What is an industrial smart gateway?

Industrial intelligent gateway is the core component device of the Internet of Things and industrial control system. The gateway plays the role of the upper and lower. The top is the upper computer, computer/touch screen monitoring system, MES, and so on; the bottom is the lower computer, including PLC, sensors, embedded chips and so on. For example, AR7091 belongs to industrial intelligent gateway, its basic function is "translation function" will be different protocols of the lower computer product feedback to the upper computer, data transmission, encrypted transmissions, and so on. The industrial gateway mainly has the following three common roles:

One, the industrial intelligent gateway can complete the real-time data collection.

Industrial intelligent gateway connects the equipment plc, real-time collection of industrial equipment running parameter information, can realize the real-time data collection of equipment, disconnect and continue to transmit and other functions. Professional industrial gateway can collect data under encrypted condition and realize remote data collection and transmission.

Two, the industrial intelligent gateway can realize the remote monitoring and management of equipment through the cloud platform.

The data collected by the industrial intelligent gateway is transmitted to the cloud platform, and once a fault occurs during the operation of the equipment, the IoT cloud platform pushes alarm information to the equipment manager. The equipment manager logs into the cloud platform to view the fault, and realizes remote monitoring and debugging of the equipment through the industrial gateway.

Three, the industrial intelligent gateway can realize the protocol conversion local interconnection.

Industrial intelligent gateway can realize a variety of protocols into a standard protocol such as ModbusTCP, OPCUA and other common protocols, to realize the local different devices to communicate with each other.

The above are the three main uses of the industrial smart gateway, in fact, the industrial smart gateway AR7091 can also realize video surveillance, edge computing, inspection punch card and other functions.
