Industrial IoT 4G LTE Router & Gateway With Ethernet, RS232, RS485 Serial Ports Plus Digital I/O
Posted by on
The ICR-3200 LTE gateway by Advantech represents an excellent solution to connect IP or serial devices to a cellular network, allowing industrial M2M and IoT applications that comprise of kiosks, industrial PCs, HMIs, traffic controllers, meters, UPS systems, and more.
Supporting LTE Cat.4 upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps and download speeds of up to 150 Mbps, the router renders abundant bandwidth for high data demand applications such as CCTV or public Wi-Fi hotspots.
The device comes with two independent or switched Ethernet ports plus RS232 and RS485 serial ports. The ICR-3200 has built-in digital I/O connectivity, real-time clock (RTC) with backup, and sleep mode support. It has two SIM readers protected by a metallic cover for carrier failover redundancy. Furthermore, the router is prepared for use with an internal eSIM.

The IoT Hacker's Handbook: A Practical Guide to Hacking the Internet of Things
Take a practical approach when it comes to investigating Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the security issues associated with the IoT architecture.
You will review IoT central components, from hardware communication interfaces, such as UART and SPI, to radio protocols, such as BLE or ZigBee. You will also learn to evaluate a device physically by opening it, looking at the PCB, and identifying the chipsets and interfaces.
You will use that information to obtain entry to the device or to perform other actions, such as dumping encryption keys and firmware.
As the IoT rises to one of the most popular tech trends, manufacturers need to take the necessary steps to secure devices and protect them from attackers. The IoT Hacker's Handbook breaks down the Internet of Things, exploits it, and reveals how these devices can be built securely.
Low-Cost Do-It-Yourself CAN Bus To WiFi, Bluetooth, BLE, USB, RS485 Gateway Based On Raspberry Pi Zero
In the following, I will discuss a do-it-yourself project utilizing the Raspberry Pi Zero in combination with the CAN Bus Plus RS485 HAT. The combination of serial and wireless ports provided by this system allows the development of a great number of gateway applications. Overall, this small-size hardware includes connections such as CAN Bus, RS485, [...]

Protocol Converter Supports SAE J1939, SAE J1587, CANopen, RS485, Modbus RTU
The Axiomatic AX140x00 Protocol Converter is an electrically isolated gateway between up to 2 SAE J1939 ports, CANopen, SAE J1587, RS485 or Modbus RTU and other combinations on request. The design addresses the harsh environments of engine applications. The CAN Bus gateway operates on 12 VDC or 24 VDC nominal power. A block library is available for modeling the converter [...]
RS232 to USB Converter With Arduino Due Or Mega 2560
Just about everyone who is involved with serial communication will have his/her RS232 to USB converter. Today's PCs don't even bother to support RS232. Consequently, a USB converter is mandatory to monitor RS232 data traffic. All this appears to render the following project obsolete. However, when it comes to a protocol converter, i.e. the conversion [...]
Expansion Cape for BeagleBone Features Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) And RS485 Interface
The BeagleBoard is a low-power open-source hardware single-board computer produced by Texas Instruments in association with Digi-Key and Newark element14. The BeagleBoard was also designed with open source software development in mind, and as a way of demonstrating the Texas Instrument's OMAP3530 system-on-a-chip. The board was developed by a small team of engineers as an [...]
