C-Gate IoT Connector
First connection to C-Gate IoT Connector
The C-Gate IoT Connector is an edge gateway in the form of an industrial PC that is installed near the system or in the welding device. It serves as a connection between the device and IoT Hub.
Direct connection
- Connect the IoT Connector to your PC/laptop via Ethernet cable and make sure that it does not use a static IP address. The corresponding connection options are shown in figures 1 and 2.
-
Call up the address of the IoT Connectors in the web browser. This consists of http:// and the IP address designated on the label as ETH1 (see figure 1 and 2).
Example: http://169.254.128.76 - Log in with the user data printed on the label.
- Configure the network settings according to your requirements and restart the C-Gate IoT Connector .
Figure 1: Connect the Ethernet cable to the PC coupling on the control cabinet or directly to the IoT Connector inside the control cabinet with connection/port 1 (ETH1). The label is located on the IoT Connector.
Connection via the company network
Precondition: DHCP server is active in the company network.- Read the MAC address on the label and enter it into your DHCP server (see figure 1 and 2).
- Connect the IoT Connector to your network via Ethernet cable. The corresponding connection options are shown in figures 1 and 2.
-
Call up the address of the IoT Connectorin the web browser. This consists of http:// and the IP address assigned in the company network.
Example: http://192.168.8.14 - Log in with the user data printed on the label.
- Configure the network settings according to your requirements and restart the C-Gate IoT Connector .
Figure 2: Connect the Ethernet cable to the connector/port X77 on the back of the QINEO. The label is located below the connection.
Standard configuration of the C-Gate IoT Connector s on delivery
- Port 1 (ETH1): DHCP and substitute IP address
- Port 2 (ETH2): 192.168.1.100/24
Connection with the C-Gate IoT Hub
Prerequisite: C-Gate IoT Hub is installed and available in the network.
- Configure the IoT Hub address on the IoT Connector and restart the IoT Connector.
- Make sure that the connected units are set up and - if started - displayed as online.
- Check on the web interface of the IoT Hub in the device view whether the connected devices are set up and - if started - displayed as online. If not, restart the IoT Hub.
