Welcome to the “EG Series Edge Computing Gateway Product Usage” Documentation Center!
Have you encountered some challenges in the development of IoT applications? Are you overwhelmed by the complexity and variety of protocols, sensors, and PLCs of different brands? Now, all these challenges are solved by EG series products, and you just need to focus on your business applications!
The EG series is a star product series of IOTRouter – Edge Computing Gateway, which is loved by IoT application users all over the world. EG Edge Computing Gateway is characterized by rich hardware interfaces, drag-and-drop programming, a zero-code design concept, and convenient remote management. It can quickly, flexibly, accurately, and efficiently respond to the needs of various IoT industries.
EG series products abstract complex hardware interfaces and different industrial network protocols into a single node. Users can flexibly use these nodes to drag, connect the way, instead of the traditional complex and inefficient coding process. It really allows customers to focus on business logic and quickly build their own gateway devices.
The mission of EG series products is to continuously develop new nodes to serve the industry customers, in order to adapt to the fragmentation of IoT industry needs. The newly upgraded EG series products will bring unlimited possibilities for your IoT applications, and will carry on your IoT applications!
As we all know, the network architecture of IoT can be divided into 4 layers including: cloud platform layer, network layer, edge computing layer and sensing layer. The EG gateway is an important device in the edge computing layer. Upwards, EG gateway can cope with different applications of different cloud platforms. Downward, EG gateway can be compatible with different sensors and protocols of different applications in the sensing layer.
The EG edge gateway has many features, including but not limited to:
1. Support Node-RED zero-code programming
The logic and business commonly used in IoT can be realized in the form of drag-and-drop building blocks, saying goodbye to the traditional cumbersome cross-compilation, burn-in mode. Even if you are not satisfied, you can use the js language to secondary development, is also free of compilation directly run, the efficiency will be greatly improved.
2. Disconnectable
When the network is unstable or even interrupted, EG Edge Computing Gateway is able to cache the local data and upload it immediately after the network is restored, which ensures the continuity and stability of the production process.
3. Rich interfaces and protocols
Supports 4G/Ethernet/WIFI triple-network communication, and has rich interfaces such as RS485/RS232/DI/DO/CAN and etc.. Support docking a variety of mainstream PLC brands, a variety of Internet of Things protocols, industrial protocols, support for data format customization, logic customization, private protocols niche protocols are perfectly compatible.
4. Support remote operation
Supports remote configuration, remote debugging, remote diagnostics, remote update program and other functions.
5. All independent research and development design, products through the quality certification
Products all independent research and development, quality and supply assurance, products through the quality management system certification, the European Union CE certification, high and low temperature testing certification and other certifications, to provide professional technical support.
Give EG series products a chance, it may be able to solve many of the data collection problems you encounter in the Internet of Things applications!
Now on to our newbie tutorial!
All gateways of the EG series are highly consistent in their usage. The difference between different models is mainly reflected in the hardware interface, and the corresponding difference is only the presence or absence of certain nodes. Therefore, this series of documents applies to all models of the EG series, unless otherwise stated.
Important Note
EG series gateway, the hardware operating system is Ubuntu, and the software is mainly 3 web services. Take the gateway IP as 192.168.88.1 as an example, the relationship is as follows:
a. Browser input: http://192.168.88.1:80 to access the device management page, which is mainly used for querying the device’s operation status, networking configuration, firewall settings, firmware upgrades and other functions.
For detailed documentation, please refer to the corresponding model’s Quick Start Instructions.pdf: Descargar
b. Browser input: http://192.168.88.1:1880 to access the Drag & Drop Programming page, which is also the main function implementation interface of the gateway, used to realize PLC data acquisition, CNC data acquisition, various sensor data acquisition, logic processing, conditional triggering, data format conversion, docking platform and other functions. Conversion, data formatting, and platform interfacing.
For detailed documentation, please continue to browse down, this knowledge base focuses on the use of visual programming.
c. Browser input: http://192.168.88.1:1881 to access the local configuration page, currently only EG8200Pro and EV8010 support local configuration function.
It is used to realize data presentation, large screen display, report generation and other functions.
Please ask your salesperson for a demo account!
