Against the backdrop of rapid development in communication and networking technologies, smart factories are gradually achieving data-driven, networked, and intelligent management. In this trend, the utilization of the Industrial IoT has become an indispensable key step in achieving industrial data collection and control.

Traditional industrial data collection and control systems typically require connection to multiple data collection devices, perform high-speed communication, handle complex data processing, and achieve high-definition multimedia display functions. The embedded system based on ARM+FPGA architecture has rich peripheral interfaces, high-definition display high-speed transmission, and other functions, which are more capable of high-speed industrial data acquisition tasks. The flexibility and performance of this embedded system make it an ideal choice to meet the needs of smart factories, which can effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of industrial data processing.

In the industrial data acquisition and control system, high-speed data acquisition system and embedded human-computer interaction system cooperate closely to build an intelligent industrial management system. The main task of the high-speed data acquisition system is to collect the key data in the industrial production process in real time and ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the data. This involves high-speed communication with multiple data acquisition devices, as well as sophisticated data processing and multimedia display capabilities.

As the main control center, the embedded human-computer interaction system coordinates and manages each module and resource, and is responsible for receiving the data from the FPGA terminal. It not only visualizes the data to the user, but also achieves more flexible control through human-computer interaction. The system also realizes the connection with the industrial MES + ERP system through the communication module, and transmits the collected data to the cloud for storage. This design not only improves the efficiency of data processing, but also greatly reduces the risk of manual data entry, and realizes the intelligent management of industrial data.

The whole system architecture provides a more comprehensive and efficient data management solution for enterprises. This not only helps to reduce human errors in the production process, but also makes better use of human resources and improves production efficiency. With the continuous development of communication and network technology, such industrial data acquisition and control system will become an important support for industrial intelligence in the future.
