Advantages of the MQTT interface from GESIPA®
- Real-time data transmission: Production data is transmitted in real time, enabling immediate analysis and response.
- Resource efficiency: MQTT requires minimal network bandwidth and device resources.
- Scalability: The system can be easily expanded to integrate additional tools or data points.
- Reliability: MQTT provides mechanisms to ensure data transmission even with unstable network connections.
The Interface 4.0 serves as a link for seamlessly exchanging control commands and data between the devices and the network. This connection not only allows the tool itself to be controlled, but also enables the riveting results to be transmitted for further processing and line control.
Advantages of the PROFINET interface from GESIPA®
- Uniform Ethernet cable: Instead of 32 hard-wired digital I/Os, you only need a standard Ethernet cable.
- Seamless integration: Easily integrate the interface into your existing PLC environment.
- Flexible I/O system: Use freely programmable inputs and outputs for a wide range of applications.
- Efficient real-time exchange: Commands and measurement data can be exchanged in real time without additional programming effort for proprietary protocols.
- Advanced control functions: Benefit from advanced control functions tailored to the requirements of industrial applications.
The Interface 4.0 PROFINET enables comprehensive control and integration of GESIPA® rivet tools into an automated industrial network, ensuring precise data transmission and smooth process flows.
