EdgeBox ESP-100 Industrial Edge Controller

EdgeBox-ESP-100 represents the lightweight, multi-functional controller. It carries various wireless capabilities and multiple Fieldbus, which makes it an independent PLC for field automation applications, or enables it as an industrial gateway for offering the original PLC the communicated ability to network and cloud.

EdgeBox-ESP-100 is an ESP32-based controller designed for lightweight automation solutions. It supports analog input, effectively monitoring and controlling in a remote environment, ideal for PID control loops, logic sequencing control, or a gateway with flexible wireless and field sensors expansion.

It offers isolated CAN, RS485 Fieldbus connections, and rich IO resources for extensive facilities and sensors input, for both digital and analog signals. It is perfectly satisfactory to the PLC and field automation applications.

Since it contains on-chip Wi-Fi and BLE functions, and also includes a 4G LTE module Cellular, EdgeBox-ESP-100 can be utilized to establish an industrial gateway, enabling the original PLC to connect the network or cloud.
