What's inside ElastPro

  1. Overview of Elastel Arm-based IIoT gateways

    The Arm-based IIoT gateway product line is designed for industrial data acquisition and transmission. It includes the EG324 IoT Gateway, the EG324 Lite IoT Gateway, and the EC212 Industrial DTU.

  2. Overview of ElastPro Data Collect IIoT Gateway functionality

    Data Collect is the primary function of ElastPro that transforms eligible Elastel devices into IIoT Gateways. It allows users to configure data acquisition from Southbound Devices (such as sensors, IO devices, PLCs, and IP-based devices) via a webUI. The system can convert or filter data locally before sending it to Northbound Applications using various industrial protocols, including MQTT, SparkplugB, Modbus, OPCUA, BACnet, and DNP3.

  3. Overview of ElastPro configuration menus

    ElastPro configuration is organized into the following functional areas:

    • Dashboard: Monitor system and network status.
    • Network: All network-related configuration settings.
    • Data Collect: Southbound (acquisition) and northbound (reporting) connection settings (e.g., collecting Modbus data and reporting via MQTT).
    • Protocol Convert: Conversion between Modbus RTU/TCP and BACnet MSTP/IP.
    • Remote Access: Remote management via DDNS, VPN, and other platforms.
    • Services: Integration of 3rd party services including Node-Red, LoraWAN NS Chirpstack, and Docker.
    • System: General system and device configuration settings.

  4. Overview of Elastel IIoT Hardware and Software Ecosystem

    Elastel provides an integrated ecosystem of Industrial IoT (IIoT) hardware, gateway software, and management services designed for flexible application development and remote deployment.

    Hardware Offerings

    Elastel provides industrial-grade hardware that allows users to configure and develop custom programs:

    • ThingsWing: A SaaS platform providing secure remote access and management for edge device deployments using distributed system technology.

  5. Overview of Python development on Elastel Gateways

    All Elastel gateways include a built-in Python 3 interpreter for edge IoT development. Common use cases include serial and network communication (Modbus, MQTT, TCP/UDP), data acquisition, local processing, controlling hardware peripherals (LEDs, buzzers, relays), and cloud integration.

  6. Overview of Elastel Industrial Cellular Routers

    Elastel provides a range of industrial cellular routers for reliable connectivity in IIoT solutions. The product line includes the ER550 Industrial Dual-SIM 5G Router, the ER500 Industrial Dual-SIM Cellular Router, and the ER200 Compact Industrial Cellular Router.

  7. Overview of ElastPro IIoT Edge Gateway

    ElastPro is an IIoT edge gateway software powered by Elastel that runs on Elastel Industrial-Grade edge devices. It provides a web-based UI for simplifying Industrial IoT deployments, specifically covering Device Management, Network Configuration, Data Collection, Protocol Conversion, and Data-to-Cloud integration.

  8. Overview of Elastel Industrial Raspberry Pi series

    The Industrial Raspberry Pi series consists of edge computing devices designed for industrial applications. The product line includes the EG500 Edge Computing Gateway, the EG410 IIoT Edge Gateway, and the ElastBox400 Industrial Computer.

  9. Overview of the Elastel EC212 Industrial DTU Modem

    The Elastel EC212 is a compact industrial Data Transfer Unit (DTU) modem designed for data acquisition, Modbus Gateway applications, and general communication. It enables the connection of serial and Ethernet devices (such as PLCs, meters, and sensors) to a datacenter over a cellular network. It features a Linux-based firmware, a web-based configuration portal, and a hardware watchdog for industrial reliability.

  10. EG324 IoT Gateway Hardware Overview

    The Elastel EG324 is an industrial-grade IoT Gateway designed for embedded data acquisition and communication. It runs an optimized Ubuntu 20.04 firmware and includes prebuilt ElastPro IIoT Gateway software. The device is fanless with a metal enclosure and supports DIN-rail or wall mounting, operating in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

  11. ER500 Industrial Cellular Router Overview

    The Elastel Elink ER500 is a dual-SIM industrial cellular router designed for global 4G LTE networks. It runs an OpenWRT-based configurable OS (ElastOS) and is built for industrial environments with a wide operating temperature range (-35°C to +75°C) and wide-range power inputs (5-36V VDC). It features seamless SIM switching for uninterrupted connectivity and supports both Ethernet and serial data transmission.

  12. Identify Elastel Gateway models supporting C# development

    Elastel gateways based on Open Linux OS support C# applications via the .NET runtime. Compatibility depends on the processor architecture:

    • Arm64 Supported: EG500, EG410, ElastBox400, EG324 Lite.
    • Arm32 Supported: EG324 (Ubuntu OS).
    • Not Supported: EC212 and EC211 (due to limited storage).
