IIoT based operational technology system for monitoring belt transmissions

The aim of the presented research is to study concepts of identifying anomalies in the operation of synchronous belt transmissions. Consideration was given to the possibility of reducing the number of measurements necessary to determine the key parameters of the drive system. According to Industry 4.0 standards, the prototype of such a system is based on the Industrial Internet of Things. The proposed solution is a multiplatform, integrated information technology, generates data on the basis of various, distributed sources. The system combines standard industrial hardware and software facilities, adjusted to Ethernet-based networking. The expected result was a graphical data representation accessible in digital displays, acquired from the computational nodes (e.g. cloud). Thus, it is possible to extend the field of experiments to analyse the condition of transmission operation-all this is possible thanks to the developed and studied assembly techniques and IT connections, as well as algorithms and automation in data acquisition and processing.
