EG8200 Industrial Edge Gateway for Data Acquisition and Protocol Conversion

Description

EG8200 is an industrial edge gateway built for multi-protocol data collection and intelligent protocol conversion at the industrial edge.

Unlike traditional gateways limited to fixed protocols, it supports customizable data processing and logic, allowing seamless integration with mainstream PLCs, CNCs, and private or niche protocols. It also supports the IEC 104 protocol, which enables direct integration with power and SCADA systems.

With triple-network connectivity (4G, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi6) and rich industrial interfaces, EG8200 provides a stable and adaptable bridge between field devices and IoT platforms.

Flexible IEC104 Integration

EG8200 supports both IEC104 Server (Slave) and Client (Master) modes. It can convert data from PLCs, CNCs, meters, Modbus, and other field devices to IEC104 for SCADA integration, or collect data from IEC104 devices and forward it via MQTT, TCP, HTTP, Modbus, and other protocols.

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, and HJ212, 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.

Remote Management

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 improves maintenance efficiency and reduces 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, EG8200 connects PLCs, CNC machines, meters, and industrial devices from different brands through built-in industrial interfaces and protocols.
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.
