Detailed Description
In order to more clearly understand the technical features, objects and effects of the embodiments of the present application, specific embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of an access system of a remote industrial laboratory according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The access system of the remote industrial laboratory provided by the embodiment of the application comprises an experimental environment unit 10, wherein the experimental environment unit 10 is deployed on a cloud 60, and the experimental environment unit 10 is configured with an experimental environment matched with experimental contents; a virtual bridge center 20, wherein the virtual bridge center 20 is deployed on the cloud 60, and the virtual bridge center 20 is in communication connection with the experimental environment unit 10 through a first virtual private network based on a data link layer; a device unit 30, said device unit 30 being deployed within said remote industrial laboratory 80, and said device unit 30 being communicatively connected to said virtual bridge center 20 via a second virtual private network based on said data link layer; the experimental environment unit 10 is configured to send an experimental operation instruction for instructing to perform an experimental operation on the device unit 30 to the virtual network bridge center 20 through an experimental environment matched with the experimental content; the virtual network bridge center 20 is configured to receive the experiment operation instruction sent by the experiment environment unit 10, and forward the experiment operation instruction to the equipment unit 30; the device unit 30 is configured to receive the experiment operation instruction forwarded by the virtual bridge center 20, and perform an experiment operation according to the experiment operation instruction.
In this embodiment, the experimental environment unit 10 deployed on the cloud 60 is in communication connection with the virtual bridge center 20 deployed on the cloud 60 through the first vpn based on the data link layer, and the virtual bridge center 20 deployed on the cloud 60 is in communication connection with the equipment unit 30 deployed in the remote industrial laboratory 80 through the second vpn based on the data link layer, so that the experimental environment unit 10 deployed on the cloud 60 is in communication connection with the equipment unit 30 deployed in the remote industrial laboratory 80 through the first vpn and the second vpn based on the data link layer, thereby effectively controlling the experimental equipment in the equipment unit 30 to perform experimental operations. In addition, the experiment environment unit 10 disposed on the cloud 60 is configured with an experiment environment matching with the experiment content, so that an experiment environment meeting the experiment requirements can be provided.
In this embodiment, the cloud end 60 may be a public cloud, a private cloud, a hybrid cloud, or the like. As shown in fig. 2, the experimental environment unit 10 may be formed by a cloud host deployed in a public cloud, and the cloud host as the experimental environment unit 10 is configured with an experimental environment matching experimental content. The experimental environment can be understood as an industrial application 11, such as TIA, SIMATIC Net, etc., which is matched with the experimental contents, so as to provide a complete, reliable and high-performance experimental environment for the students. Particularly, most IT basic knowledge of students taking part in the automatic training course is relatively deficient, so that the experimental environment is prepared in advance, the students can be conveniently and directly accessed to operate through simple operation, the learning threshold of the students is greatly reduced, the experimental failure caused by software problems is avoided, and the learning efficiency is improved. The virtual bridge center 20 may be formed by one or a group of cloud hosts, and the virtual bridge center 20 includes a plurality of isolated virtual bridges 21, where these virtual bridges 21 are called relay ports, that is, the virtual bridges 21 are used to forward the experiment operation instructions sent by the experiment environment unit 10 to the equipment unit 30 deployed in the remote industrial laboratory 80. The virtual bridge 21 may be understood as a bridge function implemented by a configured bridge application program on a cloud host constituting the virtual bridge center 20. Furthermore, according to the experimental contents, all the experimental facilities in the remote industrial laboratory 80 may be designed as the individual independent facility units 30.
In some optional embodiments, the system further comprises: the experimental environment login device 40 is in communication connection with the cloud 60 through the internet, and is used for logging in the experimental environment configured in the experimental environment unit 10 and matched with the experimental content through a remote desktop application installed in the experimental environment login device 40. Therefore, the experiment environment matched with the experiment content configured in the experiment environment unit is logged in through the remote desktop application program installed in the experiment environment login equipment, and the experiment operation of the experiment equipment in the equipment unit can be effectively carried out.
