[Free White Paper] Technology Column - Focusing on Sensor Interfaces! No More Confusion in Choosing IoT Gateways (Part 2 of the Sensor and IoT Devices Series)

コンテック

To correctly connect sensors and IoT devices, it is essential to first focus on the sensor's interface. In the second installment of our explanatory column on "Sensors" and "IoT Devices," we will discuss how to select IoT devices while paying attention to the sensor's interface. We will deliver a three-part series of explanatory columns focusing on "Sensors" and "IoT Devices." We hope you find it useful for building your IoT systems. 【Table of Contents】 - What is an IoT Gateway? - The Role and Interface of IoT Gateways - Sensors that indicate ON/OFF (Digital Output) - Sensors where the number of ON/OFF signals has significance (Counters) - Sensors that indicate changes in physical quantities or the environment (Analog Output) - Sensors that convert data and send it out as communication (Communication Interface) - General-purpose products specialized in IoT gateway functions developed by Contec
