ADLINK EMU-200 series IIoT gateway

ADLINK Technology Inc. has launched the EMU-200 series, an application-ready IIoT gateway that is designed to meet the data network requirements of various harsh application scenarios, including renewable energy, electric vehicle (EV) charging, building management and factory equipment monitoring.

To facilitate rapid deployment in diverse application environments, the IIoT gateway features a built-in smart software tool, the EGiFlow web console, which allows for seamless integration of multiple communication protocols. Paired with a range of connectivity options and adaptable hardware specifications, EGiFlow can cater to a variety of on-site configurations while reducing the efforts required by engineers on development and deployment.

Integrating EGiFlow with the EMU-200 series simplifies the data transfer process between different systems and provides preconfigured data flow settings, thereby expediting the set-up process for data collection, transferring and filtering from multiple sources.

To achieve broad connection coverage, the IIoT gateway integrates a variety of mainstream industrial communication protocols, such as Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT and OPC UA. Additionally, open charging point protocols (OCPP) for electric vehicle charging will soon be integrated. This comprehensive protocol support facilitates data transmission compatibility, while avoiding issues caused by a lack of supported protocols. Furthermore, the IIoT gateway supports a range of I/O interfaces, along with Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE connectivity. This enables connection to data acquisition devices such as remote IO and Ethernet DAQ systems, facilitating connectivity from the edge to cloud platforms.

The IIoT gateway uses an ARM Cortex-A9 processor, known for its suitability for operating under power supply restrictions. Its compact dimensions, coupled with multiple mounting options and an operating temperature range of -20 to 70°C, help provide adaptability in harsh environmental conditions.
