Which Devices Can Be Connected via Serial-to-Ethernet Gateways?

The diversity of industrial equipment leads to a variety of interface protocols. If these protocols cannot be adapted, data collection from devices becomes impossible, and remote monitoring and control cannot be achieved.

For example, many traditional industrial devices still communicate via serial ports (e.g., RS232, RS485), while modern network environments primarily rely on Ethernet (TCP/IP). How to achieve seamless integration between serial devices and networks has become an urgent issue in industrial scenarios. Therefore, WideIOT offers cost-effective, high-performance protocol conversion gateways, providing efficient and reliable data acquisition solutions tailored to diverse industry needs.

Application Scenarios
▷Smart Buildings: Remote meter reading for electricity, heat, water, and gas meters.
▷New Energy: Monitoring of photovoltaic systems, charging stations, battery swap stations, and Battery Management Systems (BMS).
▷Industrial Automation: Data acquisition from PLCs, sensors, and inverters.
▷Universal Applications: Environmental monitoring, power and environment monitoring, intelligent transportation, and more.

※Product Recommendations:
WG583-Industrial Smart Gateway (data collection, 3 x 100Mbps Ethernet ports, 2 x serial ports)
WR713-Industrial Router (device networking, 3 x Gigabit Ethernet ports, 2 x serial ports)
WD240-Industrial Data Terminal (1 x 232/485 serial port, multiple IOs including 8AI-4DI-4DO)

What is an Industrial Gateway?

  In the era of Industry 4.0, where smart factories and interconnected systems dominate,   industrial gateways   have emerged as critical components for enabling seamless communication, data exchange, and automation across diverse industrial environments. But what exactly is an industrial gateway, and why is it indispensable in modern manufacturing and process control? This article explores its definition, functions, types, and real-world applications. Definition of an Industrial Gateway An   industrial gateway   is a specialized hardware or software device designed to bridge communication gaps between incompatible industrial networks, protocols, or devices. It acts as a translator and router, ensuring that data from legacy machinery, sensors, controllers, or cloud platforms can be understood and utilized by other systems. Unlike standard networking gateways, industrial gateways are built to withstand harsh environments (e.g., extreme temperatures, v...

IoT Solution for DCS Data Acquisition of Stackers and Reclaimers

图片
  In thermal power plants, stackers and reclaimers play a crucial role in storing and conveying raw materials. They execute various automated instructions through PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and DCS (Distributed Control Systems), such as allowing stacking, allowing reclaiming, peripheral reclaiming operation, emergency shutdown of stackers and reclaimers, stacking operation, stacking faults, reclaiming faults, reclaiming circuit, and more. These instructions provide reliable assistance for enhancing production efficiency and management levels. To achieve DCS data acquisition and enable remote monitoring and precise management of stacking and reclaiming operations, WideIOT offers an IoT solution based on industrial smart gateways. By connecting to the central control room’s DCS, the gateway can adapt to protocols and perform data acquisition. The collected data is then transmitted to a remote monitoring cloud platform, enabling functions such as visual display, remote moni...

IoT Solution for Digital Transformation in Discrete Manufacturing Industry

图片
  For enterprises aiming to achieve smart manufacturing and digital transformation, the most challenging and core aspect lies in digitizing the production process.  This is particularly true in the discrete manufacturing sector, where products are often assembled from multiple components through a series of discontinuous processes. The production process involves numerous variables and uncertainties, all of which need to be captured and monitored. Taking the automotive manufacturing industry as an example, the production process includes stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly.  The equipment involved ranges from stamping machines, welding robots, painting robots, drying ovens, and assembly robots to ancillary PLCs, sensors, and instrumentation. Data such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, voltage, and current are crucial determinants of a vehicle's quality. In response, WideIOT provides data acquisition gateways that connect to PLCs, instrumenta...
