Product Description

Gateway

THE SPL-EDGE-AB-C-D-XXX GATEWAY CONTAINS NO USER-SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS. ANY ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS DEVICE, USE FOR OTHER THAN ITS INTENDED PURPOSE, OR SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY DAMAGE THIS DEVICE LEADING TO UNRELIABLE OPERATION AND DECREASED PROTECTION FOR THE DEVICE BEING MONITORED.

Connections

The Gateway utilizes a single-piece antenna that has the capability of WiFi/BT, LTE and GPS communication.
For the details on antenna cable assembly, see section 2. In addition, the gateway provides M.2 slots for feature extensibility which can include other optional wireless communications.
For models with cellular service, a universal SIM card has been installed in the gateway. The SIM card has been pre-configured with the ability to communicate with cellular providers in the intended country of use.
The Gateway is produced in several models to accommodate the needs of different customers, based on the country in which the gateway will be used and also on other customer requirements. Some models are configured to upload data via a cellular network with the possibility to use an Ethernet-based local network connection instead. Other models are restricted to an Ethernet connection and do not have cellular service configured at all.
4G LTE Antenna – The Gateway board has two SMA female connectors to connect the 4G LTE antennas. (See section 2.1 for the location of SMA jacks on PCB).
WiFi Antenna – The Gateway board has one SMA female jack which is used to connect WiFi/BT antenna.
(See section 2.1 for the location of WiFi/BT SMA jack)
GPS Antenna – The Gateway board has one SMA female jack which is used to connect GPS antenna.
(See section 2.1 for the location of GPS SMA jack)
USB – The Gateway board has the provision of 1 USB port. (See section 2.1 for the location of the USB port.)
Power Input – Power is applied via the integral power cable. NOTE: EQUIPMENT SHALL BE POWERED BY AN APPROVED SELV LPS POWER SOURCE. Refer to Gateway Datasheet for details.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF OR THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
The gateway enclosure comes with the option to connect to a local Ethernet. For models not intended for use with a cellular network, this Ethernet connection must be connected to a local network. For models intended for use with a cellular network, it is possible to configure this Ethernet connection to be used as the primary uplink and the cellular network as a backup. The Ethernet cable is not part of the standard accessories provided by Windrock. Contact Windrock and ask for Gateway Installation Support to arrange such a connection.

Indicators

There are various LED indicators located on the Gateway PCB inside the Metal Enclosure, refer to Table 1-2 to understand its functions and figure 1-2 for their locations.

Table 2-1, Gateway Part Connections

Table 2-2, Gateway Port Connections

Gateway Antennae

The Cellular models of the Gateway use a single-piece antenna that has the capability of WiFi/BT, LTE, and GPS as shown in Figure 2-1. It contains Omni- directional antennae and the radiation patterns are stable across all major cellular (2G/3G/4G) bands. The individual antennae connect by using SMA (M) connectors.

Functional descriptions

The Gateway is a 24Vdc powered device that collects data either wirelessly or wired (using IEEE 802.3 standard) from field devices. Some of the wireless protocols are on separate M.2 cards that need to be connected to the gateway in order to be used. Once data is collected, the gateway organizes and processes the data. It then transmits the information to a cloud computing service. The gateway may transmit in two ways, the first way is through commercial cellular networks. The second way is using wired IEEE 802.3.

Product Maintenance

The Windrock Gateway contains no user-serviceable parts and requires no routine maintenance. Repair and support are provided by Windrock Inc. only. Firmware and software updates are available periodically. The Gateway automatically installs updates as needed. The use of cleaning chemicals is not recommended. Dust and dirt may be removed with a soft cloth.
PRESSURE WASH WARNING. The use of harsh cleaning chemicals, solvents, and degreasers may impair the functionality of the system. When pressure washing, be cautious on length of time and intensity of spray-on all parts of the system, including sensors and cabling. If parts of a Gateway system were removed to perform cleaning and/or maintenance, contact Windrock Product Support at 865-330-1100 and ask for Gateway Installation Support to verify operation.
