Manufacturer's description: EdgeBox-ESP-100 - industrial Edge controller 512 KB + 8 MB RAM + 16 MB Flash - Seeedstudio 102991735
EdgeBox-ESP-100 is a compact, multifunctional controller designed for industrial automation and IoT applications. It has a wide range of communication interfaces, such as Ethernet, RS485, CAN , and also supports wireless connections via WiFi, Bluetooth and a 4G LTE module. Thanks to the use of the ESP32S3 microcontroller and isolated digital and analog inputs and outputs, it is an excellent solution for demanding industrial applications. The aluminum housing ensures durability and resistance to harsh operating conditions. Additionally, the device supports the LoRaWAN protocol, which allows for further expansion of communication capabilities, especially in the case of long-distance data transmission in IoT networks. Thanks to the rich number of interfaces, the device can act as an IoT gateway, connecting traditional PLC controllers with industrial networks and enabling their integration with the cloud. Programming is possible using ESP-IDF , and full support for the IEC 61131-3 standard (in development) provides additional possibilities for integration with control systems.
The manufacturer has prepared a detailed user guide that makes it much easier to start working with the controller.
