Since the RUFF Gateway was officially launched in 2016, it has experienced many iterations and practical application in customer scenarios. In 2017, it was put into internal project and started commercial use.
Up to now, high-performance edge computing gateway RGWI5110 has served multiple business scenarios including industrial manufacturing, energy and power, environmental monitoring, address disaster monitoring, intelligent agriculture, and so on, with a total shipment of more than 10000 sets; Since the low power data acquisition gateway RGWI1200 was put into research and development in the second half of 2020, it has completed the shipment of 15,000 sets, and has been mature applied to the geological disaster monitoring projects in remote areas. In the second quarter of 2021, version 1.0 of RUFF South Internet of Things device management platform was officially launched. At the same time, RGWI0600, a small gateway focusing on general wireless data transmission scenarios, began to realize mass production. It only took 3 months from the preliminary research and development to the commercial application. At the same time, it can be independently realized out of the box with the equipment management platform of RUFF South Chain of Things, and the equipment data collection and configuration can be completed in one minute.
So, the official release of the full series of gateways what are the characteristics and parameters of the configuration?
Interconnection of cross-protocol devices to achieve standardized acquisition
RGWI5110 as an example, since the implementation of the application in 2017, has achieved nearly 100 kinds of industrial protocol standardization collection, including Siemens, Schneider, Rockwell, Mitsubishi, Brother, Fanaka, Omron, Panasonic, General Electric, Delta and a variety of sensors, inverters and other equipment types, including the manufacturer’s own agreement, Can also do rapid development and data acquisition and transmission.
In addition, the gateway also supports JavaScript language for secondary development, to help customers quickly and efficiently realize the development of applications for the Internet of Things.
One minute to realize the SaaS terminal independent collection configuration
Take RGWI0600 as an example, the gateway with RUFF IoT platform, can independently realize the rapid data acquisition configuration, device monitoring, real-time/historical data view, OTA upgrade, automatic positioning, traffic monitoring and SIM card package changes and other management functions.
It is worth mentioning that the gateway has carried out special optimization measures for the installation and troubleshooting process. Through the display screen to display equipment running status information, equipment data collection and reporting information, SIM card information, equipment diagnosis information and so on, it can help on-site installation and debugging personnel to quickly judge the cause of failure and timely and effective treatment.
At the same time, in the actual operation process of the equipment, the end customer can visually view the status information of the equipment and quickly understand the operation status of the equipment through the display screen, so as to help the end customer to achieve rapid, stable and low-cost equipment networking needs.
Industrial level stability and reliability guarantee
Take RGWI1200 as an example, the gateway has its own activation mechanism and NSM service (network state monitoring). The former can avoid abnormal off-line equipment through multi-level protection measures such as watchdog and platform connection protection, so as to ensure stable operation of the business. The latter can monitor the network state in real time by built-in multi-type monitoring policy, and realize the self-recovery of the gateway anomaly by automatic re-registration of the network, restart and other multi-level protection measures when the network is abnormal, so as to effectively guarantee the business continuity. At present, all series of gateways have their own protection mechanism and NSM service. In addition, all gateway devices have gone through dozens of hardware tests, environmental tests and pressure tests before leaving the factory to ensure the stability of the equipment in the process of operation.
Pan-industrial class full scene application coverage
At present, in the factory manufacturing scene, most of the customer’s equipment belongs to the type of production equipment, including PLC/CNC and other equipment types, so the industrial grade edge computing gateway RGWI5110 is the most appropriate choice;
However, in geological disaster monitoring scenarios in remote areas, most of customers’ equipment is sensors and other types, and the frequency of data reporting is low. Therefore, the RGWI1200 model with low power consumption and NB-IoT protocol is the best choice.
Finally, for some data acquisition and control is relatively simple, data collection point is not too many scenes, general wireless data acquisition gateway RGWI0600 can well meet the basic requirements of customers.
Therefore, in view of the pan-industrial scene, RUFF South Tide IoT released the full series of gateways can well match a variety of business scenarios and collection requirements, to achieve the true full coverage of the full scene.
