Industrial gateway
The English name of the industrial gateway can be called Gateway. In the Chinese meaning, it can also be called protocol converter and network connector.
It is mainly used as a network linker in industrial projects. Its function is to connect the upper and lower parts, configure the cloud platform on the upper side, and connect the industrial equipment on the lower side to realize the uploading and downloading of information. During the use process, the industrial gateway will be used in different places. It works in an environment of communication protocols, data formats and languages, and also plays an important role in transmission between products and cloud platforms. Therefore, we can simply understand it as an industrial gateway is an industrial communication translator.
How industrial gateways work
1. First, the industrial gateway will collect and integrate on-site data into the gateway.
2. Then the industrial gateway will organize and analyze the collected data and record it in the control panel
3. Finally, upload the collected data to the cloud platform regularly (you can also upload it after the cloud platform issues instructions)
Through the above three points, it can be concluded that the industrial gateway is mainly used for remote upgrade, remote control, real-time monitoring, remote communication, etc. of on-site industrial equipment.
The core role of industrial gateway
The core functions of industrial gateways can be mainly divided into four points: 1. Remote monitoring; 2. Remote programming and debugging; 3. Information collection and transmission; 4. Remote alarm
Remote monitoring: collect on-site equipment data through the industrial gateway to the cloud platform, and monitor the operating status of the on-site equipment through the cloud platform. Conduct real-time troubleshooting of faults to ensure stable operation of the equipment. Improve production system reliability.
Remote programming and debugging: Connecting the industrial gateway to the Internet of Things platform can realize remote device management, device status monitoring, remote programming control and debugging, etc.
Information collection and transmission: Industrial gateways can connect to industrial equipment and control systems at customer sites, collect data, and encrypt and upload it to the cloud platform to meet the needs of industrial users.
Remote alarm: Users can customize the conditions for alarm triggering, develop an alarm push mechanism, and push it to the corresponding personnel using web pages, APPs, on-site alarm lights, and text messages.
