Free conanair MQTT connect: Simplify PLC & System Integration

"MQTT connect" Accelerates conanair Data Integration

We have released "MQTT connect" as a free plugin to provide simple diagnosis data from the conanair wireless vibration sensor to other systems. By using this plugin, it becomes possible to automatically and periodically deliver (Publish) vibration trend data (summary data such as velocity RMS values and acceleration peak values) acquired by conanair to an MQTT Broker (MQTT Server). This makes data integration with on-site PLCs (sequencers), existing production management systems, SCADA, and various IoT platforms overwhelmingly easier.
* Available free of charge for all conanair models and versions, including for existing users.

Development Background: Balancing Simple and Precision Diagnosis

conanair's greatest strength is its "precision diagnosis (anomaly prediction)" for bearings using "10-second raw data (waveforms)" based on patented technology, which can be easily executed with the included FFT analysis app. However, in actual manufacturing sites and plants, there is a significant need for "simple diagnosis," where the goal is to "first monitor the trend (changes over time) of vibration values, and perform precision diagnosis only when the values increase." The standard flow of predictive maintenance is to capture signs of anomalies (rising trends) through simple diagnosis, and then identify the root cause (unbalance, bearing flaws, etc.) through precision diagnosis.

Minimizing System Development Effort

"MQTT connect" is a powerful tool to automate this simple diagnosis and integrate it with external systems. It extracts only summary values from the data files created for each measurement and periodically delivers them as lightweight trend data to upper-level systems (such as PLCs acting as MQTT Subscribers via an MQTT Broker). Since data can be received using the standard MQTT protocol without the need to build special programs from scratch, a smart predictive maintenance structure can be built with significantly reduced system development effort.

Ideal for "Retrofitting" to PLCs and IoT Systems

For site managers and System Integrators (SIers) looking to retrofit vibration monitoring capabilities to existing equipment and systems, MQTT connect is the optimal solution.

• Significant Reduction in Development Man-Hours: Adopting the open MQTT protocol makes it easy to integrate into existing system networks.
• Provided Completely Free: Available free of charge even to existing users. It is an open specification usable with all models.
• Minimization of Communication Load: By smartly distinguishing between large-volume "raw data" that consumes network bandwidth and lightweight "summary data (trends)" for monitoring according to the system configuration, it prevents excessive load on the servers.

Supplementary Notes on MQTT Broker

• Please provide your own MQTT Broker
  If you already have an available MQTT Broker environment, you can use it as is.
• Local and cloud integration are both supported
  The MQTT Broker can be located on-premises (local environment), in the cloud, or at a remote location via the cloud without any integration issues.
• A cloud environment (internet connection) is not mandatory
  It can be operated entirely within a closed local network inside a factory that is not connected to external networks.

As conanair continues to pursue "ease of use" and "ease of data integration" in the field, please contact us via the inquiry form to request the completely free "MQTT connect" plugin or to learn more about configuration methods.
