Characteristics and Application of Edge Computing Gateway

Edge Computing Gateway belongs to the edge computing layer equipment, with "edge cloud, cloud gateway" as the main landing form, with "edge cloud collaboration, edge intelligence" as the core feature, and is the container of data aggregation, computing, and application integration.

Edge Computing Gateway has strong edge computing capabilities, shares computing resources deployed in the cloud, and realizes data optimization, real-time response, agile connection, model analysis, and other services at the edge nodes of the Internet of Things, making the digital Internet of Things in the AI era a step further.

Edge Computing Gateway Features

(1) Strong edge computing capability

How to transmit data to the cloud or remote terminal with low cost and high efficiency is of great significance. The Internet of Things gateway with super edge computing capability can be processed nearby through the decentralization of data processing authority. There is no need to worry about the problem that the remote communication transmission is not smooth, and it has great functional advantages related to the common Internet of Things gateway.

(2) Rich interfaces, standard and easy to use

Multi-channel 2485 serial port access design; At the same time, it supports the simultaneous access of a 2-channel DI digital input interface, 2-channel relay control interface, 16-channel Ethernet interface, and the access of various intelligent devices.

(3) Diversified network access

Support Ethernet and 3G/4G network access; Wired and wireless dual-link backup and other functions; And switch between different links is realized; Built-in multi-level link detection and recovery mechanism ensures uninterrupted network connection of equipment.

(4) Industrial quality, resistant to the harsh environment

Industrial metal shell, high EMC electromagnetic compatibility, high and low-temperature resistance (-35℃ to 75℃), wide voltage (5V-35V); Super moisture-proof, lightning protection and anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities ensure the stable operation of the equipment in harsh environments, and the guide rail type installation is convenient to use.

(5) Remote management to improve efficiency

Remote monitoring, configuration, and upgrading of equipment to realize programming, diagnosis, and debugging of field equipment and improve service response speed; Fault alarm, improve the online rate of equipment in remote areas; The intelligent gateway is used together with the cloud management system to greatly improve the management efficiency.

Edge Computing Gateway Application

It is widely used in the self-service terminal industry, smart grid, intelligent transportation, supply chain automation, industrial automation, intelligent building, fire protection, environmental protection, intelligent medical treatment, intelligent lighting, intelligent agriculture, coal mine, petroleum, and other scenarios.

In the power field, compared with common LAN communication gateways, Edge Computing Gateway has two main differences: Edge Computing Gateway involves public network application scenarios, and needs to fully consider the economy, reliability, security, and other issues faced by public network communication; In addition to the basic functions of data communication, Edge Computing Gateway has data processing functions. It can flexibly implement edge computing supporting cloud services on the device side according to the needs of the solution.

Functional design Internet of Things communication and edge computing are the two major business functions of the gateway. The former needs to solve the problems of economy, reliability, and security faced by data transmission in the public network environment, while the latter needs to provide a method for edge computing to reach an agreement with the cloud in terms of computing rules and semantic output.
