Product Features

The EM Series Edge Controller is a new-generation scalable edge computing gateway from IOTRouter, combining industrial data acquisition and real-time control into a single platform. Based on a distributed I/O architecture, it enables plug-and-play hardware expansion, millisecond-level control, full industrial protocol compatibility, and low-code development for end-to-end field data acquisition, control, and cloud connectivity.

FAQs

Q1. Is EM300 a Siemens PLC?

A1: EM300 is not a Siemens PLC. They are designed for different roles. A Siemens PLC is mainly used for real-time machine and process control, while EM300 is an Industrial Edge Controller designed for industrial connectivity, protocol conversion, edge computing, data processing and remote communication. EM300 can connect to Siemens PLCs as well as Mitsubishi, Omron, Allen-Bradley and other industrial devices, and transfer their data to SCADA, MES, cloud or IoT platforms through protocols such as Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, HTTP and BACnet. In many projects, the two devices can work together: Siemens PLC → machine control EM300 → data acquisition + protocol conversion + edge processing + remote connectivity So, rather than being a direct Siemens PLC replacement, EM300 is often used as the edge connectivity and data integration layer around existing PLC systems.

Q2. Does the D0016P module support local hardware pulse/timer output (e.g. sending a command to trigger a 150ms single pulse directly on the module), or must each ON and OFF command be sent separately across the 50ms bus?

A2: At present, the control is to issue separate instructions to control the on and off.

Q3. For the 16DO module (D0016P), can you confirm the output is Solid-State Transistor/MOSFET (PNP 24VDC, 0.5A/ch) and NOT mechanical relay? (We strictly need it for 150ms high-speed pulse dosing valves).

A3: D0016P is a P-channel MOSFET. D0016N is an N-channel MOSFET. D0008R is a relay contact.

Q4. Which operating system and kernel version does the EM300 use?

A4: Buildroot 2024.02，Linux 6.1.99-rt36.

Q5. What is the expected product lifecycle and security-update support period?

A5: 5 years lifecycle.
