Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for an end-to-end wireless sensor hub include: configuring a sensor hubs in an order using a sequence established by 5 a time of addition to a network. The sensor hubs is grouped into one or more groups. Sensor data captured by the one or more groups is obtained according to a current group number, wherein the sensor data is obtained from each group of the one or more groups according to a predetermined schedule.
Claims9
A system, comprising:
- one or more sensor-hubs physically coupled with industrial equipment, the industrial equipment being at an operational site and each of the one or more sensor-hubs comprising a controller and one or more sensors, wherein at least one sensor hub is located adjacent to a component of the industrial equipment that is a source of sensor data, and is configured to capture the sensor data associated with the industrial equipment;
- and
- at least one processor at the operational site, the at least one processor being communicatively coupled with the one or more sensor hubs via a network that provides integrated support for secure, wireless transmission of the sensor data at the operational site, wherein the one or more sensor hubs are sequenced to transmit data across the network according to a current group number.
A method, comprising:
- configuring, by at least one processor, sensor hubs in an order using a sequence established by a time of addition to a network;
- assigning, by the at least one processor, the sensor hubs into one or more groups, wherein a number of sensor hubs in a respective group is calculated according to a maximum bandwidth consumed by a group of sensor hubs, wherein the maximum bandwidth does not exceed a data bandwidth of the network;
- and
- obtaining, by the at least one processor, sensor data captured by the one or more groups according to a current group number, wherein the sensor data is obtained from each group of the one or more groups according to a predetermined schedule.
