In today's wave of industrial intelligence, industrial communication gateways, as a key bridge connecting industrial equipment and upper-level systems, are playing an increasingly important role. Imagine a large factory with various production equipment in the workshop, from PLC control systems to various intelligent sensors, from complex CNC machine tools to precision instruments. They operate independently and generate massive amounts of data. How to efficiently collect, accurately transmit and reasonably utilize the data of these devices has become a key problem in realizing the intelligent upgrading of the factory.

In response to this, Wutong Bolian provides industrial-grade designed communication data acquisition gateways, which can realize the access and data acquisition of PLC, instruments, sensors, industrial robots, CNC machine tools and other equipment, and perform edge computing locally to realize functions such as intelligent acquisition and data filtering, thereby reducing the operating pressure of the server and improving the rate and stability of data communication. It can also be connected to MES or ERP systems to provide comprehensive and reliable data support for production management.

Functional characteristics

1. It supports direct connection through the PLC's own protocol without separate programming, and can also collect data from various instruments, sensors, CNC machine tools, industrial robots and other equipment.

2. It supports converting various PLCs such as Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Delta, Schneider into Modbus, MQTT, etc. to connect to Huawei Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, private cloud, and Wutong Bolian Cloud.

3. It supports remote configuration of gateway parameters and firmware upgrade, and can also realize wireless remote upload and download of PLC programs through the equipment maintenance express line, facilitating debugging and management of PLC.

4. It supports 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet and other methods to connect to cloud platforms or configuration upper computers, and realize functions such as local task management, threshold alarm, linkage control, operation and maintenance management, and data analysis.

5. It supports security protection functions such as data TLS security encryption, username/password and certificate authentication access, access control (ACL), and IPsec.

6. It supports customized development to meet the data acquisition of non-standard equipment and the private deployment of cloud platforms.
