What this category’s data looks like

Data sources for this category include online composition analysis, DCS systems, laboratories, kiln and grinding equipment, raw fuel ledgers, and energy metering devices. Data update frequencies are divided into three types: real-time (such as kiln and grinding operating parameters), shift-based (such as equipment inspection records), and daily (such as energy consumption reports).

Daily routine documents include raw material batching plans, kiln operation records, laboratory reports, quality control notices, equipment inspection records, and energy reports. Fields cover raw material ratio values, kiln temperature parameters, clinker strength indicators, equipment operating duration, and similar metrics. Units include degrees Celsius, kilowatt-hours, tons, and similar units.

Constraints imposed on HTTP interfaces and external systems

Multiple heterogeneous data sources require interfaces to support different authentication and request formats. This accommodates access requirements from online equipment, laboratory systems, and other terminals.

High-frequency real-time data updates require interfaces to set reasonable timeout thresholds. This prevents request blocking that disrupts production processes.

Batch submission of shift-based and daily documents requires interfaces to support batch transmission. This avoids timeouts caused by excessive single-request data volume.

Field differences across business documents require interfaces to accept custom variable parameters. This adapts to data upload scenarios such as raw material batching and clinker strength testing.

How to configure settings

This document is written based on the configuration logic of FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
AuthorizationBearer {custom token}, token valid for 7200 secondsAdapts to the Bearer authentication standard used by most equipment systems in cement plants, matches shift-based business cycles
variablesIncludes custom fields such as raw material ratio, kiln temperature parameters, clinker strength indicatorsSupports parameter transfer for different business scenarios such as raw material batching and quality inspection
responseDataReturns status code, error details, data reception identifierFacilitates quick identification of specific failure points during interface calls
Request timeout30–60 secondsAdapts to real-time data upload and batch document transmission requirements, calibrated via on-site testing
Batch transfer limit800–1200 characters per requestMatches the average data volume of shift-based inspection records and energy reports, avoids request overload

Three common configuration errors

  • An interface call returns a 401 status code, and quality control notices generated by the laboratory cannot be submitted. The cause is incorrect configuration of the Authorization parameter, token format that does not comply with the authentication rules of connected equipment, or an expired token.
  • Batch-submitted daily energy report data is truncated or lost. The cause is failure to set a reasonable batch transfer limit, with single-request data volume exceeding the interface’s bearing threshold, leading to partial data being discarded.
  • The responseData returned by the interface lacks key business fields, failing to trigger clinker quality abnormality alerts. The cause is failure to configure necessary parameters such as clinker strength and mineral composition in variables, leading to failed data verification and subsequent quality fluctuation risks.

How to confirm configuration is complete

  • Call the test interface to submit simulated raw material batching plan data. Check if the returned responseData includes the expected reception identifier fields, to confirm that authentication and parameter transfer function properly.
  • Simulate batch submission of documents matching the current business data volume. Observe if the interface has no timeouts or data truncation, to confirm that batch transmission configuration meets current business requirements.
  • Manually modify the Authorization parameter to an invalid value. Initiate a call to confirm that a correct authentication failure prompt is returned, to verify that the authentication configuration takes effect.
  • Check the logs of connected equipment. Confirm that the variables parameter of the interface request fully matches the fields of the business document, to confirm that the parameter configuration adapts to the business scenario.
