The IOT2020 is an open and flexible industrial IoT (Internet of Things) gateway designed for continuous industrial operation. It can be used to retrieve, process, analyze, and send data to virtually any device or network. With multiple interfaces, including Ethernet, USB, and micro SD, the product is compatible with open-source software such as the Arduino IDE and Yocto Linux, enabling programming in high-level languages like Java, C++, and JSON. The IOT2020 is expandable with Arduino boards and via an integrated PCIe port.
The device is attractively priced, has industrial certifications and UL and CE approvals, and is perfect for educational use. It allows students to experiment with hands-on industrial development and enables startups and makers to openly develop ideas for professional applications and projects.
“RS has been a long-time Arduino partner and provides excellent support to the large community of developers working with Arduino hardware and software,” said Massimo Banzi, co-founder of Arduino. “The new IOT2020 is an excellent addition to Arduino’s product range and a great way for young engineers to get started and introduced to the Industrial IoT.”.
“While RS focuses primarily on business-to-business customers, Arduino is the perfect partner for RS to reach individual consumers such as students, small engineering firms, or design collectives like those that make up the maker community,” commented Paolo Carnovale, Global Category Marketing Manager at RS, adding: “Arduino has a global reputation and the right reach to provide ‘learning’ products and technology to these markets.”.
