Description
Introduction
ThingsPro Edge is an IIoT gateway software that helps transform your edge computer into a secure and reliable IIoT gateway to suit your business needs. System administrators on the operation technology (OT) side can use its intuitive web GUI to ensure continuous operation while IT developers can use RESTful APIs to configure, monitor, and effectively control IIoT gateway devices. ThingsPro Edge also provides:
- Modbus polling engine with easy-to-use web-based UI for data acquisition from end devices deployed in industrial field sites
- Simplified transfer of Modbus device data to a MQTT broker in cloud applications
- Supports configurable data transmission for telemetry data upload to cloud. Leverages message groups, custom payload, and JSON-based configurable scheme, to meet the demands of cloud applications.
- A network manager that handles field device connectivity to a WAN
System Architecture
Integration With Public and Private Cloud Platforms
- Supports Azure IoT Device, AWS IoT Core, Sparkplug, and MQTT client
- Supports remote device management via cloud portals such as Azure Direct Method enabling device reboots and configuration updates
- Supports MQTT input and output topics for invoking RESTful APIs
Streamlined Sensor-to-cloud Data Transportation
- Modbus master to acquires data from edge devices and publish tagged data to cloud connectivity applications
- Caching of device-to-cloud messages in a specified location and defining policies to send these messages to the cloud
- Customizing of the message format used to publish acquired data to cloud platforms to suit your applications or systems

Device Management
- Dashboard overview to monitor resource consumption and device configurations such as GPS settings and cellular strength signal
- Supports keep-alive check and default route priority to ensure continuous network connectivity
- Supports Wi-Fi access point mode to remotely connect to devices for troubleshooting
- Import and export system configuration to create backups or golden samples
Secure Design and Robust OTA Upgrade
- SecureBoot function and a built-in Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to enhance the security of your IIoT gateways
- Over-the-air (OTA) upgrades to keeps the software and device firmware up-to-date
- The resume capability ensures the integrity of the upgrade packs and the roll-back mechanism events failed upgrades
Batch Provisioning
- ThingsPro Proxy (TPP) for batch configuring and provisioning of IIoT gateways. TPP is a Windows-based utility, which can be download from the Moxa website and install in a Windows 10 environment.
- Supports ThingsPro Edge installation
- Effortlessly provisioning of devices including software upgrade, cloud enrollment, and device configuration
