ZentNode is an intelligent network adapter that captures signals from sensors in the plant, processes the information locally and sends it securely to your IT systems
ZentNode MT
Measurement of water, gas or electricity consumption.
Counts pulses and converts them to liters, m3 or Kw/h
Publishes instant and accumulated values to Broker MQTT
Generates alerts by MQTT and/or activate an output if consumption deviates from the defined limits
ZentNode CT
Counting of parts, measuring of speed or production times
Calculates maximum, minimum and average values in the defined time interval
Publishes the instant and calculated values to Broker MQTT
Generates alerts by MQTT and/or activate output if the values deviate from the defined limits (e.g. machine shutdown or high cycle time)
ZentNode AL/AT
Monitoring of analog signals such as level, pressure or temperature (AT)
Converts and scales the signal to engineering units in digital format
Calculates maximum, minimum and average values in the defined time interval
Publishes the instant and calculated values to Broker MQTT
Generates alerts by MQTT (LoLo, Lo, Hi, HiHi) with configurable dead-band
ZentNode simplifies access to machine data by directly reading the sensor signals and sending the processed information to information systems
- without programming PLCs
- without configuring automation networks or communication drivers
- without risks of cyber attacks
¿How does ZentNode work?
ZentNode intelligent adapters digitize machine signals and publish the data over the Single Pair Ethernet network to an MQTT Broker
SPE network provides high-speed (100Mbps) communication and power to networked devices over distances of hundreds of meters
IT applications subscribe to the data they need from the MQTT Broker and receive automatic updates every time machines produce new data
Simplicity
ZentNode is easy to install and maintain
Without programming controllers
Without modifying the machines
Without configuring networks or drivers
Security
ZentNode uses TLS encryption to ensure data integrity and to protect your facility from potential cyber attacks
Compatibility
The use of the MQTT protocol guarantees the compatibility of your production management applications
ZentNode can be applied to all types of machines, regardless of their age or control technology
The complete solution to connect your plant data to your IT systems
Start with a single sensor. Add more signals or devices as you need, without stopping the system
ZentBroker provides an MQTT Broker with Single Pair Ethernet and Ethernet connections in an industrial device designed to be easily installed in demanding environments.
Its friendly user interface allows you to configure advanced functions such as address conversion between IPv6 and IPv4 and the management of security certificates for communication between the ZentNode and the MQTT broker.
Single Pair Ethernet
The SPE Single Pair Ethernet hybrid network allows topologies that easily adapt to the needs of any application
Single Pair Ethernet is designed for use in demanding industrial environments. Its components have IP67 protection and can operate in a temperature range of -25ºC to 75ºC
By combining data and power in a single cable, Single Pair Ethernet simplifies connection to distributed sensors in the field
The periSWITCH 3-port switches make it easy to create Single Pair Ethernet networks with the topologies required for each application.
periSWITCH is designed for machine mounting with IP67 protection
Pre-terminated periLINE cables with M8 connectors enable quick and error-free installation of Single Pair Ethernet networks in the field.
periLINE cables are available in standard lengths of 0.2m, 1m, 2m and 5m
Edge Computing
The periMICA and ZentEdge Edge Computers are designed for use in industrial environments and provide local processing capabilities for the data obtained from your machines.
Its applications include:
Industrial MQTT broker with Single Pair Ethernet and Ethernet communication
Acquisition of data from smart devices such as code readers, weighing scales or controllers
Local data processing with Node-RED diagrams or Linux applications
Historical record of information in local SQL database
Real-time and historical data visualization applications
ZentEdge
Based on the periMICA Edge Computer, ZentEdge servers are configured to suit the user's needs.
Configuration options include:
MQTT broker optimized for SPE communication
Node-RED development environment
PostgreSQL Database with PgAdmin
Faceplates for real-time data visualization
Dashboards for graphical visualization of trends and analysis of historical data
Edge Computer periMICA
An industrial Edge Computer manufactured by Perinet GmbH that facilitates the development of industrial data processing and communication applications with an information management system.
Its features include:
Compact size 132mm x 35mm x 86mm
Aluminum enclosure with IP67 protection
Dual-core ARM processor with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of local data storage
Operating range from -25ºC to 75ºC
Linux operating system with LXC containers and graphical user interface
SPE, Ethernet and USB communication ports
