Recently, the “Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Action Plan (2021-2023)” released by the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pointed out that the next three years will be a period of rapid growth of my country’s industrial Internet, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus on solving the deep problems in the development of the Industrial Internet. Difficulties and pain points at different levels, promote industrial digitization, and drive digital industrialization. The industrial Internet integration application is different from the Internet innovation application. The main battlefield of the industrial Internet is the real economy, facing the industry, based on the industry, and serving the industry. This article takes ADI’s industry-leading products and technical solutions as an example to illustrate how to highlight the core advantages of the Industrial Internet, promote the transformation of the manufacturing industry to a data-driven innovation system and development model, continue to expand new space for industrial development, and promote industrial Internet application innovation.
Software and hardware empowerment, the innovative application of industrial Internet continues to deepen
Carry out the research and development of basic software and hardware of the Industrial Internet, promote the research on the fusion technology of the new generation of information technology and the Industrial Internet, and strengthen the promotion of industrial equipment, industrial control systems, and industrial software. new space. Among them, digital products need to be more widely popularized. With the continuous improvement of technology maturity, new digital components such as industrial 5G chips/modules/gateways, smart sensors, and edge computing chips will drive the cost of intelligent transformation of equipment and production lines. Visualization and low-code development tools continue to be optimized, and the difficulty of industrial software development and application will gradually decrease. The output capability of industrial Internet system solution providers will be effectively deepened, the coverage areas will continue to expand, and the level of digitalization in all aspects of production will continue to improve.
In the process of industrial interconnection and networking, condition-based monitoring (CbM) is an increasingly important strategy and may be the first to be implemented. With the emergence of open source development platforms using Python and MATLAB, the application of CbM is also becoming more and more important. more and more widely. ADI recently released a new hardware development kit, CN0549, for vibration-centric condition-based monitoring. The kit is capable of interfacing with existing hardware processors, including Arduino form-factor-compatible FPGAs and microcontroller-based units, allowing design portability.
As a three-part kit, the CN0549 provides hardware designers, software engineers, and algorithm developers with a rapid development platform for deploying vibration-based condition monitoring. The kit provides the required HDL and software with open source License to allow data migration to MATLAB and Python via ADI’s Sensor Toolbox and pyadi iio.

Based on the IEPE interface, the vibration sensor technology adopted by the CN0549 CBM platform adopts a 2-wire standard, driven by a current source, and the determined reference voltage is usually between 10 V and 30 V. The signal from the sensor is applied to a reference voltage, which modulates the signal. This modulated signal provides real-time data in the time and frequency domains. Signal processing techniques can be used to develop coherent data algorithms. A key factor in ensuring data integrity is connecting MEMS sensors to monitor equipment. ADI has designed a mounting plate specifically to solve this problem, allowing a repeatable interface between the sensor and the device being monitored.

Vibration monitoring is just one method applied in preventive maintenance condition monitoring strategies, the proliferation of IoT sensor technology and industrial automation will also mean less manual labor for humans, requiring evolving skills in system monitoring and management. Manufacturers need more flexible systems that can quickly and easily adapt to changing requirements, rather than relying on fixed, large-scale systems designed for volume-market products and predictable demand. ADI’s new AD74412R and AD74413R feature reconfigurable module channels that allow for quick and easy remote design of flexible control systems without extensive rewiring. This greatly increases the speed and flexibility of implementation for manufacturers and industrial operators, and enables them to make changes without significantly increasing costs and downtime.
Deploy a more high-speed and reliable industrial Internet communication network
In addition, in the new round of rapid development cycle of the Industrial Internet, the upgrading and optimization of the production line construction of enterprises, the trend of flattening, flexibility, and the complementary development of wired and wireless become more clear, the industrial field bus evolves towards the industrial Ethernet, and the time-sensitive network (TSN), deterministic networking, edge computing and other technologies have accelerated development. The advantage of the Industrial Internet is the ability to take full advantage of the ever-increasing data collected by sensors to make better decisions, and in the entire industrial automation system, the timely acquisition and transmission of data depends on network connectivity. Therefore, to cope with the ever-increasing amount of data, both network technology and manufacturing processes and methods must be continuously improved. Smart, connected automation environments require digitally connected control systems, industrial equipment, production line robots, and more to create and share information. The way these machines communicate and the factory communication networks they deploy are the core of the enterprise and the key to the realization of the Industrial Internet.
It is foreseeable that future industrial Internet applications must support various common network topologies, such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP®, EtherCAT®, POWERLINK® and other common industrial Ethernet protocols, as well as line and ring topologies and star topologies. ADI’s fido5000 family of products is a real-time Ethernet, multiprotocol (REM) switch chip with two Ethernet ports and is a programmable IEEE 802.3 10 Mbps/100 Mbps Ethernet Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) switch that supports virtually any Layer 2 or Layer 3 protocol. Plus, it can connect to any host processor, allowing developers to use their own processor and their preferred development environment.
It is worth mentioning that the fido5000 also supports Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), and the demands of future TSN-based industrial Ethernet applications will be able to meet the very demanding real-time requirements of applications such as motion control or security. In an industrial setting, even a millisecond of communication latency can have a negative and costly impact on a manufacturer’s product quality, throughput, and efficiency. ADI’s new Chronous® family of industrial Ethernet solutions, the ADIN1300, further addresses the important challenges of deploying industrial Ethernet connectivity with low latency and small package size to ensure real-time and reliable industrial communications, thereby shortening industrial Ethernet network network cycle time. This is an Industrial Ethernet Physical Layer (PHY) product to help manufacturers address key Industry 4.0 and smart factory communication challenges, including data integration, synchronization, terminal connectivity and system interoperability.
