PLC/Modbus to MQTT/OPC UA Gateway BL102
1 Gateway Introduction
General Description
BL102 is a Gateway that collects Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Delta,Allen-Bradley and Schneider
PLC data and converts to Modbus TCP, OPC UA, MQTT, HUAWEI Cloud, AWS, Alibaba Cloud, King
Pigeon Cloud protocols
It’s developed on embedded Linux operation system with high stability and various interfaces,
1RS485(optional RS232), 2 power inputs, 1 power output, 2 RJ45 Ethernet ports, 2 USB port, 1 SIM
card slot and 1 SD card slot. With 4G cellular and Ethernet network, it features with high speed and
low latency data transmission.
From downlink it supports various PLCs like Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Delta, Allen-Bradley,
Schneider,etc. From uplink it supports Modbus TCP, MQTT, OPC UA, HUAWEI Cloud, Alibaba Cloud,
AWS, ThingsBoard, King Pigeon cloud, etc. Users can quickly connect many different industrial
equipment to cloud platforms, SCADA, OPC UA, MES and other master computers. Devices can be
online in various cloud platforms and master computers simultaneously.
With TSL/SSL encryption, routing function and cascaded switch data collection, it can be used in
most of industrial application scenarios for secure data acquisition and remote monitoring purpose.
