Cloud Transformation Tip: Intelligent Industrial Gateway Design of NUC980 with Module L610 of LTE Cat 1
The new generation of smart automatic factories often uses serial ports or RS485 to connect with the manufacturing machine. In the industrial upgrading era with IIoT, all information must be uploaded to the cloud via the network. Therefore, the data transmitted by the serial ports or RS485 shall be transformed to the network. Thus, the new generation of smart industrial gateway design must convert and upload the data to the cloud.
Solution features:
Nuvoton NUC980 series MPU mainly features high capacity DRAM 128 MB SDRAM because the built-in DRAM can significantly reduce the overall cost while decreasing the PCB size and lowering the EMI. It is also equipped with various peripheral functions, including 10 UART serial ports, four sets of CAN 2.0 B, eight sets of USB Host, and dual Ethernet to meet multiple protocol converter solutions' application needs.
