1.1 Overview
The InGateway601 (IG601) combines 3G networks, intelligent protocol conversion, and VPN
technology to create a product designed for remote maintenance and management. The IG601 features
remote communication between the controller and data center, which provides an ingress (or gateway)
for the remote diagnosis and maintenance of the machines. The controller technicians can construct
large-scale networks for remote maintenance of equipment. The IG601 can also be employed as a
communication gateway for equipment to coordinate with each other.
With the IG601, technicians in the office can remotely program field PLCs, monitor variables and
receive alerts in real time. The IG601 supports both communications via the PLCs Ethernet port and
via the serial port. IG601 also supports status queries, PLC controls and alarm message via SMS. The
IG601 series utilizes the ubiquitous cellular network to the fullest and opens new horizons in remote
management and machine to machine communication.
