SCB111-485-NB-DC

The SCB111-485-NB-DC gateway enables communication between RS485 RTU devices and cloud servers via CAT M1 or NB-IoT networks. It transmits data securely in JSON format using the MQTT protocol with AES128-bit encryption. Supporting three modes—standard, power-saving sleep, and alert—it adapts to various IoT needs. Configurable via MicroUSB and Windows utility, the gateway connects up to 20 Modbus slave devices, polls 30 Modbus registers, and sends data to the cloud in four MQTT messages. Compact and IP68-rated, it operates in harsh outdoor conditions (-40 to 70°C). Both internal and external antennas are supported for flexible deployment, and remote firmware updates (ThingsMaster OTA/FOTA) simplify large-scale operations.

Multiple Operating Mode- Standard, Alert, Sleeping

Standard Mode
•Keep Connection always
•System publish interval time follows MQTT setting
Sleeping Mode
•System wake-up and Trigger-On Relay to enable external circuit.
•RTU register polling will keep a standby timer for RTU ready.
•System publish register value in a publish interval time.
Alert Mode
•System working in sleeping
• mode, wake up polling RTU data.
•Check the RTU value exceeds the threshold value. Once the register value exceeds the condition value, then the system changes to standard mode and performs MQTT publish without sleeping
