Industrial Wireless Solutions The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is more complex and costly compared to other IoT scenarios. Industrial IoT solutions need to integrate and support various protocols and data sets, working securely, reliably, and stably with these manufacturing systems. This also means that the implementation of industrial IoT faces numerous challenges: including high … Read more
In industrial production environments, it is often necessary to collect operational parameters of devices, such as power, temperature, pressure, and flow, through various sensors. The signal outputs collected are generally 4-20mA/0-10V 485 signals, which cannot be directly read by software platforms. Therefore, they need to be converted into TCP/IP signals. Devices that can achieve this … Read more
ANet Smart IoT Gateway The ANet Smart Communication Management Series is an embedded hardware computer platform that features multiple downstream communication interfaces and one or more upstream network interfaces. It serves as a bridge between the data collection terminals and the platform system in information collection systems, capable of aggregating data from devices such as … Read more
Hello everyone, today we are going to discuss a topic that is both frustrating and rewarding in the industrial field—how to make the “old gentleman” Modbus and the “modern youth” TCP/IP shake hands and make peace. Last year, while debugging a sewage treatment plant project, I encountered a “generation gap” issue between these two protocols, … Read more
The IoT gateway, also known as the Internet of Things gateway, is a network device responsible for connecting and controlling various devices within an IoT system, linking them to the cloud, local servers, or other devices. It can facilitate both wide-area and local interconnections, enabling interoperability and data exchange between different types of sensing networks … Read more
PLC Protocol Conversion: Designing Protocol Gateways to Break Down Barriers Between Different Standards! Introduction **Hello everyone!** Today we are going to explore a magical technology that allows industrial automation systems to “speak the same language” — PLC Protocol Conversion Gateways. Imagine, in your factory, there are PLC devices from different brands like Siemens, Mitsubishi, and … Read more
Introduction Hello everyone! Today, I want to discuss a topic that excites and troubles many factory automation engineers — PLC multi-protocol compatibility technology.Don’t worry, I will explain this seemingly complex function in the simplest terms.Trust me, once you master this technology, your new and old devices can coexist harmoniously like “three generations of old, middle-aged, … Read more
Follow us for free updates on avionics news. Abstract The Remote Data Interface Unit (RDIU) is responsible for protocol conversion in aircraft, connecting various subsystems such as remote sensors and actuators to the aircraft’s backbone network, forming a mixed onboard network configuration. Existing RDIU protocol conversion technologies face issues such as incomplete participation of protocols, … Read more
Introduction IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) refers to the integration of various sensing and monitoring devices, controllers, mobile communications, intelligent analysis, and other technologies into all stages of industrial production. This significantly enhances manufacturing efficiency, improves product quality, reduces product costs and resource consumption, ultimately elevating traditional industries to a new stage of intelligence. The … Read more
