The Neuron Ethernet Gateway is a device designed to provide a bridge between Neuron Sensors and the Neuron Cloud. The gateway sends sensor data using an ethernet connection to the cloud to be viewed in the Neuron app. This is beneficial in locations that do not have cellular coverage such as tunnels, underground facilities or on ships. The gateway is DIN-rail mounted, powered from 10-32 VDC and has two sub-GHz antennas to maximize sensor coverage.
General Description
The Neuron Ethernet Gateway is a powerful and versatile device designed to provide coverage for the Neuron suite of sensors. With its ethernet and serial connectivity, it provides a bridge between connected sensors and the internet, enabling users to view data in the Neuron app.

The gateway has several connectivity options: Dual sub-GHz antennas, RS485, dual-USB type A, ethernet, GNSS and a potential free normally-open 30VDC/5A relay. This enables it to expand the range of connectivity and flexibility making it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications in industrial automation, building automation, smart agriculture, energy management and remote monitoring and control.

The gateway has the ability to be managed and configured remotely which makes it easy to maintain and upgrade. All in all, this gateway offers a powerful and flexible solution for connecting your devices and systems to the internet, providing you with real-time data and control.



Principle of Operation
The broad range of Neuron Sensors connect to the cloud using the Neuron Ethernet Gateway over the Neuron proprietary sub-GHz radio protocol.

The advantage of these low frequency bands is that they travel farther and penetrate obstacles better than higher frequency bands, which results in a more reliable, low-power communication between devices.

The gateway translates the data and commands it receives from the sensors into a format that can be understood by the internet, i.e. TCP/IP and MQTT. The data is sent to the Neuron Cloud, where data is processed to be viewed by the user in the Neuron app.



Features
Collects continuous measurements from all Neuron sensors within range.
The main advantage over our cellular gateway is that data is sent immediately, without buffering.
Measurements are uploaded to the cloud via an Ethernet connection
Easily connect the gateway to the system with the QR-code on the gateway.


Typical Applications
Locations with no/limited cellular coverage
Underground facilities, tunnels, on board ships/ vessel etc.
