Abstract
A device and a method of monitoring a condition of a machine in real time. The method includes: interfacing an edge device with the machine; requesting a handle from a controller of the machine; querying the machine with an adapter of the edge device for a control data; and acquiring control data from one or more sensors of the machine. The method includes repeating the steps of querying the control data and acquiring the control data after a period of time at a high frequency.
Claims13
A method of monitoring a condition of a machine in real time, the method comprising:
- interfacing an edge device the machine;
- requesting a handle from a controller of the machine;
- querying the machine with an adapter of the edge device for a control data;
- acquiring the control data from one or more sensors of the machine;
- initiating an integrator when the acquired control data indicates a prespecified tool number;
- initiating an action to the machine based upon a sum of load measurements from the control data provided by the integrator in response to the sum exceeding a predefined threshold value;
- and
- repeating the steps of querying for the control data and acquiring the control data after a period of time at a high frequency defined by a sampling rate,
- wherein during an initial connection period the adapter cycles through a set logic of repeating the steps of querying the machine and acquiring the control data to establish the sampling rate.
