Neuron is an Industrial IoT (IIoT) connectivity server for modern big data and AI/ML technology to leverage the power of Industrial 4.0. It supports one-stop access to dozens of industrial protocols and converts them into MQTT protocol and realize the interconnection between IIoT platforms and various industrial devices.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The following are some important features of Neuron:
|
|
|
|
- Edge native application with real-time capability to leverage the low latency network of edge side.
|
|
- Loosely-coupled modularity [architecture design](https://neugates.io/docs/en/latest/introduction/architecture/architecture.html) for extending more functional services by pluggable modules.
|
|
- Support hot plugins that can update device and application modules during runtime.
|
|
- Support numerous protocols for industrial devices, including Modbus, OPCUA, Ethernet/IP, IEC104, BACnet and [more](https://neugates.io/docs/en/latest/configuration/south-devices/south-devices.html).
|
|
- Support simultaneous connection of a large number of industrial devices with different protocols.
|
|
- Combine with the rule engine function provided by [eKuiper](https://www.lfedge.org/projects/ekuiper) to quickly implement rule-based device control or AI/ML analytics.
|
|
- Support data access to industrial applications, such as MES or ERP, SCADA, historian and data analytics software via [SparkplugB](https://neugates.io/docs/en/latest/use-cases/use_cases.html#mqtt-sparkplugb-solution) solution.
|
|
- Has very low memory footprint, less than 10M, and CPU usage, can run on limited resource hardware like ARM, x86 and RISC-V.
|
|
- Support installation of native executable or deployed in containerized enviornment.
|
|
- Control industrial devices, and make changes to the parameters and data tags through [HTTP API](https://neugates.io/docs/en/latest/http-api/http-api.html) and [MQTT API](https://neugates.io/docs/en/latest/configuration/north-apps/mqtt/api.html) services.
|
|
- Highly integrated with other EMQ products, including [EMQX](https://www.emqx.com/en/products/emqx), [NanoMQ](https://nanomq.io/), [eKuiper](https://ekuiper.org/).
|
|
- The code of the core framework and Modbus, MQTT and eKuiper are licensed under open source LGPLv3. Commercial modules require a [EMQ License](https://neugates.io/docs/en/latest/installation/license-install/license-install.html) to run.