In a specific example, the experimental environment login device 40 may be a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer or other intelligent electronic device with control capability for experimental environment login. The experimental environment login device 40 is in communication connection with the cloud end 60 in a wired or wireless mode, and communicates with the cloud end 60 through a connection channel. Specifically, communication connection can be realized between the experimental environment login device 40 and the cloud 60 through a wired broadband or a mobile network such as GSM, GPRS, LTE, or through modes such as bluetooth, WIFI, infrared ray, and the like, and this embodiment does not limit the specific communication connection mode between the experimental environment login device 40 and the cloud 60. Specifically, the student may log in the experimental environment configured in the experimental environment unit 10 and matched with the experimental content through a remote desktop application carried by a Windows operating system of the desktop computer, and directly operate the experimental equipment in the equipment unit 30 to perform the experimental operation.
In some optional embodiments, the system further comprises: the experiment reservation platform 50 is in communication connection with the cloud end 60 through the internet, and is used for determining an experiment environment image file corresponding to reserved experiment contents according to the reserved experiment contents, generating an experiment environment configuration request according to the experiment environment image file, and sending the generated experiment environment configuration request to the cloud end 60 according to a reserved experiment time period, so that the cloud end 60 configures an experiment environment matched with the reserved experiment contents in the experiment environment unit 10 according to the experiment environment configuration request. Therefore, by reserving the experiment contents and the experiment time periods in the experiment reservation platform, the experiment environment matched with the reserved experiment contents can be configured in the experiment environment unit, so that the experiment operation of the experiment equipment in the equipment unit by a student is facilitated.
In one particular example, the experiment reservation platform 50 may be installed on a desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet computer, or other intelligent electronic device with control capabilities. The experiment reservation platform 50 is in communication connection with the cloud end 60 in a wired or wireless mode, and is in communication with the cloud end 60 through a connection channel. Specifically, communication connection can be realized between the experiment reservation platform 50 and the cloud end 60 through mobile networks such as GSM, GPRS, LTE, or communication connection can be performed through modes such as bluetooth, WIFI, infrared ray, and the like, and this embodiment does not limit the specific communication connection mode between the experiment reservation platform 50 and the cloud end 60. The experiment environment image file stores experiment environment configuration information corresponding to the reserved experiment content, for example, preinstalled information of an industrial application program matched with the reserved experiment content, an installation mode of the industrial application program matched with the reserved experiment content, and the like. When an experiment environment configuration request is generated according to the experiment environment image file, the experiment reservation platform 50 gives the experiment environment configuration information stored in the experiment environment image file to a load field of the experiment environment configuration request to generate the experiment environment configuration request. When the generated experimental environment configuration request is sent to the cloud 60 according to the reserved experimental time period, the experimental reservation platform 50 sends the generated experimental environment configuration request to the cloud 60 according to the experimental starting time point in the reserved experimental time period. Specifically, the experiment reservation platform 50 may send the generated experiment environment configuration request to the cloud 60 before an experiment starting time point in the reserved experiment time period. In an optional implementation manner, after completing configuration of the experimental environment according to the experimental environment configuration request, the cloud 60 sends an experimental environment configuration response to the experimental environment configuration request to the experimental appointment platform 50, where the experimental environment configuration response carries a login password or a login password of the configured experimental environment, and the experimental appointment platform sends an instant message to the handheld terminal of the student according to the received login password or login password of the configured experimental environment carried by the experimental environment configuration response to inform the student of the login password or login password of the configured experimental environment, so as to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the experimental operation performed by the student on the experimental equipment in the equipment unit.
