Different measure point setups, and how much hardware will you'll need?
A - One piece of hardware per machine
4 x Measure point
4 x RS IoT
4 x PC for logging and Operator tools
Advantages
User interface very close to where operators runs the machine/station
Operator tools has instant access to machine data even without connection
to the central server and real time data is therefor not at all depending on
infrastructure like database/server/networkEasy to document, support and maintain hardware connection and setup
No risk that power shut down on one machine effects the data collection
at another machine
Risks
No known risks
B - One central RS IoT and local Operator tools PC for each measure point
4 x Measure point
1 x RS Blackbox
4 x PC for Operator tools
1 x PC for logging machine signals
Advantages
User interface very close to where operators runs the machine/station
Easy to overview all machine signals on one central spot
Possible to maintain the logging PC without disturbing the Operator
tools PCsReduces hardware costs
Risks
Problems with network/sever/database will effect the real time
updates on the Operator tools clients.
C - One central RS IoT and one central Operator tools PC for several measure points
4 x Measure point
1 x RS IoT
1 x PC for logging and Operator tools
Advantages
Easy to overview all machine signals on one central spot
Maximum reduction of hardware costs
Risks
Operators don’t have Operator tools available on all machines and must
remember to go to the central Operator tools clientProblems with network/sever/database will effect the real time updates
on the Operator tools clients.
