How to Achieve Remote Programming, Debugging, and Program Uploading/Downloading (Data Acquisition) for FATEK PLC

FATEK PLC is a commonly seen brand of domestic PLCs, known for its high reliability and stability, coupled with the advantage of local nearby services.

 It is widely used in various industrial scenarios.

Wutong Bolian provides a data acquisition solution for FATEK PLC based on industrial smart gateways, enabling functions such as remote monitoring of PLCs, PLC fault alarms, remote programming and debugging of PLCs, and remote uploading/downloading of PLC programs.

 It also offers internet connectivity options including 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet, assisting enterprises in achieving device data cloud uploading and the establishment of data management platforms.

Users need to connect the Wutong Bolian industrial smart gateway to the FATEK PLC via a serial port or network port and configure the interface parameters and acquisition rules.

 After the gateway collects data from the FATEK PLC, it performs edge computing and data standardization before uploading the data to a cloud platform or upper computer for remote monitoring and management. Meanwhile, engineers can remotely program and debug the FATEK PLC, as well as upload/download programs, through the Device Maintenance Express.

Functional Benefits

1. Device Access: The gateway is capable of parsing protocols and acquiring data from PLCs of various brands, including Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Schneider, Delta, HuiChuan, and FATEK, and uploading the data to a cloud platform or upper computer via 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet.

2. Data Monitoring: Collected data such as temperature, humidity, pressure, current, and device on/off status can be visually displayed and monitored on mobile and computer terminals, with automatic alarms for abnormal data notified via WeChat, SMS, email, etc.

3. Edge Computing: Functions such as intelligent acquisition, data filtering, alarm calculation, jump triggering, formula calculation, and grouping strategies are implemented, effectively reducing bandwidth pressure and operational costs of cloud servers while improving transmission rates.

4. Remote Operations: By establishing a remote VPN data channel, functions such as remote programming and debugging of PLCs, remote uploading/downloading of PLC programs, and remote control of PLCs (e.g., remote starting/stopping of water pump motors and parameter modifications) can be achieved.
