Functions of Industrial Data Acquisition Gateway

In the field of intelligent manufacturing, the continuous increase in the number and types of equipment has brought about an increasingly large volume of data and processing pressure. How to efficiently collect, transmit, and manage data has become an important issue. As the core component of industrial IoT systems, the industrial data acquisition gateway plays an increasingly crucial role in the communication between industrial equipment and information systems.

The WideIOT Industrial Data Acquisition Gateway is an industrial-grade IoT device that features multiple serial and network ports for connecting with industrial equipment. It collects equipment operation data and process data into upper computers or cloud platforms, boasting high integration, scalability, and stability. It can be customized according to actual needs.

1. Device Access
   Device access is the starting point for connecting the physical world with the digital world. The WideIOT Industrial Intelligent Gateway supports the connection of PLCs, instruments, industrial robots, CNC machine tools, sensors, and other devices, collecting important data such as digital, analog, and switch quantities.

2. Protocol Conversion
   Industrial communication network protocols are diverse and incompatible with each other. The WideIOT Industrial Data Acquisition Gateway can perform various protocol conversions, enabling serial-to-Ethernet, PLC-to-Modbus, and the conversion of various fieldbus protocols into IoT protocols (MQTT).

3. Network Transmission
   The WideIOT Industrial Data Acquisition Gateway supports multiple internet access methods, including 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet, enabling real-time communication between industrial equipment data and management systems. It offers higher stability and security, featuring functions such as multi-network backup and discontinuous point resumption.

4. Edge Computing
   Based on edge computing algorithms, data cleaning, filtering, and computation are performed at the network edge near the equipment or data source. This reduces the computational pressure on cloud servers and improves bandwidth efficiency.

5. Network Security
   Built-in firewall functionality provides comprehensive network blocking and protection. It continuously monitors various functional modules, anticipates and handles potential errors, and enables self-healing.
