Based on the Electric Imp imp005 module, the Fieldbus Gateway gives engineers an easily customizable and programmable lightweight gateway platform thatcan support a wide range of fieldbus systems, protocols and custom functionality to securely enable industrial control and monitoring applications.If you are new to the Electric Imp Platform, we recommend that you first work through the Fieldbus Gateway Getting Started Guide(/docs/hardware/fieldbusgateway/intro/), which will show you how to create a free Electric Imp account, configure your Fieldbus Gateway for Internet connectivity, andintroduce you to the process of creating connected products using the Platform.Application ExamplesThanks to the Electric Imp Platform’s reliable networking and robust security — delivered through the impCloud™ and impOS™ — and the imp005 module’s ability to runfully customizable application software, the Fieldbus Gateway can be used to kick-start the development of a wide range of industrial applications, including:Industrial Modbus-Internet gateway to securely connect isolated Modbus RTU (RS-485) or Modbus TCP (Ethernet) devices or subsystems to enterprise productionsystems.HVAC-Internet gateway to remotely monitor and control industrial heating, cooling and ventilation systems.Internet gateway and controller for Power over Ethernet (PoE) lighting systems.Internet gateway for secure connectivity retrofit of products with a data port (for example, USB or UART), such as printers, scales, scanners, and other consumer andindustrial devices.BACnet-Internet gateway to retrofit existing BACnet (RS-485) systems with connectivity to building management systems.Low-cost and highly secure alternative to industrial Linux gateways for many use cases such as process monitoring or protocol conversion (using the on-boardXBee® or mikroBUS™ sockets to attach a variety of I/O interfaces).Open Source Design and Optimized Bill of MaterialsThe impAccelerator Fieldbus Gateway is an open source design with an optimized Bill of Materials (BoM). This allows customers to seamlessly scale from Proof of Conceptto product deployment in volume with cost-optimized hardware designs and reusable software.For production in 1000-unit volume, the expected BoM for the Fieldbus Gateway design is around $50 (all features included) and less depending on the feature subset,down to below $20 for a basic design.** ![](https://maker.wiznet.io/upload/ckeditor5/27049668%5F1717173442%2Epng) 3/16/2017 Electric Imp - impAccelerator Fieldbus Gateway https://electricimp.com/docs/hardware/resources/reference-designs/fieldbusgateway/ 2/7 **Availability and PricingFully assembled Fieldbus Gateway base units are available for pre-order (/businesssolutions/fieldbus-gateway/) now.Key FeaturesConnectivityDual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) 802.11abgn WiFi via RP-SMA antenna (included)WAN Ethernet via RJ45 connectorIsolated LAN Ethernet via second RJ45 connectorUSB 2.0 Low-Speed/Full-Speed host with stack in impOS™Isolated RS-485 port with transmit inhibit optionElectric Imp Moduleimp005 (/docs/hardware/imp/modules/) (Murata Type 1GC)ExpansionSupport for MikroElectronica Click™ module via MikroBUSSupport for XBee moduleApplication FeedbackUser-controllable red, yellow and green front-panel LEDs controlled via imp005 GPIO pinsPower Source OptionsIsolated Class 2 Power Over Ethernet (PoE)8-24V AC/DC5VDC via mini USB connector (power only; no data** --- Source: https://maker.wiznet.io/TheoIm/resellers/impaccelerator-fieldbus-gateway/
