π Overview
ETAbridge is Cognetaβs modular field communication and integration platform engineered to connect distributed energy systems, substations, and plant devices to centralized control rooms and cloud platforms.
It combines rugged RTUs, intelligent gateways, managed switches, and hybrid communication (wired + wireless) into a single interoperable layer β enabling real-time telemetry, command control, and protocol translation across complex SCADA and EMS ecosystems.
Whether you’re operating a remote solar farm, a substation, or a hybrid microgrid, ETAbridge ensures secure, redundant, and protocol-aware connectivity across devices, vendors, and topologies.
π§° Core Components
RTUs & Edge Gateways
- Acquire data from field instruments and IEDs
- Perform edge-level logic (e.g., signal conditioning, filtering, pre-processing)
- Relay real-time telemetry to SCADA/EMS over IEC 104, MQTT, or Modbus
Managed Industrial Switches
- DIN-rail mountable L2/L3 switches for substations and plants
- VLAN tagging, port mirroring, QoS for data prioritization
- RSTP/MSTP redundancy for zero-fault ring architectures
Wireless Data Hubs
- LoRa, LTE/4G/5G, and Wi-Fi options for hard-to-wire or mobile sites
- Multi-SIM redundancy with fallback support
- Secure tunnel creation using OpenVPN/IPsec
π Protocol Translation & Interfacing
ETAbridge enables protocol bridging across legacy and modern systems:
From | To |
Modbus RTU/TCP | MQTT / IEC 104 / OPC UA |
DLMS | HTTPS/MQTT for energy APIs |
IEC 61850 | JSON or DNP3 over WAN |
Serial (RS-232/485) | Ethernet / Cellular |
π Built for Field Reliability
- Wide operating temperature (-40Β°C to +75Β°C)
- Surge protection and conformal coated PCBs
- DIN rail or pole-mount options
- Watchdog timers, auto-reboot, and store-forward logic
π§ Flexible Topologies
