HYDAC is leading the way in edge computing as it increasingly impacts every facet of the business.
AI and cloud computing
Edge computing is a highly advisable choice as it can process and analyse data faster than artificial intelligence and cloud computing and closer to the point where it was generated.
Moreover, data is not required to pass through a network to a data centre or cloud to be processed, and therefore latency is drastically reduced.
Flexible and expandable HYDAC Data+ edge computer
The HYDAC Data+ edge computer is described as a flexible, expandable, and customisable device designed for fast data processing and control at the edge.
The Data+ edge computer has a software platform pre-installed so that no software is required to get it going.
This ensures that the software and functionality are fully maintained within Data+, and the data can be stored locally on an SD card.
In terms of communication, the data can be sent to a higher-level system via an Ethernet connection, using Modbus TCP, Profinet, TCP/IP, UDP/IP or OPC UA.
Sensors are accommodated via IO-Link masters or other remote I/O modules via Modbus TCP, Profinet or CANopen.
For visualisation, a software framework is included that offers web visualisation capabilities, a database of up to 128GB, and database extensions to view, manage and control data effectively and easily.
Node-RED provides the user with a graphical interface to manipulate data.
All monitored parameters and sensors can have customisable alarm settings, which can be modified via web visualisation HMI.
The device has protection class IP65 and offers a USB 2.0 port.
The operating temperature range is -20 to +85°C.
Bluetooth and WiFi are available as options
