ACREL Smart IoT Gateway 4G with 4 x RS485 and 2 x Ethernet
ACREL Smart IoT Gateway 4G with 4 x RS485 and 2 x Ethernet is a modular smart IoT gateway designed to collect data from meters, protection equipment and other field devices, then transmit the information through Ethernet or 4G networks. The main module provides four RS485 communication interfaces, two Ethernet interfaces and eight passive dry contact inputs. It supports multiple communication protocols and data forwarding formats, making it suitable for energy monitoring, equipment data collection and remote communication applications. The modular design also allows additional communication functionality through compatible modules.
The ACREL Smart IoT Gateway 4G with 4 x RS485 and 2 x Ethernet provides a communication and data collection interface between field devices and higher-level monitoring or management systems. Its modular architecture allows the main gateway to operate independently while supporting additional communication modules for different application requirements.
The gateway can collect information from electricity meters, water meters, gas meters, protection equipment and other compatible devices through serial and Ethernet connections. It also provides eight passive dry contact inputs for collecting switching information such as access control, flooding and smoke detection signals.
The 4G communication module supports 2G, 3G and 4G communication according to the manufacturer's specifications for the ANet-M4G-HW module. Data can be transmitted through wired or cellular communication, with support for breakpoint continuation and formats including XML and JSON.
How it works
- Field devices communicate with the gateway through the available RS485 and Ethernet interfaces.
- The gateway collects meter, equipment and switching-value data from connected devices.
- The collected information can be transmitted through Ethernet or the installed 4G communication module.
- Breakpoint continuation and local storage interfaces help support data transmission and storage functions.
- Compatible communication protocols allow the gateway to interface with a range of monitoring and management systems.
Why choose this product
