The Key to Industrial IoT Connectivity
Core Communication Software for Industrial Automation
Chroma IoT Gateway is a powerful software platform designed to solve complex data communication challenges in industrial networks. This communication software enables streamlined data collection, integration, and management across a variety of devices and applications. Users can easily connect, monitor, and control diverse automation equipment through an intuitive interface.
Bridge the Gap between MES and Automation Equipment
Chroma IoT Gateway integrates widely used industrial automation communication protocols, including various types of PLCs, sensors, and robotic arms. The software can also be used with Chroma's DCN-820 data collector, integrating factory equipment and the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in one system. This allows data from various industrial devices to be converted and transmitted to the MES, achieving efficient data integration and real-time communication between equipment and MES. It enables real-time monitoring of equipment status, management of machine parameters and recipes, quality control of production, reducing defects, and increasing productivity.
Support for SECS and Non-SECS Interfaces
Chroma IoT Gateway supports both SECS and non-SECS interfaces. This versatility extends to its host architecture, allowing deployment on PC or Linux operating systems, as well as Chroma's DCN-820 equipped with Linux OS. Beyond SECS, the gateway accommodates a wide array of non-SECS interfaces, including databases, Web APIs, PLC drivers, OPC UA, and Modbus. For SECS interfaces, the Chroma DCN-820 can function as either the Equipment Side or Host Side. This enables customized EAP architecture solutions tailored to specific customer requirements.
