PLANET ICG-2510W-LTE is a reliable, secure and high-bandwidth industrial-grade cellular gateway for demanding mobile communications applications, machine-to-machine (M2M), and IoT deployments. It features 4G LTE, 2.4G/5G Wi-Fi, five Ethernet ports (four LAN and one WAN), a serial console port, DI and DO interfaces, and VPN technology. These are all bundled in a compact yet rugged metal case. It establishes a fast cellular connection between Ethernet and serial port equipped devices.
The ICG-2510W-LTE supports LTE 2x1 DL MIMO technology, which can reach a download (DL) speed of up to 150 Mbps and an upload (UL) speed of 50 Mbps. The cellular gateway also supports multi-band connectivity, including LTE FDD/TDD, WCDMA and GSM, for a wide range of applications.
To enhance reliability, the ICG-2510W-LTE is equipped with dual SIM slots that support failover and roaming over to ensure uninterrupted connectivity for mission-critical cellular communications. The ICG-2510W-LTE also supports load balance function to improve network efficiency. It provides a more flexible and easy way for users in public places to create an instant network sharing service via 4G LTE. The ICG-2510W-LTE industrial-grade cellular gateway now has ICASA certification and is legal to operate in South Africa.
Introduction to Part 2 loop signatures and process transfer functions
Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
The previous series of loop signature articles dealt with the basics of control loop optimisation, and concentrated on troubleshooting and ‘SWAG’ tuning of simple processes. In this new series, consideration will be given to dealing practically with more difficult issues like interactive processes, and with processes with much more complex dynamics.
