3.1 Product description
The ABB Ability™ Edge Industrial Gateway is a IoT Gateway designed to deliver LTE connectivity with
3G/4G fallback to industrial and lightly rugged applications.
ABB Ability™ Edge Industrial Gateway is an independent IoT gateway which can gather data from field
devices – as well as consumption of water and gas, among others – and connect the system to ABB
Ability™ Energy and Asset Manager, our cloud platform. As a result, all downstream field devices can be
monitored from the cloud via an Ethernet cable, wi-fi or mobile connectivity.
—
3.2 Product models
The ABB Ability™ Edge Industrial Gateway has two models called local view and cloud-connected.
The main difference between these models are supported interfaces and required connectivity.
The local view model can be used standalone inside private network without connection to cloud.
Differences can be seen on table below:
—
3.3 Intended use and not allowed uses of the product
The product is intended for professional use and must be installed by qualified personnel only.
The product must be installed in a secured location, accessible to authorized personnel only
