Advantech announced the launch of the UNO-247 V2, an industrial IoT gateway advancing its UNO-200 IoT automation gateway series. Powered by the Intel N97 processor, the UNO-247 V2 plays a key role in the automation industry and smart manufacturing by enabling remote control, decision-making, and connectivity at the edge of industrial networks.
It acts as an intermediary between sensors, actuators, and Cloud systems, offering robust performance in latency-sensitive environments. By reducing the reliance on centralised data processing, UNO-247 V2 improves industrial protocol integration, system reliability, optimises bandwidth usage, and enables advanced capabilities such as predictive maintenance, enhanced cybersecurity, and seamless integration with industrial IoT ecosystems.
The UNO-247 V2 from Advantech features comprehensive I/O capabilities, equipped with 4 x Gigabit Ethernet ports, 6 x COM ports (2 x RS-232/422/485 and 4 x RS-485), 4 x USB ports, and dual display outputs via HDMI and VGA. This extensive connectivity ensures seamless integration with various industrial devices and systems, making it a suitable solution for complex automation environments.
Powered by the Intel N97 processor with frequencies up to 3.6GHz, the UNO-247 V2 delivers high computing performance for Edge applications, offering over a 160% performance improvement compared with its predecessor. The system supports up to 16GB of DDR5 memory and offers flexible storage options including mSATA and 2.5″ SATA drives, enabling efficient data processing and storage at the edge. This enhanced processing power ensures smooth handling of resource-intensive applications while maintaining reliable operation in industrial settings.
The gateway has versatility across different industrial applications, including:
- Temperature control in glass manufacturing, where precise temperature monitoring is critical for product strength and safety. The UNO-247 V2 with multiple RS-485 ports enables PLC connectivity for comprehensive temperature control
- Real-time kiosk data acquisition in gas stations, enabling the control room to monitor and manage site inventory, transactions, equipment, and safety parameters through cloud/network connectivity
- Device management systems in factory process automation, streamlining operations through centralised monitoring and control
- Remote control applications in CNC tooling machines, ensuring secure and responsive machine operation with minimal latency
