The SurgeGateway - ensures interoperability with fieldbus based industrial networks, allowing data communication using Modbus RTU/TCP protocols, SAE automotive interoperability with the SAE CAN J1939, J1708, J1587 protocols, and as well as BACnet in building automation spectrum and DLMS/COSEM (IEC 62056, AINSI C12, EN13757-1), IEC61850 protocols  in power utility industry. Additional protocol integrations can be embedded to allow monitoring and real-time connectivity to assets of all types.

Providing end-to-end connectivity from the edge to the cloud, the SurgeGateway supports a wide variety of wired and wireless field communication protocols. The gateway supports connectivity via the cloud communication link utilizing cellular, Wi-Fi and 10/100 Base-T WAN interface options.

The SurgeGateway cloud-ready IoT gateway solution delivers an open-architecture solution based on a scalable and reliable hardware platform powered by Texas Instruments ARM processor and fieldbus expansion capability.

SurgeGateway Provides Intelligence at the Device

With data channels opened, the volume of machine and sensor generated data published into IoT platforms can be overwhelming and stress network resources. Setting data handling policies to extract the necessary information for manufacturers therefore is of critical importance. Greenstar Technologies embedded device framework (EDF) performs preliminary data analysis and event management on the edge. Leveraging the power of the SurgeGateway this capability provides analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge providing improved responsiveness and minimizing the need for cloud-based data processing.

To simplify the implementation of data handling policies, Greenstar Technologies IoT gateways offer a web-based user interface for network provisioning and click-to-connect command for pre-integrated edge devices. This solution allows manufacturers to easily create granular policies, define physical connection interfaces, data collection intervals, network protocols and cloud connectors. For manufacturers with special protocol needs, Greenstar Technologies, embedded device framework (EDF) provides support for proprietary protocol development and integration.

The embedded device framework addresses critical aspects of deployment and management of gateways in the realm of connected devices and device cloud including the following key features -

  • Data normalization and control engine
  • Cloud-based device provisioning, management and configuration
  • Programmable business rules and edge analytics
  • Power optimization algorithms
  • Optimized uplink/cellular bandwidth management
  • Secure, encrypted data transfer from device to cloud
  • Error correcting code (ECC) to avoid potential gateway crashes and data quality/integrity issues
