Module List
LF Edge eKuiper
LF Edge eKuiper is lightweight IoT edge analytics, streaming processing open source software. When eKuiper is integrated into Neuron, Neuron can implement a business logical engine. Users can develop business logic, device control or data filtering by writing SQL statement in eKuiper module.
Edge X Foundry
EdgeX Foundry is an open source, neutral, flexible, and interoperable network edge software platform that can interact with the physical world of devices, sensors, actuators, and other Internet of Things objects. Whole Neuron 2.0 is integrated into the architecture of Edge X Foundry as a single microservice.
SparkplugB
Sparkplug is an extended public protocol based on the MQTT protocol designed for industrial IoT, especially industrial 4.0 distributed applications. Neuron will pack the collected data into Sparkplug specification messages and deliver them to Sparkplug specification topic.
Modbus
Modbus devices use master-slave (client-server) communication model, and only one device (master/client) can initiate a query. Neuron supports the following 3 Modbus protocols.
- Modbus RTU: RS485
- Modbus RTU over TCP: Ethernet
- Modbus TCP: Ethernet
OPC
OPC is an interoperability standard for safe and reliable data exchange in the field of industrial automation. OPC is based on client/server technology. Currently Neuron only supports OPCUAs client communication protocol.
BACnet
BACnet is a data communication protocol for building automation and control networks. BACnet is an international (ISO) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for interoperability between cooperative buildings.
SNMP
SNMP is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite and is used to manage and monitor network elements. Most network elements come with SNMP agents that must be enabled and configured to communicate with network monitoring tools or network management systems (NMS).
DLT645
DL/T645 multi-functional energy meter communication protocol is a Chinese standard to unify and standardize the physical connection and protocol when multi-functional energy meter and data terminal devices exchange data, there are two versions, DL/T645-97 and DL/T645-07 respectively.
DNP 3.0
DNP3 (Distributed Network Protocol) was developed to create a protocol for standardization by vendors of power grid SCADA. DNP3 is commonly used in North American electric and water utilities for communication between SCADA masters and substations such as remote terminal units (RTUs).
IEC 60870
IEC 60870-5-104 supports communication between the control station and the substation through a standard TCP/IP network. The TCP protocol is used for connection secure data transmission. The standard interoperability list ensures the interoperability between devices from different vendors.