In some optional embodiments, the experiment reservation platform 50 is further configured to send the generated experiment environment release request to the cloud 60 according to an experiment ending time point in the reserved experiment time period, so that the cloud 60 releases the experiment environment unit 10 according to the experiment environment release request. Specifically, the experiment reservation platform 50 may send the generated experiment environment release request to the cloud 60 after the experiment end time point in the reserved experiment time period, so that the cloud 60 releases the experiment environment unit 10 according to the experiment environment release request. Wherein, the load field of the experiment environment release request carries information indicating the experiment environment unit 10 of the cloud end that needs to be released. Therefore, the generated experiment environment release request is sent to the cloud end, so that the cloud end releases the experiment environment unit, the hardware resource of the cloud end can be effectively saved, and the cost for experiment operation of the experiment equipment in the equipment unit by using the experiment environment by students can be saved.
In some optional embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, a terminal bridge 12 is disposed in the experiment environment unit 10, and the virtual bridge center 20 includes a plurality of virtual bridges 21 isolated from each other, and the terminal bridge 12 disposed in the experiment environment unit 10 is communicatively connected to a corresponding virtual bridge 21 in the virtual bridge center 20 through the first virtual private network. By establishing the first virtual private network between the terminal bridge and the corresponding virtual bridge in the virtual bridge center, the experimental environment unit can transmit the data frame based on the data link layer to the corresponding virtual bridge in the virtual bridge center through the terminal bridge.
In a specific example, if experimental operation is performed on the experimental device in the device unit 30 through the experimental environment in the experimental environment unit 10, it is necessary to interface the network between the experimental environment unit 10 and the virtual bridge 21 in the virtual bridge center 20, and for the cloud hosts in the public cloud, although the two cloud hosts appear to be in the local area network of the same IP network segment, communication between the two cloud hosts is implemented through the network layer communication protocol, the data frame based on the data link layer in the experimental environment unit 10 cannot be directly sent to the virtual bridge in the virtual bridge center 20, so that a terminal bridge 12 is also added to the cloud host as the experimental environment unit 10, and establishes the first virtual private network based on the data link layer with the virtual bridge 21 in the virtual bridge center 20. The terminal bridge 12 can be understood to be a gateway device which connects two local area networks.
In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the equipment unit 30 includes: the experimental equipment 32; a device bridge 31, said device bridge 31 being communicatively connected to said experimental device 32; the device bridge 31 is configured to receive the experiment operation instruction forwarded by the virtual bridge center 20, and forward the experiment operation instruction to the experiment device 32; the experimental device 32 is configured to receive the experiment operation instruction forwarded by the device network bridge 31, and perform an experiment operation according to the experiment operation instruction. The device bridge 31 may be understood as a gateway device connecting two lans, and the experimental device 32 may be a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), a frequency converter, a motor, and the like. Therefore, the experimental operation instruction forwarded by the virtual bridge center is forwarded to the experimental equipment through the equipment bridge, and the experimental equipment can be effectively controlled to perform experimental operation according to the experimental operation instruction.
In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the equipment unit 30 further includes: an image capture device 33, said image capture device 33 communicatively connected to said device bridge 31; the image collecting device 33 is configured to collect an image of an experimental operation performed by the experimental apparatus 32 according to the experimental operation instruction, so as to monitor the experimental operation of the experimental apparatus 32. Wherein, the image capturing device 33 may be an IP camera. Therefore, the image acquisition device acquires the image of the experimental operation of the experimental equipment according to the experimental operation instruction, and the experimental operation of the experimental equipment can be effectively monitored.
In some optional embodiments, the device bridge 31 includes an internet of things gateway device, which is integrated with a first internet access and a second internet access, where the first internet access is used as an internal network interface to be communicatively connected with the experimental device 32 and the image acquisition device 33, and the second internet access is used as an external network interface to be communicatively connected with the virtual bridge center 20 through the second virtual private network. Therefore, through the first network port and the second network port integrated by the gateway device of the internet of things, the received experiment operation instruction forwarded by the virtual network bridge center can be effectively forwarded to the experiment device, and the image acquired by the image acquisition device and subjected to experiment operation by the experiment device can be effectively sent to the virtual network bridge center.
