Node-Red Gateway Series

The EG8000 gateway series is equipped with node-red system, which can achieve 0 code, visualisation and drag-and-drop programming. It allows you to easily connect hardware devices such as plc, industrial control machine, etc., while supporting various communication transmission protocols. It allows you to send the data to the cloud server in a specified format after the gateway has processed it, thus reducing the server load, and even allows you to use the LAN to continue sending commands to plc and other logic control units in the event of a disconnection.

Node-RED Systems in EG8000 Gateway Series : Applications and Benefits

Introduction

Node-RED, a flow-based programming tool, has emerged as a game-changer in the realm of edge computing. Its application in edge gateways has unlocked numerous benefits, enhancing efficiency, flexibility, and scalability in various sectors.

Node-RED: A Brief Overview

Node-RED is an open-source programming tool developed by IBM for wiring together hardware devices, APIs, and online services. It provides a browser-based flow editor for creating JavaScript functions, making it a powerful tool for rapidly developing applications.

Application of Node-RED in EG8000 Gateway Series

Edge gateways, which serve as a bridge between local devices and cloud servers, have found a valuable ally in Node-RED. Here’s how:

  1. IoT Integration: Node-RED’s ability to integrate various IoT devices and services makes it ideal for edge gateways. It can collect data from sensors, process it locally, and send it to the cloud when necessary.

  2. Data Processing: With Node-RED, edge gateways can process data locally, reducing latency and bandwidth usage. This is particularly beneficial in real-time applications where quick data processing is crucial.

  3. Prototyping: Node-RED allows developers to quickly prototype ideas and solutions. This accelerates the development process, enabling faster deployment of applications on edge gateways.node-red gateway

Feature Benefits of Node-RED in EG8000 Gateway Series

Node-RED’s features offer several benefits when applied to edge gateways:

  1. User-Friendly Interface: Node-RED’s intuitive, drag-and-drop interface simplifies the development process. Even those with limited programming knowledge can create complex applications.

  2. Modularity: Node-RED’s modular nature allows developers to reuse code, enhancing productivity and reducing development time.

  3. Extensibility: With its vast library of pre-built nodes, Node-RED can be easily extended to support new devices or platforms.

  4. Real-Time Visualization: Node-RED provides real-time data visualization tools, aiding in monitoring and debugging during application development.
