Multiple Industry Protocols

– Flexible Protocol Integration –

The EG8200 industrial edge gateway acts as a flexible bridge for different industrial systems. It supports common industrial and IoT protocols such as Modbus, MQTT, OPC UA/DA, HJ212, and IEC104, enabling easy integration with third-party platforms.
For non-standard or proprietary protocols, EG8200 allows custom data parsing and logic configuration through JavaScript (JS), providing adaptable protocol handling for complex field applications.

Gestione remota

The EG8200 remote management software enables remote configuration and debugging of on-site equipment. It supports remote diagnostics and remote firmware updates, helping reduce maintenance effort and on-site service costs.

Remote Virtual LAN/ Serial Port

– PLC Remote Upload & Download –

With virtual Ethernet and virtual serial ports, engineers can remotely access on-site PLCs and field devices for PLC and HMI programming, basic server maintenance, and serial device debugging, as if they were in the same local network.
This helps improve maintenance efficiency and reduce on-site service costs.

Drag & Drop Programming

– Low-code visual programming – 

Based on Node-RED visual programming and built-in industrial nodes, the EG8200 supports quick integration with sensors and third-party platforms through standard protocols such as MQTT and JSON.
This low-code approach simplifies logic development and reduces deployment time, making it easier to build customized data acquisition and protocol integration solutions for different industrial scenarios.

The Industrial Edge Gateway Use Cases

1. Factory Data Gateway

As a central data gateway on the factory floor, the EG8200 connects to multiple PLC brands and industrial devices simultaneously.
With local data processing and protocol conversion, it delivers standardized data to MES, SCADA, or cloud platforms.

With interfaces such as RS485, CAN, DI/DO, and USB, the gateway can integrate multiple industrial subsystems into a single edge node.

Typical applications: automotive production lines, injection molding machines, general manufacturing equipment, and energy monitoring systems.
