Networked Remote Monitoring System for NC Turret Punch Press

With the rapid development of the modern technology, 3G network technology has become increasingly widespread. Using the high speed transmission characteristics of 3G network technology, the system components of a remote monitoring system based on 3G for NC turret punch press (NCT) is proposed, which solve slow transmission rate, narrow bandwidth besides faults of other network used in NCT. Based on the analysis of the 3G network technology application in the remote monitoring, the application architecture of the remote monitoring system is presented that suits for NCT, and a complete design plan of hardware and software is provided to achieve 3G technology applying to remote monitoring of NCT. A reference to network management and maintenance for manufacturing equipments is given.
