Reduction of the data analysis burden - one small step towards IoT.
“Predictive maintenance” can be easily
achieved through monitoring the state
of the Self-Monitoring Sensor.

Previously only ON/OFF data was
required. But, due to an addition of the
incident light intensity data, the PLC
processing burden has increased.
We noticed a change in the incident light
intensity. However, because there is no
judgment criteria, we cannot tell whether
the incident light status is normal or not.
Unless we identify the cause of changes
in the incident light intensity, we cannot
optimize countermeasures targeting the
sensors.
The introduction of IoT requires collection of the incident light intensity data and presents the following problems.

Judgement of the state
Normal
Operation is normal.
Check the settings.
Detected state is faulty.
* Recover to the normal state through
checking installation and settings.
Reduction in the incident light intensity.
Warning
Getting close to the end of service life.
Reached the state where the device
should be replaced.
* Limitation in the writing frequency into the
memory or in the operation hours, etc.
Error
Short-circuited or broken.
Reached the state where it is impossible to
control as a device.
* Short-circuited output, damaged EEPROM,
etc.
