The IoT Gateway establishes a common interface between utility applications and Command Center using the Landis+Gyr Integration Suite. This creates a secure and integrated environment for managing message traffic. The IoT Gateway enables the flow of messages (both solicited and unsolicited) between RTUs/IEDs and their SCADA master stations using DNP3 over TCP/IP.
The IoT Gateway contains a mapping of DNP3 and LumenIQ station addresses to radio addresses in the communications network. This allows packets from the master stations to be routed to the correct devices and vice-versa. The Landis+Gyr network platform provides network-layer security and acts as a link-layer packet router for DNP3 and LumenIQ packets. This mapping capability can be applied to other protocols, as well.
