IEG-3000 is an industrial gateway that connects different generation devices to an Ethernet network. The two-port 10/100 RJ45 uplink connects to the control centre or to other gateways to make ring connectivity. Using Modbus RTU to TCP, the most common Ethernet communication packets, different generation Ethernet machines can connect to this device through the serial ports, 2 x RS-232/422/485 serial ports, reducing the need to replace old expensive and valuable machinery. Sensors can have back and forth transmission with the gateway through its two analogue and two digital inputs.
Designed with MQTT protocols, the device delivers encrypted packets between client and server through 4G LTE bandwidth at long distances. The device offers a dual sim-card redundancy system to keep the LTE communication always active. The device can also transmit data through Wi-Fi at maximum lengths between 50 and 100 metres, depending on the setting.
This gateway is built with industrial-grade components and enclosed in an IP30 case with high thermal conductivity, which protects the device from tools and hazards. Designed to withstand vibration, shock, free fall, interference, and temperatures ranging from -40 to 75°C, it suits extreme industrial environments. To ensure reliability, the redundant power supply and alarm relay contact on the terminal block ensure non-stop operation and issue alerts if power fails. The reset button restores the device to default factory settings if an issue arises after configuration.
