What are 'Main Unit' and 'Child Unit'
Emsiot offers models with identical capabilities as either a ‘Main Unit’ or a ‘Child Unit.’ This system allows for price adjustments based on the ‘convenience features’ that best meet customer needs, while maintaining core performance.
Main Unit
Equipped with Communication Function
(LTE Communication)
Capabilities
☑ Remote operation without PLC control via remote controller
☑ Banner notifications for abnormalities
☑ Remote control from smartphone or PC
☑ Automatic maintenance record logging
Child Unit
Equipped with Receiving Function
(Wi-SUN Communication)
Capabilities
☑ Remote operation without PLC control via remote controller
☑ Communication with the main unit
☑ Upgradable to a main unit□ Banner notifications for abnormalities□ Remote control from smartphone or PC□ Automatic maintenance record logging
If you are uncertain and feel that such advanced features may not be necessary at this time, we recommend starting with a Child Unit. Should you later require notification or maintenance functions, you can enjoy the same features as the Main Unit. By offering tiered functionality options, we are better able to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
Patterns
Suggestion
| Usage Patterns | Advantages | Disadvantages | |
| ① | Main Unit Only | ・Remote services are available ・Signal is less likely to be interrupted | |
| ② | Main Unit + Remote Controller | ・Remote services are available ・Allows remote operation without PLC | |
| ③ | Main Unit + Child Unit | ・One Main Unit can communicate with multiple Child Units | ・Signal reception may vary depending on the location of the Child Unit |
| ④ | Main Unit + Child Unit + Remote Controller | ・One Main Unit can communicate with multiple Child Units ・Allows remote operation without PLC | ・Signal reception may vary depending on the location of the Child Unit |
| ⑤ | Child Unit Only | ・Communication features can be added later ・PLC setup is required for remote operation ・Remote services are not available | ・PLC setup is required for remote operation ・Remote services are not available |
| ⑥ | Child Unit + Remote Controller | ・Allows remote operation without PLC ・Communication features can be added later | ・Remote services are not available |
*“What is Remote Service?”
⇒ Refers to all IoT-related functions, including notification, maintenance management, and remote operation features.
Usage Example
Using Inside Equipment
When installing a dust collector inside production equipment, it is ideal to control the dust collector remotely from the existing equipment’s control panel and manage filter clogging. However, this requires additional PLC setup. Since reducing PLC setup costs can be challenging, it is essential to choose a simple and affordable dust collector to keep the overall installation cost low.
With Emsiot, remote operation is possible without the need for PLC setup,
allowing you to use a high-quality dust collector at a more affordable price.
○ Typical Estimated Costs for Introducing a Compact Dust Collector”
- Dust Collector: 2,000 USD – 5,000 USD
- PLC Setup Cost: 8,000 USD and up
- etc.
Total: 10,000 USD and up
“○ Estimated Costs with Emsiot (Per Unit)”
-
Dust Collector: 6,000 USD – 15,000 USD
-
PLC Setup Cost: 0 USD
-
Remote Controller: 500 USD and up
Total: 6,000 USD and up
| Product | Models | Number of Units | Effect |
| Dust Collector | H05 Series | 3 | Notifications are sent to your smartphone in case of abnormalities. |
| Remote Controller | RC10-V1 | 3 | Allows for individual power control and abnormality monitoring. |
-
No need for filter replacement inspections anymore.
-
Strong suction power allowed for multiple branch connections, reducing the number of units required.
-
Added a dust collector to existing equipment without incurring PLC setup costs.
Placing Next to Machinery for Use
“○ Using Dust Collectors with Cutting and Laser Processing Machines”
Typically, manufacturers specify or recommend certain dust collectors, or existing ducts in the facility are used for dust collection. In recent years, some machines come equipped with filter clogging indicators; however, operators still need to patrol the area to check for these alerts.
With Emsiot, traditional PLC settings can be configured to send banner notifications only in case of abnormalities, while maintaining synchronized operation with machinery. Additionally, total operating time can be monitored, making it possible to approximate the total runtime of new equipment based on the dust collector’s operating time. This feature enables easier assessment of overall equipment wear and timing for maintenance.
When integrated into new or newly installed equipment
Total operating time of the dust collector
≈ Total operating time of the equipment.
-
Filter replacement history is now recorded automatically.
-
Notifications alert you in case of issues, reducing the need for frequent patrols.
-
The system even enables estimation of maintenance timing for equipment and processing machines.
Using at a Distance from the Operator
○ When Installing a Dust Collector with a Hood Over a Conveyor
If the dust collector is installed in an area where no operators are present, someone must periodically check if it is functioning correctly. This can lead to uncertainty about the last inspection, who performed it, and how long ago the filter was replaced. It’s easy to miss the timing for filter replacement, often resulting in unexpected breakdowns
With Emsiot, you can check from your smartphone or PC when and by whom the last inspection and filter replacement were performed. This allows you to review inspection history for any number of units, no matter where they are installed, without needing to visit each location.
-
Only a few operators are needed to manage everything perfectly, reducing staff workload.
-
The system automatically shuts down before a breakdown occurs and provides the cause, significantly reducing failures.
-
Since regular monitoring isn’t necessary, transitioning responsibilities to other staff members has become easier.
