Description
The WECON V-BOX RH-WG-CNC is a high-performance Industrial IoT (IIoT) edge gateway designed for data acquisition, remote monitoring, and CNC machine management. It acts as a bridge between on-site FANUC CNC machines (and other PLCs) and the WECON V-NET cloud platform via Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity.
Here is a detailed explanation of its features and specifications:
Core Functionality & AI Capabilities
CNC Specialization (CNC Model): The RH-WG-CNC model is specifically designed to interface with FANUC CNC systems, allowing for remote monitoring, parameter modification, and data analysis.
IIoT Data Management: It serves as an intelligent gateway for real-time data collection (up to 300-500 points depending on configuration), alarm monitoring (200 points), and historical data recording (100 points).
Predictive Maintenance & AI: By utilizing continuous data monitoring (temperature, speed, torque), the V-BOX aids in identifying potential failures before they occur, minimizing downtime.
Edge Computing (LUA Script): Supports LUA scripting for custom logic, enabling local data preprocessing, protocol definition, and decision-making on the edge before sending data to the cloud.
Hardware Specifications (RH Series)
Processor: High-performance Cortex-A55 4 Core CPU.
Memory: 1GB RAM and 4GB eMMC Flash.
Connectivity:
Wi-Fi: Built-in Wi-Fi module.
4G: Built-in 4G module for cellular connectivity.
Ethernet: 2 Ethernet ports.
Serial Ports: 1x RS232/RS485/RS422 (COM1) and 1x RS485 (COM2).
I/O: 2 relay outputs and 2 optocoupler isolated inputs.
Display Output: Supports HDMI output (Max 3840x2160 resolution) to display data on local, large screens (specifically supports the WS21 touchscreen).
Power: 24V DC (12~28V DC).
Software and Cloud Features (V-NET)
Remote Debugging: Allows for remote uploading/downloading of PLC/CNC programs.
WVPN (Wecon VPN): Provides secure, remote connection to machines for diagnostics.
Cloud Integration: Supports protocols like MQTT, HTTPS, and OPC for easy integration with third-party platforms (HUAWEI, Google IoT, Alibaba Cloud, etc.).
Mobile App: Data, alarms, and history are accessible via the V-NET app on Android/iOS.
