Acrel Smart Gateways are designed to connect field devices with cloud platforms, enabling secure data acquisition, protocol conversion, and edge computing for energy IoT. They collect data from meters, sensors, protection relays, and environmental devices via Modbus, DL/T 645, IEC 61850, and other protocols, then transmit it reliably to monitoring and management systems. Ideal for substations, factories, buildings, charging stations, and distributed sites, they simplify system integration, support remote diagnostics, and provide the foundation for scalable, intelligent energy management.
