Seamlessly integrate data from diverse systems, devices and sensors into the
Industrial Internet of Things
The SmartSwarm 342 IIoT gateway is aimed at owners and operators of remote assets
wishing to integrate data from the asset into IIoT applications such as dashboarding,
analytics or predictive maintenance.
Data can be collected from a number of sources, including web feeds, databases and
files, as well as from locally connected physical devices and sensors. SmartSwarm
342 also includes an interface and manager for Advantech Wzzard™ wireless sensor
platform providing robust acquisition and transmission of asset sensor data without the
expense or time involved in installing cables. For bulk I/O requirements where cabling is
not an issue, it is also compatible with WISE and ADAM Ethernet connected I/O modules.
User Applications - SmartSwarm 342 offers flexible data acquisition, processing and
handoff via an inbuilt Node-RED user applications environment. Node-RED is a powerful,
yet simple to use, applications programming environment optimized for proc essing data
streams. Users drag and drop function nodes to acquire, process and output data, via an
internal web server interface provided by the SmartSwarm 342. Crucially, the Node-RED
environment is containerized, meaning that any user error made in programming cannot
crash the gateway, which will remain connected and available for remote management in
order to correct the error without the expense of a site visit.
In addition to offering local data processing, the Node-RED environment is also able to
create and serve local dashboards, providing a mechanism to serve summary data to
engineers, managers or operational staff.
Connectivity and Security- SmartSwarm 342 connects to enterprise applications
either via a local Ethernet WAN, or wirelessly via an internal cellular modem, and includes
the ability to switch between these connections for redundancy purposes. In addition,
the gateway provides a second Ethernet port intended to provide a local LAN connection,
and bridges traffic from this LAN to its active WAN connection. As such it may be used
as a cellular modem to allow any local Ethernet enabled device to obtain an outbound
WAN connection. All inbound WAN connections are prohibited by default via an internal
firewall and all enterprise communications can be via VPN with device authentication and
message encryption, significantly increasing the security of the device.
Configuration - Configuration is achieved via the Advantech SmartWorx Hub remote
configuration management tool that provides access to all configurable parameters and
allows the download of additional Node-RED nodes to enrich the base installed palette
without the need to visit the site
