In the previous article, we introduced the application scenarios of industrial gateways and where they are used. Then let’s talk about the functions of industrial gateway . As well as the special functions of the EG8000 series industrial gateway developed by Zongheng Intelligent Control.
What are the functions of industrial gateways?
The following will first introduce the functions that many industrial gateways on the market have. After the introduction, we will introduce the special functions of Zongheng Intelligent Control’s EG8000 series industrial gateways.
Multiple communication methods, efficient transmission
Suitable for various communication protocols, efficient and convenient
The collected port numbers are rich and colorful and can realize router functions.
Large storage, data information is not network packet loss
Industrial design options with ultra-clear touch screen
Manageable level
First, supervise the gateway IP, such as registration management, management permissions, status control, etc. By obtaining nodes such as node flags, situations, characteristics, kinetic energy, arousal, operation, diagnosis, upgrade and remote control maintenance, the management method of nodes in the sub-network coverage code is completed. Due to different standards and specifications of subnetwork codes, the diversity of protocols is also different.
protocol conversion level
Convert from different sensing networks to protocols connected to the Internet, and uniformly package information in the next layer of standard format to ensure that contracts of different types of sensing networks are converted into unified data and reports; analyze top-released data files as identification reports and control codes perception protocol.
Standardization of communications and data types
The home smart gateway must complete the conversion between the sensor network and the traditional network communication protocol, transmit the standard format information to the compatibility layer of the unified packaging protocol, decompress the data information released by the wide area access layer into standard format data information, and complete the command analysis. It is then converted into a sensing layer protocol to identify data signals and control codes.
What is a gateway? A gateway is a tool that connects one environment to another. It can be as small as the door of your home, the door of your room, the overpass on the road, the zebra crossing for pedestrians, as large as the gate of the airport, or the ports between countries. These are gateways. pass. As the name suggests, the industrial gateway is a communication gateway used in industrial sites, also known as network connectors, protocol converters, etc. It is mainly responsible for different protocols of field equipment (such as Siemens) PLC protocol, Mitsubishi PLC protocol, Omron PLC protocol, Schneider PLC protocol, MODBUS protocol, etc. ) is translated and converted into a language and protocol that our cloud platform can understand (Generally, cloud platforms use JSON and use the data format MQTTTCP or HTTP protocol to access, such as Alibaba Cloud, Baidu Cloud, etc.). The gateway implements network connections above the network layer. Gateways can be used for WAN connections or LAN connections.
Next, let’s talk about the special functions of Zongheng Intelligent Control’s EG8000 series industrial gateways.
No need to rely on the cloud, any logic can be customized
The device supports range conversion and customized condition judgment, and can realize any specified follow-up of multiple devices and multiple interfaces.
Support JS development applications
Adapt to fragmented IoT business scenarios
Customize IoT applications according to your own business, simple, flexible and efficient.
Say goodbye to cross-compiling and programming boards, and complete testing and one-click deployment directly on the web page.
Implement secondary development of gateway based on JavaScript language.
Zero code secondary development visual drag and drop programming
Provides a browser-based process editor with rich panel nodes, free construction of processes, and one-click deployment and operation.
Rich collection control ports, programmable interface.
Easily call various interfaces and resources of the system to create differentiated core competitiveness.
The above is an introduction to the functions of industrial gateways . I hope it will be helpful to everyone! If you are interested in Zongheng Intelligent Control’s EG8000 series, you can also consult our customer service through the official website.
