为了满足系统集成商和工程师为工业互联网（IIOT）开发应用程序的需求，Moxa推出了IIOT Gateway Starter Kit，其中包括对Amazon Web Services（AWS）的内置支持。该数据采用准备就绪的套件提供了一个可靠的现成平台，通过提供将数据从Edge设备获取到云服务所需的所有必需品，从而简化了IIOT解决方案的开发，并且几乎不需要编程。这会导致更快的开发，集成和上市时间，从而为系统集成商提供了所需的提升。
软件：ThingsPro网关
The first main component of the starter kit is ThingsPro Gateway, a ready-to-run data-acquisition software platform that simplifies the complex task of transferring edge data to the cloud.
To simplify getting your data, ThingsPro Gateway provides a Modbus framework to easily connect with Modbus RTU/TCP devices and SCADA systems. It also includes extensive network support for 4G connectivity, wireless failover, firewalls, and VPN to ensure that your data can be securely retrieved from remote field sites.
To get your data into the cloud, it has built-in client support for services such as AWS IoT and Cirrus Link Sparkplug. By integrating the AWS IoT Device SDK, ThingsPro Gateway lets you set up tags and devices on AWS IoT. You can then transfer field data to various AWS cloud services—such as Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, and Amazon S3—to collect, process, and store data. The starter kit also supports running AWS Greengrass to perform computing, messaging, data caching, and sync functions locally.
Furthermore, with the built-in Cirrus Link Sparkplug SDK, you can easily connect your IIoT Gateway to the Inductive Automation Ignition Platform or another MQTT server.
Moxa嵌入式计算部门的产品经理Johnny Fang说：“ IIOT网关的价值在连接边缘设备并将必要的数据带入云中。”“To enable faster integration between things in the field and services on the cloud and to help users to get their solutions to market sooner, we’re actively working to add support for more and more cloud services such as Microsoft Azure, Google IoT Core, and Schneider Wonderware in the coming releases.”
Finally, for those who need more customized solutions, ThingsPro Gateway includes C and Python APIs to accelerate your application development and create a tailored solution that meets your specific needs.
硬件：UC-8112边缘计算机
另一个主要组件是UC-8112 Edge Computer - 一个工业级现成的以通信为中心的计算平台，该平台包含1 GHz ARM处理器，512 MB RAM，两个LAN端口和两个串行端口，都在紧凑，棕榈大小的崎box。它提供了一个适用于各种应用的灵活平台，并且在宽温度模型中可用，该模型可以在刺激性的环境中运行到-40至75°C。它还具有多种无线配件，可在需要时添加LTE或Wi-Fi连接。对于那些已经使用Raspberry Pi开发概念验证的人，他们可以轻松地将其应用迁移到UC-8112，以将其IIT的想法从原型转变为适合工业应用和批量生产的坚固解决方案。
将所有内容融合在一起：IIOT Gateway Starter套件
By putting together the UC-8112 Edge Computer hardware and ThingsPro Gateway software, the IIoT Gateway Starter Kit presents a flexible, rugged, and powerful platform. It is ideal for remote monitoring, data acquisition, and data processing applications for a variety of IIoT applications, including solar energy, wind power, electric vehicle charging stations, water and wastewater monitoring, and smart manufacturing.
