* NOTE
The box supports LoRaWAN® communication but requires soldering to replace the 4G module.
EdgeBox-ESP-100 represents the lightweight, multi-functional controller. It carries various wireless capabilities and multiple Fieldbus, which makes it an independent PLC for field automation applications, or enables it as an industrial gateway for offering the original PLC the communicated ability to network and cloud.
EdgeBox-ESP-100 is an ESP32-based controller designed for lightweight automation solutions. It supports analogue input, effectively monitoring and controlling in a remote environment, ideal for PID control loops, logic sequencing control, or a gateway with flexible wireless and field sensors expansion.
Besides EdgeBox-ESP-100, We also have the other 2 Edge products for different solutions in the Edge family, powered by Raspberry Pi. To help you understand the differences deeply and choose the most suitable part for your projects, please refer to the Seeed Studio Edge Series Page. or our Edge Series Blog Post
It offers isolated CAN, RS485 Fieldbus connections, and rich IO resources for extensive facilities and sensors input, for both digital and analogue signals. It is perfectly satisfactory to the PLC and field automation applications.
Since it contains on-chip Wi-Fi and BLE functions, and also includes a 4G LTE module Cellular, EdgeBox-ESP-100 can be utilized to establish an industrial gateway, enabling the original PLC to connect to the network or cloud.
This portable box comes with rugged hardware, an electrical design, and an aluminium alloy enclosure, by which it maintains its function in a wide temperature range and provides high surge and short circuit protection, for diverse deployment methods based on your business.
