1 Introduction

IoTstar is a software developed by ICP DAS for use in remote monitoring and management of the WISE / PMC / PMD controllers in a variety of Industrial IoT applications. IoTstar can be installed on a general PC platform and works as a Private

Cloud management system of WISE / PMC / PMD controller, or on the VM (Virtual

Machine) platform of Microsoft Azure, IBM Bluemix or Amazon AWS, etc. and works as a Public Cloud management system of WISE / PMC / PMD controller. In addition to provide the remote maintenance and firmware update services on WISE /

PMC / PMD controllers, IoTstar also can collect the I/O channel data and power data from the I/O modules (or Sensor) and Power Meter connected to WISE / PMC / PMD, and import these data into the Database to provide the services such as status query and display on the automation control and monitoring system with Cloud environment.

With IoTstar, users can complete the system setting only by a few clicks on Web page, and perform the Remote Access (Status Monitoring, System Setting, and Firmware

Update) and Data Service (Sensor data collected and imported into Database) operations for each WISE / PMC / PMD. Through the SQL database command,

IoTstar can be quickly integrated with the Cloud platforms, data analysis tools (Power

BI, Google Data Studio, etc.) or SCADA systems to help users quickly build the

Cloud “IoT + Big Data” application and significantly reduce the time and cost of building the Cloud “IoT + Big Data” application.

Currently IoTstar supports the following ICP DAS IoT controllers.



WISE-523x series, WISE-2x4x series



PMC-5231 series, PMC-2x4x series

1




PMD series

Figure 1-1 IoTstar System Architecture

The IoTstar system features are as below.



No more programming! Using Browsers to perform Remote Maintenance on

WISE / PMC / PMD controllers, and import the I/O channel data (and Power data) from WISE / PMC / PMD controllers into the Database.

2




Can be installed on the VM (Virtual Machine) platform of the Public Cloud platform such as: Microsoft Azure, IBM Bluemix or Amazon AWS to implement the

Public IoT Cloud solutions on the WISE / PMC / PMD controllers.



Can be installed on Windows system (Windows 7 / 8 / 10, Windows Server) to implement the Private IoT Cloud solutions on the WISE / PMC / PMD controllers.

3




Enables the remote maintenance and firmware update on the WISE / PMC /

PMD controllers via user-friendly and intuitive Web page interface.

4


Collect the Historical and Real-Time sensor data (and Power data) from the WISE /

PMC / PMD controllers, and import them into the Database. User can modify the database data to change the status of the DO/AO channel of the sensor connected to

WISE / PMC / PMD through the SQL command. Please note: IoTstar currently support MS SQL.



By Database interface, it is easy to integrate with SCADA, Data Analysis tools

(Microsoft Power BI, Google Data Studio) or the Service of Cloud platform to retrieve the sensor data (and Power data) directly from the Database for Big Data analysis.

5




User can review the sensor data (and Power data) directly by the built-in IoTstar

Web page interface.



The users can quickly setup the Data pool for their IoT system by receiving and importing the sensor data into the Database through the IoTstar. User can analyze the sensor data with analysis tool, the status can be known, and the necessary actions can be taken in advance to avoid possible damage.

6




IoTstar Bot Service is an optional software package for IoTstar that provides users two-way message interactions between the WISE / PMC / PMD controller managed by IoTstar and LINE chat rooms. IoTstar Bot Service provides an easier and more convenient mechanism for user to manage his/her remote controllers with LINE

App. It does not like the traditional Chatbot which get the information or service by entering the text message; it provides a friendly user interface that includes buttons and dialogue menu to perform the monitoring of remote controllers in an easy way.

With IoTstar Bot Service, users can query the real-time I/O Channel data (or power data) of the on-site I/O modules or power meters and be able to change the value of

DO/AO output channels anytime and anywhere. IoTstar Bot Service also provides functions to receive, store, and query the event messages. The controllers can be triggered to send event messages to IoTstar Bot Service by IF-THEN-ELSE rules.

After IoTstar Bot Service receive these event messages, it would process and send them to relative LINE users for real-time alarm notification. In addition, IoTstar Bot

Service also provides the function to store and query the historical received event
