The IoTmini is the entry-level IoT gateway for small sites. It connects energy meters, sensors, PLCs and controllers over RS485, converts their protocols, and sends the readings to your SCADA, cloud platform or database.
At a glance
- 1 LAN port with 1 or 2 RS485 ports
- Up to 256 data points
- Optional built-in Wi-Fi, or built-in 4G models
- MQTT, HTTP, HTTPS, REST API, OPC UA and database output
- Store and forward: keeps data during network loss and uploads it afterwards
- JavaScript edge logic and OpenVPN remote access
Typical Applications
- Small factories and workshops reading meters and PLCs
- Energy and water metering in buildings and tenant spaces
- Solar and generator monitoring on remote sites (4G models)
- Cold rooms, pump houses and utility cabinets
- Pilot IoT projects at universities and research labs
Devices and protocols it can talk to
The gateway family ships with ready-made drivers, so most meters, PLCs and controllers connect without custom programming:
- Modbus RTU, ASCII, TCP, RTU over TCP, and Modbus RTU master or server
- BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP and BACnet routing, plus OPC UA, OPC DA and OPC XML DA
- Energy meters and water, gas and heat meters (DL/T 645 and CJ188)
- PLCs from Mitsubishi, Siemens, Omron, Allen-Bradley, Keyence, Fuji, Yokogawa and others, including EtherNet/IP
- Power systems (IEC 104, IEC 61850) and CNC machines (Fanuc, Siemens, Syntec and others)
- Building systems: KNX IP, C-BUS, Daikin and other HVAC, lifts, motors and curtain control
- Water and environment monitoring (HJ/T 212, SL651)
- Cloud and IT: MQTT, HTTP, HTTPS, REST API, and SQL Server, MySQL and Access databases
How it works
The gateway reads data from your meters, PLCs and controllers over RS485 or Ethernet, converts the different protocols into one common format, and sends the data to your SCADA, cloud or business system. If the network drops, it stores the data locally and uploads it automatically when the connection returns. Settings are done from a web page, and JavaScript logic on the gateway can calculate, convert or filter values before they are sent.
