Abstract

A centralized managing system for an industrial data storage is provided. The centralized managing system includes at least one industrial apparatus outputting a first interface datum; at least one serial converting interface connected with the industrial device, and converting the first interface datum into a second interface datum; a hub device connected with the at least one serial converting interface, and receiving and transmitting the second interface datum; and at least one storage device connected with the hub device, and storing the second interface datum.

Claims

1. A centralized managing system for an industrial data storage, comprising:

at least one industrial apparatus outputting a first interface datum;

at least one serial converting interface connected with the industrial device, and converting the first interface datum into a second interface datum;

a hub device connected with the at least one serial converting interface, and receiving and transmitting the second interface datum; and

at least one storage device connected with the hub device, and storing the second interface datum.

2. A centralized managing system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first interface datum has a format being one selected from a group consisting of a IDE, a SCSI and a SATA formats which are accessible for the industrial apparatus.

3. A centralized managing system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second interface datum has a format being one selected from a group consisting of a FDDI, an Ethernet, a SAN, a NAS and an iSCSI formats which are accessible for an internet.

4. A centralized managing system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one storage device is connected with an external network, through which accessing the second interface datum.

5. A centralized managing system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one industrial apparatus comprises a connecting interface connecting with the at least one serial converting interface.

6. A centralized managing system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hub device includes a first hub connected with the at least one serial converting interface and a second hub connected to the at least one storage device.

7. A centralized managing system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the first and the second hubs are connected with each other via one selected from a group consisting of a coaxial cable, an internet line or a fiber cable.

8. A centralized managing system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the first and the second hubs are switch hubs, and the second hub is configured for distributing the second interface datum to the at least one storage device.

9. An integrated managing method, comprising steps of:

generating a first interface datum;

converting the first interface datum into a second interface datum;

distributing and storing the second interface datum; and

accessing and managing the second interface datum via an external network.

10. An integrated managing method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the first interface datum has a format being one selected from a group consisting of a IDE, a SCSI and a SATA formats which are accessible for an industrial device.

11. An integrated managing method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the second interface datum has a format being one selected from a group consisting of a FDDI, an Ethernet, a SAN, a NAS and an iSCSI formats which are accessible for an internet.

12. An integrated managing method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the second interface datum is distributed into at least one storage device by a hub device.

13. A remote managing system for an industrial data storage, comprising:

an industrial apparatus outputting a first interface datum;

a serial converting interface connected with the connecting interface, and converting the first interface datum into a second interface datum; and

a storage device connected with the serial converting interface, and storing the second interface datum.

14. A remote managing system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the first interface datum has a format being one selected from a group consisting of a IDE, a SCSI and a SATA formats which are accessible for the industrial apparatus.

15. A remote managing system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the second interface datum has a format being one selected from a group consisting of a FDDI, an Ethernet, a SAN, a NAS and an iSCSI formats which are accessible for an internet.

16. A remote managing system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the storage device is connected with an external network, through which the second interface datum is accessed.

17. A remote managing system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the industrial apparatus comprises a connecting interface connecting with the serial converting interface.
