LP304
USER MANUAL 
System overview
The LP304 is a powerful industrial IoT Gateway that enables master systems to
control equipment on the production shop floor.
Binary has a broad range of products that are used to build efficient support
systems for Lean Manufacturing. The gateway acts as a bridge between a master
system and the different hardware modules on the shop floor. Master systems
may connect to the LP304 gateway using:
ETHERNET
CAN
The gateway has a built-in MQTT broker to support very efficient and
lightweight message exchanges between devices. The system can communicate via
modern protocols such as REST and MQTT to control all kinds of I/O devices
including all Binar CAN products such as Pick to Light, BiDisp3 LED Displays,
CAN Buttons and Binar Wireless
System slaves.
As an option, it may be connected as a slave in a Binar system with an LP305
Gateway.
Binar Wireless System
The LP304 is equipped with the new Binar Wireless System that adds wireless
capability to low-energy I/O points like Andon buttons, smart tools, and
more.

| PART NO | DESCRIPTION | WHEN TO USE |
|---|---|---|
| 51326 | Power Supply LP-PW14 24VDC 4Amp | To supply CAN bus single with power. |
| 35423 | Binar Wireless antenna | When wireless connection to BWS (Binar Wireless |
System) is required.

4- Mechanical dimensions and mounting
LP304 comes with mounting brackets attached and mounting is done by means of
four screws, size M5 to M6 (see dimensions below).
Mounting is preferably done in the line of sight of the connected tool, with
the display at least at the operator’s eye level, preferably a bit higher. DO
NOT place LP304 in a metal enclosure as that would block the wireless
communication.
