Q: Can I bring data from the Vibration and Temperature Sensors into my PLC or SCADA/DCS system?

A: Yes, you can integrate GraceSense™ Vibration and Temperature Sensor data into your PLC, SCADA, or DCS system using several methods:

  • EtherNet/IP™ (Rockwell PLCs): Use the ControlGate™ or ComboGate™ and our Custom Add-On Profile (AOP) to natively map sensor data into Studio 5000®. The AOP provides pre-defined tags for seamless integration with Rockwell controllers.

  • Modbus TCP/IP: Both ControlGate and ComboGate support Modbus TCP/IP for integration with a wide range of industrial systems.

  • RESTful API: For cloud or hybrid solutions, the GraceSense™ Maintenance Hub offers a RESTful API that allows third-party software platforms to pull sensor data directly from the cloud.

This flexibility allows data from wireless sensors to be used in both edge and cloud environments depending on your application needs.
