Since an independent network is used to transfer the measured data
to the Schaeffler IoT Hub and wireless technology is used for other
communication (pre-set, optionally also WiFi or Ethernet), there is no
need for a connection to the local IT infrastructure.
Communication interfaces and
data transfer of OPTIME system
Mesh technology was selected because when monitoring the
condition of machines in large industrial plants large distances also
have to be covered and difficult to access machines need to be
reached. The actively managed mesh network can establish contact
to sensors in a line of sight of up to 100 m, ensures reliable commu-
nication and at the same time optimises the battery service life
of the sensors.
The standard version of the gateway already has an integrated
SIM card for use exclusively in conjunction with the OPTIME system.
If the proposed mobile phone connection is not to be used, there are
other options for connecting to the Schaeffler IoT Hub, i.e. using
a separate SIM card, a WiFi connection or connection via network
cable.
