With the development of Internet of Things technology, IoT gateway devices, as the key foundation of industrial Internet of Things, have also been used on a larger scale.The equipment terminals of various industries will be interconnected to meet the requirements of intelligent, digital and information-based production, operation and management of enterprises.It provides a solid foundation for the development of industrial intelligence. So, do you know what IoT gateway devices are?
What are IoT gateway devices?
IoT gateway devices (Gateway), also known as gateway connectors and protocol converters, are network connectors commonly used in industrial projects.It plays the role of connecting the preceding and the following, configuring the cloud platform to the top, connecting the industrial equipment to the bottom, and realizing the upload and delivery of information.It is used between two systems or products with different communication protocols, data formats or languages, or between products and cloud platforms.Simply speaking, IoT gateway devices is an industrial communication translator.
How IoT gateway devices work
The gateway is responsible for integrating and collecting the field data, and then centralizing them into IoT gateway devices.IoT gateway devices collate and analyze these information and record it in the control board, so as to realize the remote control of industrial equipment.Remote upgrade, remote communication, real-time monitoring, etc.
IoT gateway devices core functionality
1. Information collection and transmission
IoT gateway devices complete data collection by connecting industrial equipment control systems.The parameter information of equipment operation will be read in real time, transmitted continuously and encrypted to meet the needs of industrial users.
2. Remote monitoring
It can remotely monitor, predict and evaluate the performance and operation status of equipment and products through various types of networks.Then the high quality operation of field equipment is realized, the average failure rate of equipment is greatly reduced, and the reliability of product system is improved.
3. Remote programming and debugging
By combining with the cloud platform of industrial Internet of Things, the management of remote equipment and the monitoring of equipment status can be realized.There are also remote programming control and debugging.
4. Remote alarm
Users can customize the conditions for triggering alarms, formulate the push mechanism for alarms, and use web pages and APPs.Methods such as field alarm lights and text messages are pushed to the corresponding personnel.
Features of IoT gateway devices
1. Multiple communication modes and efficient transmission
2, the acquisition port is rich, can realize the router function
3, industrial and design, convenient remote maintenance
4. Flexible cloud access and efficient forwarding center
5, support a variety of communication protocols, efficient and convenient
IoT gateway devices application scenario
Smart medicine
It provides safe and reliable medical data transmission for various medical diagnostic equipment, medical robots, telemedicine and so on.To achieve system interconnection and interoperability, to solve the difficulties and high costs of special line construction in remote areas such as grass-roots hospitals and islands.And the problems of unsafe WiFi data transmission and high delay of remote control in the hospital.
Smart Factory
IoT gateway devices collect various data of manufacturing equipment in real time and upload them to the cloud, supporting edge data processing, remote monitoring and early warning.
Driverless
Access to the sensor acquisition equipment throughout the car body and upload the data.Real-time and synchronous transmission of 360-degree road conditions and vehicle movement information.It realizes automatic driving, route planning, active lane change, parking space recognition, autonomous parking, remote judgment, processing and control of vehicles.
Business networking
It provides wireless and mobile networks for supermarkets, shopping malls, enterprises, schools and stations, and has the function of plug-in and ready-to-use.At the same time, it can be used as a wired network interface or converted into a Wi-Fi signal to quickly and conveniently realize fast Internet access.To meet the needs of short project deployment cycle and networking at any time.
