Badania diagnostyczne parametrów przekładni z zastosowaniem przemysłowych elementów automatyki oraz protokołu http

W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono badania związane z pomiarem temperatury, jako jednego z symptomów uszkodzenia przekładni, na stanowisku mocy zamkniętej z wykorzystaniem wybranych elementów automatyki. Stanowisko badawcze podłączone było do sieci Ethernet, w ramach której odbywała się komunikacja z urządzeniami wykonawczymi oraz rejestracja wyników. Realizując badania skupiono się na wyznaczeniu czasu dostępu do urządzeń z wykorzystaniem protokołu http.

Aiming for assurance of constant work of a particular machine, monitoring of its current technical characteristics is needed nowadays. In many cases, devices allowing for performance of this task have an option of a remote monitoring as well as configuration via a WLAN network. Usually, a protocol TCP/IP is used. It is a very convenient solution because via an internet browser or a program of Telnet type - a serviceman can connect to an adequate device and analyze the registered data. However, it is worth recognizing whether an access time (to the device) as well as a delay time after which information is presented on the monitoring screen is sufficient for making a decision e.g. connected with emergency on-off switch of the machine. Therefore, in this paper, an attempt of analysis of the gear monitoring system is described. We measured the duration time of a transaction of data exchange in the proposed (applied) distributed monitoring system of the power-closed-loop gear. In our case, TCP/IP stack of protocols was responsible for data exchange. In majority of installations for diagnostics - PLC industrial controllers are used. They are also equipped with PID or FLC controllers. They enable simultaneous registering and analyzing (in a real time) of several symptoms characteristic for machine work status. However, some manufacturers offer series of new industrial solutions which allow for an access using the http protocol - i.e. for example via an internet browser. A diagnostic procedure enabling spotting/detection of a failure e.g. during a work of a gear - without any necessity of its disassembly and breakage in service duties - ensures reducing the stoppage time as well as preventing a failure of the entire system i.e. drive system.
