ESERA - Model ECO 1206 -Pro Central Processing Unit/ Industrial Sensor Gateway

The ECO 1206 Pro central unit is a powerful industrial gateway with a sensor interface of the latest generation. Ideally suited for all modern systems for plant and infrastructure monitoring.

The ECO 1206 Pro central unit supports secure data transmission on platforms such as Microsoft Azure IoT or SAP IoT via the MQTT SSL protocol standard*. The gateway fulfils the highest demands in mechanical and plant engineering.

The gateway has an access point and web server. Up to 30 sensors can be connected to the ECO 1206 fully automatically via the Industrial 1-Wire bus using the Auto-E-Connect Plug and Play system.

The ECO 1206 central unit offers a convenient web interface for device configuration and software updates. In addition, production data from all connected sensors can be read out via the WLAN interface. The device has protected antennas inside the housing for this interface.
In addition to the sensor bus interface, the device also has digital inputs and outputs, e.g. for alarm signalling devices. The ECO 1206 makes the sensor and production data of the connected sensors conveniently available via a web server. The web server can be accessed via WLAN and access point (activation at the touch of a button).

This system is a low-maintenance industrial device as no Linux is used. The gateway has been programmed natively over many years without the use of unknown libraries. Extensive software support is available free of charge
