As far as the input end of the sensor product is concerned, it must be able to adapt to the interconnection of the Internet of Things and fully perceive the application requirements, and its application measurement objects will become very diverse. Compared with current products, the measured temperature, pressure, and flow rate are fixed. For several kinds of conventional physical quantities, the application range and functional requirements of the measurement need to be greatly expanded, such as online analysis, optical fiber sensing, etc. This actually depends on the development of sensor MEMS technology.

The program that was eventually promoted mainly focused on the terminal of the heating network, and used the household heat metering technology of the off-time on-off area method to install the thermostat in the residents' homes. The indoor thermostat can communicate wirelessly with the controller in the tube well, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the hot water valve, and automatically adjusting the indoor temperature of the heating level.

In recent years, industry demand continues to drive the development of instrumentation. Compared with international companies, although the development of domestic enterprises has also taken a step, but under the impact of new demand, it is increasingly synchronized with the needs of the market.

The development of the Internet of Things opens the market breadth Although from an application point of view, instrumentation is only a product branch under the huge scale of the Internet of Things industry, but the Internet of Things focuses on expanding the characteristics of the application field, which is equivalent to opening up many new markets for the instrumentation industry. The door, to create a huge boost for it.

In response, Wang Yue, deputy general manager and chief engineer of Beijing Far East Instrument Co., Ltd., said that from the perspective of policy guidelines and national support, the Internet of Things's role in promoting instrumentation is immense, and there are many industries targeted by the current Internet of Things. In addition to the traditional industrial fields, it has many applications in public safety, safety production, urban management, energy conservation, and emission reduction. The requirements for instrumentation for each type of demand are not the same, so the instrumentation industry It can be said that in the face of unlimited opportunities.

Application expansion seeks key technologies In fact, sensors and instrumentation are devices that form the basic level of the Internet of Things. The key to the technology is the input and output of data. The development of the Internet of Things in the face of a wide range of application industries also requires that relevant key technologies be resolved.

Wang Yue pointed out that for the input end of products, in order to be able to adapt to the Internet of Things's connection and comprehensively aware of the application requirements, its applied measurement objects will become very diverse. Compared with the current fixed measurement temperature of such products, Several common physical quantities such as pressure, flow, etc., need to be greatly expanded in their application range and functional requirements, such as on-line analysis, optical fiber sensing, etc. This actually depends on the development of sensor MEMS technology.

At the output end of the data, it will inevitably involve the data transmission at the network layer. This requires that the output data can be unimpeded. In addition to the current fieldbus, the wireless communication will become an essential function of the measurement products. At present, although wireless and other technologies have been widely used in some industrial fields, due to the industry's wait-and-see attitude towards its reliability, it is still in the status of being unsupervised.

Speaking of the instrumentation field, there is still a major problem in the development of the Internet of Things, which is the interface specification problem. With the breadth of application of the Internet of Things, it will inevitably involve a lot of agreements, but each company's product agreements are not the same, there will be great obstacles in the interconnection and interconnection. In addition, the instrument products required by some government-led people's livelihood applications require small, low-cost, high-reliability and low power consumption at the same time. This depends more on the development of MEMS technology. This is also the future. One direction that needs to be addressed.

Heating metering system into energy-saving typical cases For this reason, Far East Instrument has also set up the Internet of Things Division. Its main responsibilities are to provide specialized solutions based on the exploration and focus of application of the Internet of Things. Among them, energy saving has become an important application area of ​​the Internet of Things. In this regard, the heat metering system that Far East Instrument is making great efforts to develop and popularize is a typical civilian energy-saving utility case.

Wang Yue introduced that in the past, the residents’ heating systems were basically free from any measurement, and their heat supply was relatively extensive; while Beijing and other regions have vigorously promoted a separate household heat metering system, which is intended to make full use of this new measurement system to make full use of resources. Effective use, to avoid waste to the maximum extent, and ultimately achieve the purpose of implementing heating and energy conservation. On the other hand, self-regulation can be achieved through accurate measurement of heat supply for residents, supply of gas and even power supply, and the use of heat on demand also saves money for resident users.

The program that was eventually promoted mainly focused on the terminal of the heating network, and used the household heat metering technology of the off-time on-off area method to install the thermostat in the residents' homes. The indoor thermostat can communicate wirelessly with the controller in the tube well, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the hot water valve, and automatically adjusting the indoor temperature of the heating level. Using the functions of the entire system, these related data can be automatically fed back to the data collection box, and further summarized to the upper heating data management platform through GPRS and other communication methods.

He pointed out that compared with the previous fixed heating method, the user can adjust the heat according to the demand to meet the residential comfort requirements, resulting in fluctuations in the total amount of heat supply on a macro scale, providing a space for energy saving for the heat source plant. It is through the heating metering system that the heat source plant can collect relevant data as a reference, so that the output of the heat source is more reasonable and ultimately achieves the purpose of energy conservation. This is a typical case of integrating instrumentation into the Internet of Things.

When it comes to heat metering, benefiting from the vigorous promotion of the government society, this type of product is expected to have an explosive demand within five years. He also pointed out that with the increasing application requirements in various fields, instrumentation will continue to face new research and development needs, still taking the energy-saving emission reduction field as an example, many specific applications also lack dedicated instrumentation products, which will promote Instrumentation industry research and development and industrialization process.
