• Data protocol processing, video protocol processing, electrical IO quantity processing, embedded SCADA system "four in one" Protocol and edge calculation function secondary development ability, support C/ expression/ladder diagram /Java/Python application programming
• 1000+ sets of practical application cases, suitable for many industrial Ethernet, Internet of things application scenarios
• Embedded SCADA function, connected to the display screen or published through Web, replace the original X86+Windows conventional SCADA system function

Product introduction

• this product have large industrial Internet of things intelligent gateway is a new generation of Internet of things access equipment, equipped with 2 independent IP Ethernet and 8 RS485 interface, flexible configuration, widely used in power, oil, factories and mines, and the Internet of things industry automation monitoring occasions.
• In order to meet the complex electrical and gas access requirements, CS6000N has designed three extensible IO slots. Each IO slot can be configured as any one of 8XRS485, 8XDI, 8XDO or 8XAI IO boards according to the needs, providing flexible configuration combinations.
• it has built-in massive protocol interpretation library and real-time database, can connect various domestic and foreign protection devices, measurement and control devices, IEDs and other equipment, and support IEC61850.Special specifications can be customized according to user requirements;Open API is provided to facilitate users to develop proprietary software, which can be downloaded independently.
• supports access of hundreds of devices, data protocol parsing, conversion and unified transmission.
• it has another big characteristic, is a powerful video processing capabilities, including RTSP/RTMP video of push-pull flow, Onvif/GB28181 protocol stack and other video surveillance transmission function, for many manufacturers video front-end equipment (IPC and NVR) compatible with access, equipped with large capacity hard disk can replace the NVR, video footage and playback function, provides the industry's only data fusion + video solutions.
• supports complete SCADA system functions under 5000 points through HDMI display interface and USB keyboard and mouse (or touch screen).
• supports three configurations:
• Built-in Web management, query/configure the working parameters of the device through the browser
• Dedicated configuration software configures device parameters
• Cloud remote management, configuration and diagnosis of gateways through gateways, firmware and application upgrade
• it's uses advanced Icoupler ® digital isolation technology, RS485 automatic direction control, RS485 zero delay transmission technology, fully consider the particularity of industrial field application in the design, follow EMI/EMC design specifications, adapt to a variety of harsh industrial field and the Internet of Things site, ensure communication and a variety of IO semaphoretic reliability.
