Overview
I’m excited to announce a new self-paced learning on our Learning Portal introducing the Protocol Gateway.
The Protocol Gaterway is based on the Device Gateway by Takebishi, which we were reselling and have rebranded for simplicity and flexibility. It enables seamless seamless data access through 300+ protocol adapters, translates key OT protocols such as Modbus, BACnet, and DNP3 and deploys into directly to thin-edge.io devices - running in a lightweight Docker container with no special hardware requirements.
Why This Course Matters
Industrial environments are built on a wide variety of machines, controllers, and legacy systems - each speaking their own protocol. Bridging the gap between OT (Operational Technology) and modern IoT platforms like Cumulocity is one of the most critical challenges in industrial digitalization.
The Protocol Gateway addresses exactly this challenge. Whether you’re working on:
- Industrial Integrations
- Edge computing deployments
- OT/IT connectivity
This course gives you the knowledge to understand and leverage the Protocol Gateway effectively.
Course Overview
This focused 50-minutes course is designed to take your from a high-level understanding all the way through to a hands-on technical demonstration. It is structured to be accessible for both business-oriented and technically-focused audiences, making it a good resource for solution architects. engineers, and anyone involved in industrial IoT projects.
