Edge gateways that bridge old to new — protocols, made simple.

TITAN IoT supplies industrial edge gateways that translate legacy protocols — Modbus, RS232/485, BACnet, serial, dry contacts — into modern cloud-ready data. Run Docker containers, process at the edge, integrate with SCADA, ERP and bespoke platforms. Pre-configured in Galway, supported across Ireland, the UK and Europe via Vadnet.

The Translation Problem

From plant floor to cloud, in one box.

Most industrial sites are a mix of legacy PLCs, meters and sensors talking to each other on industrial protocols — and a modern cloud or SCADA system that doesn’t speak those protocols. The edge gateway is the translator.

TITAN Edge Gateway

Translate · Process · Forward

Reads industrial protocols, runs containerised logic at the edge, normalises payloads, forwards to cloud over 4G/5G or Ethernet.

What an Edge Gateway Does

Five jobs in one industrial-grade box.

An edge gateway isn’t just a converter — it’s a small Linux computer on a DIN rail. TITAN’s range handles protocol translation, on-device processing, secure backhaul, remote management and field-level control through a single device.

1

Protocol Translation

Reads from Modbus RTU/TCP, serial devices, dry contacts, pulse meters and analog 4-20mA inputs. Normalises everything into JSON or your chosen format before sending it onwards.

2

Edge Compute & Docker

Run containerised applications directly on the gateway — Python data processors, Node-RED flows, your own custom logic. The Robustel EG/LG range runs full Debian 11 with Docker built in.

3

Secure Cloud Backhaul

4G/5G cellular or Ethernet WAN with auto-failover, VPN tunnelling and TLS-encrypted upload to MQTT brokers, REST endpoints, Azure IoT Hub or AWS IoT.

4

Remote Management & Updates

Robustel RCMS or HW Group SensDesk for fleet visibility, over-the-air firmware and configuration updates, container deployment and remote CLI access — at no extra cost on Robustel devices.

5

Field-Level Control

Digital outputs and relay drivers let the gateway act on what it sees — switch a pump, open a valve, trigger an alarm, reset a contactor — driven by edge logic or remote command from your platform.

Why Through TITAN

What you get when TITAN configures your edge.

Edge gateways have a steep on-boarding curve — Linux administration, Docker, protocol mapping, cloud integration. TITAN absorbs that complexity so your project starts with a working gateway, not a bare Linux device.

  • Pre-Built Protocol MapsModbus register maps, BACnet object lists, serial parsers — built and tested in Galway against your end-device documentation before dispatch.
  • Container Pre-LoadedIf you need Node-RED, Python processors or a specific Docker image, it’s loaded and tested on the gateway before you receive it.
  • Cloud Pre-ConnectedMQTT broker credentials, certificates, REST endpoints — all configured before shipping. The gateway shows up in your cloud platform on first power-up.
  • Integration EngineeringIf your platform has a custom protocol or unusual integration, TITAN’s engineers will write and test the bridge before shipping.
  • Irish & European SupportDirect phone and email to Galway. Ireland, UK and EU project support through the Vadnet distributor alliance.
  • 25 Years In The MarketEdge gateway deployments across Irish manufacturing, utilities, data centres and energy. Ask us about your protocol stack.
How It Works

From brief to live integration in four steps.

TITAN’s process for every Control It project. From a single protocol conversion to a multi-site rollout integrating thousands of legacy devices.

01

We Listen

You tell us the end-devices, the protocols, the data points that matter, and the cloud or platform you need it in. We translate that into a gateway spec, protocol map and integration plan.

02

We Design

Gateway selection (Robustel EG vs LG vs HW Group), protocol map (Modbus registers, BACnet objects, serial parsers), edge processing (Docker container, Node-RED flow, custom logic), cloud connection (MQTT, REST, OPC-UA).

03

We Configure & Ship

Every gateway pre-built in Galway with your protocol maps, containers and cloud credentials. Tested against bench equivalents of your end-devices where possible. Ireland next working day, UK and EU via tracked courier.

04

We Support

Direct phone and email to the engineer who built your gateway. Container updates, protocol map adjustments, cloud changes, additional integrations — we stay with the deployment for its life.

Frequently Asked

Control It — common questions.

What’s the difference between Robustel EG5100 and LG5100?

EG5100 is the cellular edge gateway — 4G, Debian, Docker, RS232/485, DI/DO. Use it where you don’t need LoRaWAN. LG5100 adds an 8-channel LoRaWAN concentrator and ChirpStack support — use it where you also need to be a LoRaWAN network server on-site. Both run the same RobustOS Pro Debian environment, so containers and code are portable between them.

Can I run my own code on these gateways?

Yes — the Robustel EG/LG range runs full Debian 11 with Docker. You can SSH in, run Python, Node.js, Java, C, deploy Docker containers, schedule cron jobs. There’s a 6GB flash and 256MB RAM partition available for SDK use. TITAN can pre-load your container or code before dispatch so you receive a working gateway, not a bare Linux box.

What if my PLC uses an unusual protocol?

For mainstream protocols (Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet IP, M-Bus, serial ASCII) we have proven mappings. For vendor-specific protocols (Siemens S7, Allen-Bradley DF1, Profibus DP) we use protocol-specific gateways or write a translation layer in the container. Tell us your end-device make, model and protocol — we’ll confirm compatibility or quote the integration work.

Which cloud platforms do these gateways integrate with?

The Robustel and HW Group platforms ship with native MQTT, MQTT-S, HTTP(S) REST, and Modbus TCP server output. From there they integrate with Azure IoT Hub, AWS IoT, Google Cloud IoT, ThingsBoard, Node-RED, custom MQTT brokers and any HTTP REST endpoint. For OPC-UA, we typically run an OPC-UA bridge container on the EG5100. TITAN configures the integration to your specific cloud before shipping.

How does TITAN handle gateway lifecycle and security?

RCMS (free with Robustel) gives you fleet-wide OTA firmware updates, container redeployment, config rollback and remote CLI access. We follow each manufacturer’s CVE disclosures — when a security patch comes out, we push it to your fleet through RCMS rather than expecting your team to track upstream changes. Long-term support is part of the relationship, not a separate contract.

What’s the delivery lead time?

Stock gateways pre-configured in Galway: next working day across Ireland, two to three days for UK and EU. Custom integration projects (protocol mapping, container builds, cloud setup) typically add one to two weeks for engineering and testing. We’ll quote a specific lead-time commitment with every project.
