Edge computing gateway is an intelligent device that can run local computing, data caching, message communication and other functions on the device. It also has a name, also called IoT edge computing gateway. And it also has a feature, which is to realize local linkage of devices and data processing and analysis without the need for Internet connection.
What is an edge computing gateway? Let’s briefly introduce it here! Below we focus on introducing the characteristics of edge computing gateways.
Edge computing gateway features
Let’s first talk about the characteristics that edge computing gateways on the market have, which are also their most basic functions.
1. More energy saving
Compared with traditional DTU and RTU, edge computing gateways can achieve functions they cannot achieve, which is to perform data analysis and calculation locally. Through local calculation, it greatly saves the computing pressure of cloud servers.
2. Distributed and low-latency computing
For the analysis of short-cycle data, edge computing focuses on real-time and can better support the real-time intelligent processing and execution of local services.
3. Relieve flow pressure
During cloud transmission, some simple data processing is performed through edge nodes, thereby improving device response time and reducing data traffic from the device to the cloud.
4. Other features
The edge computing gateway can help users quickly access high-speed Internet, achieve safe and reliable data transmission, and enable programming, diagnosis, and debugging of on-site PLC equipment to improve service response speed. Using Arm architecture high-end processor. The standard Linux system supports secondary development by users.
After introducing the common edge computing gateways on the market, let’s take a look at the EG8000 series of edge computing gateways developed by Zongheng Intelligent Control.
The EG8000 series of products is an edge computing gateway launched by Zongheng Intelligent Control. With its rich hardware interfaces, drag-and-drop programming method, “zero code” design concept, convenient remote management and other features, it can be fast, flexible, accurate and efficient. to respond to various IoT industry needs.
EG8000 abstracts complex hardware interfaces, different industrial network protocols, etc. into “nodes” one by one. Users can flexibly use these “nodes” to replace the traditional complex and inefficient coding process by dragging and connecting. It truly allows customers to focus on business logic and quickly create their own gateway equipment. EG8000’s mission is to continuously develop new “nodes” to serve industry customers to adapt to the fragmentation of IoT industry needs.
Below, let’s make a simple comparison
Edge Computing Gateway Remote PLC
This common function is currently only supported by a few manufacturers’ edge computing gateways on the market. Through the EG8000 remote PLC, the maintenance efficiency of managers can be greatly improved.
How is it achieved?
The principle is actually very simple. Through the open VPN function of the gateway, a virtual IP is used to remotely communicate with the PLC through the PLC programming software, so as to achieve the purpose of remotely uploading and downloading PLC programs. The operation is simple.
