Now available in North and South America, the new Moxa 4G LTE Jump Start Kit addresses two key pain points when connecting operations to the Industrial Internet of Things - collecting data from industrial devices, and transmitting that data in an efficient format to a cloud-connected platform. It contains everything a system integrator or OEM needs to establish the necessary connectivity for industrial operations and sites, including: an easily-programmed Modbus data logger with built-in 4G LTE communications, a Modbus gateway that connects to most commercially-available PLCs and RTUs, and an I/O module to collect analog and digital sensor data.
The core of the 4G LTE Jump Start Kit is a programmable Modbus data logger that runs Debian Linux and is powered by a 1 GHz ARM7 processor. The datalogger features Moxa's new ThingsPro software, which provides an easy-to-use platform to collect, process, format, customize, and share data from attached devices. This data can be instantly available to any cloud-connected database or platform over the unit's built-in 4G LTE cellular connection for central management, reporting, advanced analytics, and new Industrial Internet of Things applications.
ThingsPro includes:
- simple web-based configuration interface
- RESTful APIs for easy access to all Modbus & 4G functions
- C/C++/Python APIs for access to the collected Modbus data
