Programmable 4G LTE IoT Edge Computing Gateway with Node-RED Running on Raspberry Pi for Smart Factory

Parameters of Edge Computing Gateway

• Introduction​ of Edge Computing Gateway

Edge8000 series products are edge computing gateways launched by IOTRouter Chengdu. With its rich hardware interfaces, drag-and-drop programming method, Zero Code design concept, convenient remote management and other characteristics, It can quickly, flexibly, accurately and efficiently respond to various IoT industry needs. Edge8000 abstracts complex hardware interfaces, different industrial network protocols, etc. into Nodesone by one. Users can use these Nodes flexibly to replace the traditional complex and inefficient coding process by dragging and connecting. Really let customers focus on business logic and quickly create their own gateway equipment. The mission of Edge8000 is to continuously develop new Nodes to serve industry customers to adapt to the fragmentation of IoT industry needs.

Node-RED features in its drag-and-drop programming functionality.

Using the browser-based programming tool, users can adopt themselves in any environment.

There are various ways to implement an IoT gateway. For example, it is easy to build an IoT gateway yourself using the open source software Node-RED and a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi provides the necessary computer and Node-RED software interface to address or read the protocols of field sensors and actuators and establish communication.

The EG8000 requires no programming knowledge for data acquisition, local processing and cloud integration. With Node-RED, the connection between old and new industrial technologies in IoT (Internet of Things) can be easily established. It provides a browser-based stream editor to easily connect streams using the various network nodes available in the palette. A node always has at least one input or output. Messages are then sent between nodes, which can be processed or manipulated in a number of ways. For example, the measurement data of a simple temperature sensor can be formatted into the desired data format and then transmitted to the cloud architecture via MQTT.
