IIoT gateways are key to enabling device interoperability across geographies

Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-01-30

With the continuous advancement of IIoT technology, IIoT gateways have become an important part of industrial automation systems in the field. It can not only realize remote communication and data transmission between devices, but also realize the interoperability of devices across regions, thus bringing convenience and efficiency to work.

In the industrial site, there are generally various equipment for upper and lower computers. The upper computer usually refers to the control center, which is responsible for monitoring and controlling the lower computer, and can receive the data transmitted by the lower computer (PLC, instrumentation, industrial robots, CNC machine tools), and analyze and process the data to achieve remote management and data analysis. Cross-regional device interoperability can be achieved through smart terminals such as mobile phones and computers.

The industrial IoT gateway can collect data from PLC, instrumentation, industrial robots, CNC machine tools and other equipment and build a real-time communication network with the host computer to realize real-time monitoring of the operation status of the industrial site, remote control equipment start and stop, PLC remote maintenance of advanced programs, etc., bringing convenience to various industrial intelligent applications.

1. Rich networking and interface functions, easy to deploy.

It supports 5G 4G WiFi, Ethernet and other network access modes, network port, serial port, IO port and other devices, and supports LoRa wireless transmission, disconnection reconnection and multi-network mutual backup functions.

2. Rich protocol analysis, intelligent collection and control.

Embedded protocol analyzer, supporting mainstream industrial control protocols and customized unique protocols (such as PLC protocol, instrumentation protocol, power protocol, industrial robots, machine tools, etc.).Embedded edge computing intelligent algorithms can efficiently and stably collect and control various industrial equipment data.

3. Centralized data management, easy to manage equipment.

Through the standardization of MQTT for multiple data types, the efficiency and cost of interconnection to the cloud platform are controlled to a reasonable range, and the standardization and platformization of different systems and different devices are realized. It supports functions such as remotely reading gateway status, remotely controlling gateways, remotely configuring devices and variables, and remotely reading and writing device data.

4. Remote programming and maintenance, time-saving, labor-saving and safe.

Through the remote maintenance channel, remote engineers can use a safe and reliable VPN channel to carry out remote program on-hand, remote programming and debugging operations, which is efficient and labor-saving, and eliminates the trouble of business trips.