In a specific example, the internet of things gateway device may be a SIEMENS IoT2040. By deploying the virtual bridge center 20 in the cloud 60, the SIEMENS IoT2040 at any place can be conveniently accessed to the virtual bridge in the virtual bridge center 20, and any experimental equipment based on the ethernet can be modeled as an independent equipment unit 30 by the SIEMENS IoT2040, so that the equipment unit 30 can be deployed in any place with network conditions, even a mobile laboratory, and is flexible and convenient.
In some optional embodiments, the system further comprises: an egress router 70, the egress router 70 being deployed within the remote industrial laboratory 80 and a first end of the egress router 70 being communicatively coupled to the virtual bridge center 20 and a second end of the egress router 70 being communicatively coupled to the second portal. Thereby, access to the virtual bridge center by the appliance bridge in the appliance unit can be facilitated through the egress router.
In some optional embodiments, the virtual bridge center 20 includes a plurality of isolated virtual bridges 21, and the device bridge 31 included in the device unit 30 establishes the second virtual private network with a corresponding virtual bridge 21 in the virtual bridge center 20 through the egress router 70. Whereby, by establishing the second virtual private network between the appliance bridge and a corresponding one of the virtual bridge centers, the corresponding one of the virtual bridge centers is able to efficiently forward data frames based on the data link layer to the appliance bridge.
In one specific example, a remote industrial laboratory designs all experimental equipment by experimental content as individual independent equipment units 30 connected to the internet through an egress router 70. Each set of equipment unit 30 consists of SIEMENS IoT2040, an IP camera, and experimental equipment. The SIEMENS IoT2040 is a low-cost intelligent Internet of things gateway device, and is integrated with two independent Ethernet ports, one of the Ethernet ports is used as an internal network interface to be connected with the experimental device 32 to realize the function of network segmentation, the other Internet port is connected with an external network to be used as a device bridge 31, and a second virtual private network based on the data link layer is established with the virtual bridge 21 of the virtual bridge center 20 deployed on the public cloud through the egress router 70. Each device bridge 31 has a corresponding virtual bridge 21 in the virtual bridge center 20. Finally, a virtual private network based on the data link layer is built from the cloud experimental environment unit 10 to the remote industrial laboratory equipment unit 30, so that the purpose of completely and directly controlling the experimental equipment 32 in the equipment unit 30 to perform experimental operation from the experimental environment of the cloud experimental environment unit 10 is achieved.
In a specific example, as shown in fig. 4, the remote industrial laboratory access system includes a plurality of the experimental environment units 10, the virtual bridge center 20, and a plurality of the equipment units 30. The terminal bridge 12 in each experimental environment unit 10 is in communication connection with the corresponding virtual bridge 21 in the virtual bridge center 20 through the first virtual private network based on the data link layer, and the corresponding virtual bridge 21 in the virtual bridge center 20 is in communication connection with the corresponding equipment bridge 31 in the equipment unit 30 through the second virtual private network based on the data link layer, so that the virtual private network 90 based on the data link layer between the terminal bridge 12 in each experimental environment unit 10 and the corresponding equipment bridge 31 in the equipment unit 30 is finally built. Specifically, when a plurality of students perform experiment operations simultaneously, the terminal bridge 12 in each experiment environment unit 10 and the corresponding virtual bridge 21 establish a first virtual private network based on the data link layer, and each virtual bridge 21 and the corresponding device bridge 31 in the device unit 30 establish a second virtual private network based on the data link layer. The two-layer virtual private networks (the virtual private network 90 based on the data link layer) which are completely independent are respectively established, so that experimental operations among students who perform experiments at the same time can be ensured not to interfere with each other, and the students can only operate and monitor the experimental equipment distributed to the students.
