Dear friends, I have a idea to create cloud based Monitoring system (through Internet). This will be a system for monitoring small process. So, I was thinking to do this with small LOGO! PLC connected to some of Weintek HMI devices. For example CMT-SVR 100 by Weintek is cloud based HMI server. It's some kind of HMI without display. You can programm it like ordinary HMI and when you access to this CMT-SVR 100 through your android app or something like that... you will see a HMI screens... cmt-svr-100 technical overview cmt-svr 100 short video example presentation bellow is a some explanation from previous link (technical overview) about MQTT function of CMT-SVR 100 and possibility to use dongle internet access (it's very usefull for objects displaced in wide area without network infrastructure) "MQTT (Subscriber):Allows cMT to act as a subscriber, publisher, or broker in an MQTT connection. 3G/4G Dongle:A 3G/4G dongle enables cMT-SVR to connect to a 3G or 4G wireless mobile network so that you can access the internet or send emails. The cMT-SVR must be in an area with 3G/4G coverage and you must have an active account with one of the major carriers (you must provide the cMT-SVR with the PIN code of the SIM card, access point name, your username/password, and dial number)." But, few weeks ago I saw a SIMATIC IOT2000 at some presentation... and now, I have dilemma, to use Weintek CMT-SVR 100 with LOGO! I must decide, and before that I must compare this two? Can anybody help me to choose, If I use Weintek CMT-SVR 100, I can use a dongle 3G/4G internet and this is all I need? Am I write? LOGO! connection to CMT-SVR 100 is very easy to implemented, I used it before few times... weintek HMIs with SIEMENS PLCs. If I use a CMT-SVR 100 I must used PLC (LOGO!) to take digital and analog signals... But what I need if I choose IOT2000 as a cloud? IOT2000 has their own digital and analog inputs? So, maybe I don't need PLC if I use IOT2000? And how can I connect to internet in this case? And how about cloud? How can I configure cloud with IOT2000, and what additional hardware I need for this (except IOT2000)....??? I just started to thinking about it, and maybe my questions now are stupid and funny, but at the end, when I finish my application, I will show and explain procedure here in forum :) Best regards... and thanks :) |

Hello!
The IOT2000 can establish a connection to a cloud server. You can check out the Starter Guide for examples on how to do so. The IOT2000 has the same GPIOs as an Arduino Uno Rev3. You can ramp up the Power-output by using the I/O Shield. To connect the IOT to the Internet you can use LAN, WLAN (USB Dongle or mPCIe Card) or 3G/4G (also over mPCIe Card). Kind regards! |
