Industrial gateway is a kind of industrial equipment that is very common in industrial environments. This equipment also has other names: industrial data collection gateway, industrial Internet of Things gateway, edge computing gateway, etc.
Although there are many names, the purpose of this device can indeed be summarized in one sentence, that is, it processes, collects, calculates, and transmits sensor data. It can transmit the collected data to the cloud through the 4G/5G network. The cloud can also control and monitor industrial field equipment.
I believe everyone also wants to know what functions and functions of industrial gateways . Let’s take a look at what functions industrial gateways have .
Realize industrial field equipment manufacturing, remote programming, debugging, and remote upload and download of industrial field equipment
Support multiple network ports, serial port connection: Support 5G/4G/Wi-Fi network/Ethernet and other networking methods to enable various industrial equipment to access the cloud platform, such as PLC, instrumentation, CNC machine tools, robotic arms, industrial robots, etc.
Supports remote mapping of industrial field configuration diagrams to WINCC, remote configuration and remote monitoring of configuration software such as KingView and ForceControl;
It has strong edge computing capabilities, such as edge processing, filtering, and alarming, which effectively reduces the pressure on the server side.
Embed various industrial control protocols, such as various industrial control protocols, PLC, instrumentation, power equipment, industrial robots, machine tools and other protocols, to realize the interconnection and data collection of different equipment. Supports mainstream protocol hardware analysis, such as Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Panasonic, Schneider, TEDA, Yonghong, Yaskawa, Inovance, Xinjie, etc.
Extremely high security: adopts remote secure communication methods and combines encryption algorithms to ensure communication security and prevent data leakage;
It has strong edge computing capabilities, such as edge processing, filtering, and alarming, which effectively reduces the pressure on the server side.
Strong stability: supports disconnection reconnection, abnormal recovery, and system self-monitoring to ensure that the equipment is online in real time and the monitoring system operates normally;
The above is an explanation of the functions and functions of industrial gateways .
The gateway is responsible for integrating and collecting field data and centralizing it on the industrial gateway. The industrial gateway organizes and analyzes this information on the control panel and records it to achieve remote control, remote upgrade, remote communication, real-time monitoring, etc. of industrial equipment.
Industrial gateways are like the nerves of our human body. It transmits the information we perceive (such as vision, touch, etc.) to our brain through nerves for treatment. According to different application environments, the brain determines what kind of response should be made through calculation, and transmits it to the whole body and limbs for action through nerves; in other words, without an industrial gateway, it is like the nerves in our body are cut off, and we cannot Perceiving the conditions of the external environment also has no control over our behavior, just like a vegetative person or a person with uncoordinated limbs.
