The UC series of IIoT Edge Gateways features the first ARM-based computers certified for Azure IoT Edge. Integrating Azure IoT Edge with Moxa's IIoT gateways benefits customers in numerous ways, particularly those working with Linux platforms. These benefits include secure remote connections that facilitate operation in remote areas, connectivity that enables sharing data from existing legacy applications with the cloud, and device management and product longevity that ensures users can deploy, scale, and maintain their IIoT applications.
The Moxa IoT Gateway UC-8100A-ME-T computing platform features a Cortex-A8 processor and is designed for embedded data collection applications. It has built-in remote communication capabilities and is Microsoft Azure-ready for easy data transfer from field devices to the cloud. The computer has RS-232/422/485 serial ports and dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, as well as a mini PCIe socket to support cellular modules. With these adaptable connectivity options, this small embedded computer is a reliable and secure gateway for field data collection and processing, as well as a useful communication platform for many other large-scale applications. Wide-range and LTE-ready models are available.
To simplify data collection, Moxa's IIoT Gateway solution comes with the ThingsPro Suite data collection software. This edge software accelerates device configuration, data acquisition (DAQ), and management. ThingsPro enables Modbus connectivity for data collection and processing and supports MQTT for lightweight edge-to-core data transmission. RESTful and Modbus APIs are available for deploying ThingsPro Gateway software features in IIoT applications.
