EG8200 Gateway
The IOTRouter EG8200 is an industrial edge computing gateway featuring an ARM-based processor and a drag-and-drop Zero Code programming environment that simplifies protocol conversion and data routing without custom software. It supports Modbus RTU/TCP, OPC UA, IEC 60870-5-104, and BACnet protocols natively, bridging legacy industrial equipment to modern IoT platforms. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, dual Ethernet ports, and Wi-Fi, with MQTT as the uplink transport for cloud and platform integration.
Overview
The IOTRouter EG8200 is an industrial edge computing gateway built around a drag-and-drop Zero Code programming model. It collects data from RS485, RS232 and CAN field devices, speaks Modbus, IEC 60870-5-104, OPC UA and BACnet, and forwards it over 4G LTE, Ethernet or Wi-Fi. This page lists the gateway specification and how it connects to ThingsBoard over MQTT.
