World Wide Machines (WWMachines.com) Releases a Machine Communications Hub for Web Supervision of Unattended Equipment

November 11 2003--World Wide Machines (WWMachines.com) announced today the immediate availability of a new machine communications hub for remote monitoring of unattended equipment. The wwHub machine communications hub is a complete communications hub providing data connectivity between programmable logic controllers (PLCs), remote terminal units (RTUs), and database servers. The wwHub machine communications hub monitors 1 or more PLC/RTU and exchanges data with 1 or more database. The wwHub package enables secure database-driven monitoring and control system development without the use of expensive proprietary software.

The wwHub package features data acquisition capability, a user-configurable polling cycle, multiple database connectivity, bidirectional communications and SSL encryption. The standard, off-the-shelf wwHub package provides automated dial-out communications for monitoring remote equipment by modem. The standard package also has automated ISP dial-up support for hub PCs that do not have continuous internet connections.

A primary function of the wwHub is to transact data between a network of PLCs/RTUs and the WWMachines.com data center. Other uses include low-cost, powerful intranet maintenance sites for remote equipment and database logging from PLC and RTU networks. Target markets include oil&gas production, municipal water and wastewater systems, pollution control, automatic merchandising systems, HVAC, and manufacturing.

The wwHub is available free of charge to end users, and provides standard configuration tools for MODBUS protocol and MySQL database servers. Technical support and training are available on a fee-for-service basis. The wwHub is 100% compatible with WWMachines.com hosted machine web sites and wwHMI. The wwHub can support many OEM proprietary serial protocols, and is available for OEM licensing and private label.
