The HYDAC Data+ edge computer is a customisable device that’s designed to process data quicker and improve control at the edge.
The Data+ edge computer has a pre-installed software platform, meaning that it isn’t necessary to install any software to use it. This is beneficial in that all of the software is fully maintained within the Data+ and can also be stored on a SD card.
With edge computing, data can be transferred to a higher-level system via an Ethernet connection, using Modbus TCP, Profinet, TCP/IP, UDP/IP or OPC UA. Sensors can be accommodated via IO-Link masters or other remote I/O modules via Modbus TCP, Profinet or CANopen.
Edge computing includes a software framework that provides web visualisation capabilities, as well as a database (up to 128 GB) and database extensions that users can use to view, manage and control data. Node-Red provides users with a graphical interface to control data.
All parameters and sensors that are being supervised can come with customisable alarm settings, which can be adjusted through web visualisation HMI.
The device has an IP65 protection class and also offers a USB 2.0 port, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity options upon request. The operating temperature range is -20 to +85°C.
