Plug-and-play hardware integration
The core of our data acquisition systems are our sensor hubs which are driven by an industrial grade micro controller board made in Germany (Tinkerforge GmbH). Each sensor hub provides six ports for sensors and interfaces. DAQORE sensor hubs are used to quickly integrate into available infrastructure and existing data acquisition systems. DAQORE provides plug-and-play integration of more than 40 different sensors and interfaces.
Industrial interfaces
To interface IEC 60381 compatible sensors such as pressure transducers, current (0 to 20 mA) and voltage (-10 to +10 V) needs to be detected with high precision. Our sensor hubs provide the appropriate interfaces for industrial sensors.
Software bridge for the attached devices
The connection to the virtual private network (VPN) enables remote firmware updates from within the browser. However, the firmware updates and maintainability goes one step further: they go all the way to the attached devices. The attached devices can be maintained and updated remotely too.
Stress test proven
The sensor hubs are subject to stress tests since 2022 under the most harsh conditions we could come up with, namely inside a coking plant and a salt mine. And the system is doing what it was designed to do: preprocessing raw sensor data and pushing the processed information to the cloud.
Self-tests results are pushed to the cloud
Our sensor hubs automatically perform a self-test six times every minute. The self-tests check current sampling rates and the status of every connected device. The results are sent into the cloud in real time and the health status of your system can be reported to you as a push message to your mobile phone, in case the predefined warning or error conditions were met.
Remote administration and firmware updates
The sensor hubs are configured and maintained through a web interface or via MQTT. New firmware can be pushed to the sensor hubs and their attached devices over-the-air (OTA).
Plug-and-play software integration
DAQORE Micro Collect is the software basis for our sensor hubs. It extends the original firmware for an industrial grade microcontroller board series made in Germany (Tinkerforge GmbH) with modules that integrate various IIoT platforms, industrial HMI systems and IoT protocols such as DAQORE, HELIO, HTTP, IXON and MQTT.
Software features for increased reliability
- Fully integrated MQTT client
- Plug-and-play integration for the IXON Cloud
- Plug-and-play integration for HELIO
- Automatic system configuration in case the network link should ever go down
- Remote firmware update over-the-air (OTA) of the sensor hub and all attached devices
- Results of the fully automated self-tests are sent to the cloud and pushed to your mobile phone if configured
