Industrial IoT Smart Gateway Application Field

Smart gateway, also called industrial IoT smart gateway, wireless data collection gateway, communication collection gateway, wireless gateway, industrial communication gateway, wireless sensor management host, industrial Ethernet serial port smart gateway, RS485 serial port Modbus RTU smart gateway, belongs to wireless sensor Internet product.

　　 1. The importance of IoT gateways 

　　 IoT gateway, as a new term, will play a very important role in the future IoT era. It will become the link between the perception network and the traditional communication network. As a gateway device, the IoT gateway can realize protocol conversion between perception networks and communication networks, as well as different types of perception networks. It can realize wide-area interconnection and local-area interconnection.

　　 In addition, the IoT gateway also needs to have device management functions. Through the IoT gateway device, operators can manage the underlying sensing nodes, understand the relevant information of each node, and realize remote control.

　　 2. Functions of IoT Gateway

　　 1. Extensive access capabilities

 　　 There are many technical standards for short-range communication. The only common WSNs technologies include Lonworks, ZigBee, 6LowPAN, RUBEE, etc. Various technologies are mainly developed for a certain application, and there is a lack of compatibility and system planning between them. At present, domestic and foreign standards for IoT gateways have been carried out, such as the 3GPP and the sensor working group, to realize the interconnection and intercommunication of various communication technology standards.

　　2, manageability

　　Strong management capabilities are essential for any large-scale network. The gateway must be managed first, such as registration management, authority management, status supervision, etc. The gateway realizes the management of the nodes in the subnet, such as obtaining the identity, status, attributes, energy, etc. of the nodes, and realizes remote wake-up, control, diagnosis, upgrade and maintenance, etc. Due to the different technical standards of the subnets and the different complexity of the protocols, the management capabilities of the gateways are different. It is proposed to manage different perception networks and different applications based on a modular IoT gateway method to ensure that a unified management interface technology can be used for unified management of peripheral network nodes.

　　3. Protocol conversion capability

Protocol conversion from different perception networks to access networks, unified encapsulation of the data in the standard format of the lower layer, to ensure that the protocols of different perception networks can become unified data and signaling; the data packets sent by the upper layer are parsed into perception The signaling and control commands that can be identified by the layer protocol.

　　 It is learned that the IoT gateway, as a new term, will play a very important role in the future IoT era. It will become the link between the perception network and the traditional communication network, and the application scenarios will be more colorful.
