Axiomtek recently unveiled their IFB122, a RISC-based DIN-rail industrial IoT gateway powered by the low-power Freescale i.MX 6UL-2 processor in the ARM Cortex-A7 micro architecture. Designed to meet the challenges in critical environments, it supports an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, a flexible wide voltage range of 9V – 48V DC power input, and it can withstand vibration up to 5G. One PCI Express Mini Card slot, one SIM card slot, and two internal antennas are available for Wi-Fi and 3G/4G connections. With the abilities to transmit data and manage various devices, the IP40-rated IFB122 is a solution for remote control/monitoring management applications such as unmanned control room, industrial machine, automatic parking lot, traffic cabinet, etc.
Utilizing the ARM Cortex-A7 processor, the DIN-rail fanless gateway comes with one 256MB DDR3 onboard memory and one 4GB eMMC flash memory for storage. While measuring 31 x 100 x 125 mm in size, it has rich I/O connections including two RS-232/422/485 ports, two 10/100 Mbps LAN ports with 1.5KV magnetic isolation protection, one USB 2.0 port, and one digital I/O (2-IN/1-OUT). LED indicators on the front panel show the status of the device. The industrial grade DIN-rail embedded platform comes with Yocto embedded Linux to provide an open standard operating system for software program development.

For complete details about the book, visit http://enterpriseiotbook.com “Internet of Things is a vision where every object in the world has the potential to connect to the Internet and provide their data so as to derive actionable insights on its own or through other connected objects“ The object can be anything – a vehicle, machinery, airport, city, people, phone or even a shoe. From a connected vehicle solution, you can understand the driver behavior and vehicle usage patterns, from a connected machines solution you can determine when do machines need servicing, from a connected airport solution you can understand many things like – how much time the passenger needs to wait for check-in and security, from an operating perspective it could help to optimize the passenger movement and ensure the right equipments are available at the right time to ensure quick serviceability and finally say, from a connected footwear solution you can understand how much you have run so far and your app can automatically purchase a new pair of shoes based on the remaining shoe life.
