What Devices Can RS485 Industrial Smart Gateways Collect Data From? What Are Their Functions and Features?

RS485 serial ports are common interfaces in industrial equipment, enabling interaction between the device itself and external devices.

 As long as the communication protocol issues are resolved, data within the device can be collected and uploaded to various intelligent application platforms for greater utilization.

Wutongbolian's RS485 industrial smart gateways are equipped with multiple serial and network ports, capable of collecting data from PLCs, instrumentation, sensors, CNC machine tools, industrial robots, and other devices.

 After configuring gateway and network parameters, the gateway automatically establishes data communication with the devices, encapsulates the data uniformly in JSON format, and uploads it to the cloud platform or upper computer at a set periodic frequency or upon data changes, enabling rapid data collection and real-time communication for Ethernet/RS232/RS485/IO devices.

Basic Functions

1. Data Collection: Collects output data or switch signals from sensors, metering instruments, PLCs, etc.
2. Status Monitoring: Monitors the power supply status, start/stop status, fault status, and operational conditions of various devices.
3. Image Surveillance: Captures photos using on-site cameras on a timed basis or according to instructions.
4. Remote Communication: Enables real-time communication with application platforms via 5G, 4G, WIFI, Ethernet, and other networks.
5. Device Control: Remotely controls device start-up and shutdown; remotely sets device operating modes.
6. Abnormal Alarms: Automatically sends alarms via WeChat, SMS, or email in case of data/status abnormalities or device faults.
