By adding remote control and monitoring capabilities, this creative solution dramatically increases convenience, flexibility, and efficiency within adhesive tape manufacturing operations. The two main nodes of the system are each intended to support a certain function required for remote control and monitoring. Utilizing a nRF module for wireless communication and an STM32 board as its main controller, the ROSTCD_HMENode acts as a direct interface between the hot-melt extruder machine. It includes all the necessary parts, including an RTC module for accurate timekeeping, a relay unit for controlling the extruder machine, an indicator for status display, and a separate power supply to guarantee reliable operation. Serving as a crucial connection between the extruder apparatus and the remote control interface, the ROSTCD_HMENode efficiently optimizes communication.
On the other hand, the ROSRCD_HMENode serves as the authorized personnel's and operators' remote control interface. It shares the same STM32 board and nRF module for wireless communication as its predecessor, but it also has extra parts designed for user interface and internet access. These consist of an ESP01 WiFi module for internet access, an HMI display to provide an intuitive user interface, a keypad for command input, an audible feedback buzzer, and a dedicated power supply to ensure continuous operation. A bespoke user interface that may be accessed via a web dashboard allows for remote access to the extrusion machine through the ROSRCD_HMENode.
The smooth use of nRF wireless technology for communication between the two nodes is essential to the operation of this novel system. The ROSTCD_HMENode's keypad allows operators and authorized people to remotely manage the hot-melt extruder machine. Alternatively, they can access the web dashboard the ROSTCD_HMENode provides by inputting commands. The ROSTCD_HMENode receives commands and instructions wirelessly provided from the remote control interface. It subsequently activates the relay unit to carry out appropriate activities on the extrusion machine. The ROSTCD_HMENode's indicator and the ROSRCD_HMENode's buzzer both provide real-time status updates and feedback, enabling effective extruder machine control and monitoring from any place with internet connectivity.
