Metron5 IIoT Sensor Gateway
Designed for simplicity and reliability, Metron5 connects with almost any sensor and securely transmits data to the cloud via mobile networks. It allows users to monitor and manage remote assets in near-real time. Raw data is delivered to PowTechnology’s MetronView platform. Users are able to log in to MetronView to see live readings, trends and historical information. This information can be analysed, interpreted and used to initiate automations and send alarms. Key Features Of Metron5 -Compatible with thousands of sensors -4 analogue inputs (4–20 mA / 0–10 V) and digital inputs (on/off) -Optional expansion for pulse counting and multiplexed digital inputs -Easy setup, testing and retrofit installation -Self-contained and weatherproof design -Flexible power options: solar, battery or external supply -Integral display for local readings, set-up, test and diagnostics -User-defined alerts and notifications -Proven reliability across thousands of global installations -Simple, global data pricing covering SIM and cloud -Easily badge-labelled for OEM or partner use Benefits Of The Metron5 Sensor Gateway -Designed as part of our end-to-end telemetry solutions, Metron5 provides a range of benefits for industrial monitoring and IIoT applications: -Flexible - Operates without mains power, including solar powered options, for remote or off-grid locations -Scalable - Start with one system and expand to an international network of connected assets -Global - Access data and configure devices from anywhere in the world via the secure MetronView cloud platform -Versatile - Connects to virtually any sensor type, including those in abrasive environments, simplifying integration across sites -Robust - Weatherproof and self-contained, Metron5 is proven in extreme temperatures (-20 to +65°C) and harsh environments -Future-proof - Supports 4G, Cat-M1, NB-IoT and is 5G-ready for long-term deployment

MetronM Modbus IIoT Gateway
MetronM is PowTechnology's multi-purpose IIoT gateway delivering rich, reliable, digital data via RS485 Modbus RTU from PLCs, meters, HMIs, smart sensors, drives and machines. It acts as a master, using RS485 Modbus RTU to collect data from a broad range of slaves, including PLCs, meters, HMIs, smart sensors, drives and machines. This rich, reliable, digital data is collected and transmitted via mobile phone networks to PowTechnology’s versatile MetronView platform, creating alerts and actionable insights to improve productivity, sustainability, compliance, safety and other key performance areas. Data can be collected via a simple API for further processing in enterprise ERP and application-specific software for production, maintenance, purchasing and logistics planning. KEY FACTS • RS485 Modbus RTU interface able to poll 32 slots/slaves, each for 8 registers and apply scaling & offsets • 4 digital/pulse inputs (volt-free contact). >50mS pulse width (negative edge triggered) • 2 digital outputs • Supplied with a complete data package including versatile web portal • Global, multi-network sim card 4G (LTE-M & NB1) & 2G connectivity (5G enabled). Advanced retry and network agile algorithms • Data transmission configurable from 5 minutes to 24 hours • 5 LEDs for local feedback: inputs, outputs & communications • Force transmit via recessed pushbutton for easy testing • Remotely programmable • USB interface for diagnostics • DIN rail mount • 5Vdc powered (3A max)

MetronView IIoT Platform
MetronView is PowTechnology’s ‘universal’ IIoT platform – agile and responsive, collecting data from a vast array of sensors, machines and other devices, via a powerful suite of IIoT building blocks, which integrate GSM/GPRS, Sigfox, LoRa, LoRaWAN, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, CAN, MODBUS & IO-Link. It securely records current and historic data via customisable dashboards, sends alarms, remotely manages and controls devices and performs mathematical and logical operations, such as anomaly detection. -Data from sensors and other assets collected reliably from proprietary and third-party telemetry devices, RTUs, sensor gateways, IIoT routers and other software systems. -View data – anywhere, anytime – on graphs, tables or maps – with customisable views. -View from any browser, on any device – computer, tablet, smartphone. -Alarms sent to unlimited users, with hierarchical permissions. Can be shown on dashboard, with acknowledgement and history functions. -Perform calculations and logical operations on data, set up by PowTechnology or customers may be empowered via a low-code development area. -Customisable with customer livery and logo. -Remotely configure PowTechnology’s Metron telemetry devices. -API enables data integration to other software systems.* -PowTechnology are ISO27001 accredited. *An interoperable API allows integration to software like Navision, SAP, SCADA and platforms like IBM Watson, Microsoft Azure, AWS and Miimetiq. It also allows PowTechnology and their customers to develop application specific portals, such as our MetronTMS bespoke software for bulk delivery and collection applications.
