unwinding and winding devices in real-time, thereby fine-tuning the fabric surface tension to ensure smooth fabric inspection.

Traditional fabric inspection processes require manual unfolding of the fabric under adequate lighting conditions for monitoring and observation to detect fabric defects and color differences.

 In contrast, intelligent fabric inspection machines can automatically unfold the fabric, intelligently identify defects, mark them, record their lengths, and roll up the fabric, offering high production efficiency. To ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment, WideIOT provides a solution for remote monitoring systems that access PLC data acquisition.

By integrating an industrial intelligent gateway into the PLC of the fabric inspection machine, data acquisition and edge computing can be performed, capturing information such as tension, speed, length, and weight, and uploading it to a remote monitoring platform.

 Managers can then monitor the equipment's operational status and working parameters in real-time and receive abnormal alarm notifications, ensuring production and equipment safety through management and control.

System Functions:

1. Data Acquisition: The system can real-time collect various operational parameters of the fabric inspection machine, such as fabric speed, length, and tension, and transmit them to the monitoring center.

2. Remote Monitoring: Through mobile phones and computers, operators can remotely monitor the working status of the on-site fabric inspection machine and perform necessary control operations.

3. Fault Alarm: The system can automatically detect equipment abnormalities or faults and promptly issue alarms to relevant personnel via WeChat, SMS, email, etc.

4. Equipment Maintenance: The system can record the equipment's operational status and maintenance history, enabling remote PLC programming, debugging, and program uploading/downloading, thereby improving maintenance efficiency.

5. User Interface: Provides a user-friendly interface for easy operation and viewing of relevant information.

6. Data Analysis: Offers a visual data dashboard for data viewing and analysis, facilitating the formulation of scientific and reasonable decisions.
