1.1.3. GWEN
1.1.3.1. Introduction
The GateWay/EdgeNode (GWEN) is a device used as interface between sensors & actuators on one side and a communication network on the other side. Sensors and actuators can be connected through wired and wireless interfaces. The interface with a network can also be wired or wireless. Available wired interfaces are: Ethernet, RS232/485, CAN & CAN FD, USB2 and USB3 Available wireless interfaces are: WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G/4G/5G. In addition an UWB interfaces is available for localisation purposes. The GWEN also contains compute power to be able to operate AI algorithms. Docker is used as container runtime on top of Linux as OS.
1.1.3.2. Features
Available wired interfaces are: - Ethernet, - RS232/485, - CAN & CAN FD, - USB2 and - USB3.
Available wireless interfaces are: - WiFi, - Bluetooth and 3G/4G/5G.
SMARC2.1 interface for use of a System On Module (SOM) which implements the compute power.
Yocto based Linux is used as OS.
Here is also the block schemantic diagram of the GWEN device:
1.1.3.3. Place in architecture
The fall arrest device is part of the device and edge plane and more specifacially the place of the device in the ASSIST-IoT architecture can be viewed in the following picture:
1.1.3.4. User guide
In case of making use of the ASSIST-IoT’s GWEN as edge node, 12V± 15% power supply is required. An adapter from 230V is provided with it to generate the needed voltage.
1.1.3.5. Prerequisites
Will be determined after the release of the enabler.
1.1.3.6. Installation
The GWEN needs to be mounted at a fixed point inside a buidling or car.
1.1.3.7. Configuration options
Will be determined after the release of the enabler.
1.1.3.8. Developer guide
Will be determined after the release of the enabler.
1.1.3.9. Version control and release
Will be determined after the release of the enabler.
1.1.3.10. License
Will be determined after the release of the enabler.
1.1.3.11. Notice(dependencies)
Will be determined after the release of the enabler.
