  • Patent number: 11071071
    Abstract: A method for optimizing power supply life time of an industrial sensor platform which includes a processing unit, a power supply, and transmission means. The method identifies a sensor connected to an industrial platform, verifies a functional setting of the platform, determines sensor power consumption and sensor measurement time ts, and determines transmission power consumption of the transmission means. The method further includes acquiring input parameter settings which includes expected battery life time, sensor reading interval Ts and periodic transmission interval Tw. Which is followed by calculating an optimum for power supply life time, sensor reading interval Ts, and periodic transmission interval Tw. And adjusting settings of the platform for sensor reading interval Ts and periodic transmission interval Tw according to the optimum calculated.
