Introduction

With the rapid development of Industry 4.0, it is deeply recognised that real-time, reliable and secure data transmission is crucial in industrial production and life. In this context, high-performance industrial automation PLC data transmission solutions - protocol conversion gateway came into being, widely used in industrial automation systems, PLC remote monitoring and IoT application environment.

BLIIoT always insists on the core of the user's needs, and constantly expands its applications in a variety of industrial fields. Recently, we have developed a new series of BLIIoT industrial PLC protocol gateways, which not only have excellent stability and anti-interference ability, but also explore the application of industry segments, aiming to bring users a new experience of industrial automation data acquisition and conversion.

Product Description

PLC Gateway BL104 is a specially developed for PLC connect MQTT and OPC UA system and remote PLC program uploading and downloading debugging.

The downlink protocol supports PLC protocols such as Mitsubishi, Siemens, Omron, Delta, Schneider, etc. and Modbus protocol.

The uplink protocol supports Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, MQTT and OPC UA, access to Cloud, Server, SCADA, MES, ERP and other systems.

PLC Gateway BL104 hardware interfaces include 2 or 6 RS485/RS232 serial ports, 2 network ports and 1 WiFi wireless transmission interface, which realises seamless communication between PLC and OPC UA system.

The PLC gateway BL104 has an industrial-grade design to ensure reliability in harsh environments. BL104 is suitable for industrial automation systems, PLC remote monitoring and IoT applications.The PLC gateway BL104 connects to the future of the industry and provides users with a trusted, low-cost, stable and reliable PLC to Modbus, MQTT and OPC UA solution.

By using its own patented rail-clip technology, the installation process is simplified and the utility of the gateway is ensured.

Product features

Supported protocols: Downlink protocol: Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Mitsubishi, Siemens, Omron, Delta, Schneider and other mainstream PLC protocols.Uplink protocol: Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, MQTT, SNMP and OPC UA.
Hardware interface: 6*RS485/RS232 serial ports: The serial ports are independent of each other. Each serial port parameter can be set to collect different protocols. The serial port can also set the master-slave relationship independently. It can be configured as either a master station or a slave station.2*network ports: used for data collection and forwarding. The LAN port has a routing function and provides a channel for other devices to connect to the external network.1*4G or WiFi wireless transmission interface: Provides diverse communication options to adapt to different industrial environment need
Data security：Support data TSL/SSL, X.509 certificate, SNMPV1/V2, key encryption and other security gateway functions.
Remote Configuration Support: Support remote PLC programming and program uploading and downloading, saving travelling costs and improving service response speed. Support remote configuration, providing users with convenient management and monitoring methods, no longer need to visit engineers, saving maintenance costs.
