- What is RS485 IoT edge gateway?CSV, MF4, MAT, ASC, blf
- What is the maximum power supply voltage supported by the gateway?Yes, options for Live trace are available.
- How does the gateway interface with a PC for configuration?Yes, there are separate products supporting that function.
- What types of data bits can the RS485 interface handle?CAN live view, filter, trigger, sleep modes, DBC option.
- What is the weight of the gateway?Please ensure that you have installed the driver. If not, you can contact Precisol Automation for the same.
- What material is the gateway enclosure made from?PreciCon Doesn’t export data after Interpolation or Resampling; the data is recorded and timestamped as received from the CAN bus. The gaps will be due to the difference in the transmission rate of various CAN messages.
- What type of data storage does the gateway use?Make sure that Visual C++ Redistributable x64 is installed.
- How many digital input channels are available on the gateway?Make sure that the CAN-FD to USB adapter Driver is installed on your computer; refer adapter Support page for instructions.

RS485 Serial IoT Edge Gateway
Our range of IoT Edge Gateways are an IP40 rated, industrial grade devices, supports different serial interfaces like RS232, RS422 and RS485 which makes it suitable for connecting your industrial devices to a cloud server. Thanks to its futuristic edge intelligence capability which enables user to set thresholds or conditions for reporting the events.
Utilizing the public cellular network (4G/2G), this small and robust wireless device allows industrial users to send data over great distances. This edge gateway can function as a Modbus gateway where any Modbus enabled serial device can be easily interfaced with little setups, enabling remote supervision from a central server.
Due to its support for multiple serial protocols, such as ASCII, Modbus RTU, and proprietary protocols, it is ideal for applications such as flow meter reading, remote controlling of PLCs, HMIs, etc. The device also offers a user-friendly interface for quick configuration and monitoring of data.

Applications
IoT Edge Gateway for Flow meter reading
Our RS485 serial IoT edge Gateway are fine tunned to supported most of the standard flow meters available in market. Most of the flowmeters supports serial interfaces with different protocols such as Modbus RTU/ASCII or proprietary protocols through which live data can be monitored using a cloud server. The instantaneous and totalized flow values can be acquired and displayed in PreciCloud dashboard enabling operators to monitor water usage, detect irregularities, and trigger alarms based on edge intelligence feature.
Modbus Gateway for PLC
PLC’s are commonly used in industrial automation applications where low cost versions generally supports serial interface like RS485, RS232 or RS422. Among them, RS485 half-duplex serial communication will be commonly available with support for Modbus. Our RS485 serial IoT edge gateway can be used as a Modbus gateway for such PLCs where connections and commissioning are made easy with very few steps.
With our PreciCon configurator tool, user can simply select the desired PLCs from the list of renowned manufacturers. All the Modbus register settings are pre-configured where by just choosing the required data and upload interval will be more than sufficient for device configuration. Just write the configuration.
