33. FAQ
1. Bay Trail v.s. Quark: BYT is higher cost
2. IOT STUDIO Gateway Builder embedded
3. Modbus protocol ready : Not a platform only, we are
application ready…
4. Alternative Yocto besides MI: for lower and more open
development option
5. Unique features like OTA, Data QOS, Multiple open
cloud ready
6. Pre-certified WSN Sensors
7. Flexible customization for WSN like Zigbee, LoRa,
EnOcean....

38. Intelligent Gateway for HART Flow sensor
Desired Features
• Supports for point to point or multi-dropped loops
• Windows tools for simple setup and management
• Clip-on DIN rail mounting
• Compact size
• Low power
• Supports MQTT
• SSL secure connections
• Device health monitoring
• Data logging and archiving
• SMS/Email alerts and reporting
• Remote access and configuration
• Supports all mandatory and common practice HART commands
• Supports device specific HART commands
• Can be configured as primary or secondary master
Intelligent
gateway
Benefits:
• Provide continuous fault monitoring of instruments
• Provide asset management of instruments that are
widely scattered in situ in the field
• Provide calibration to meter measurement inaccuracy
caused by analog to digital conversion into computer
• Provide remote access of process information such as
flow, temperature, pressure and composition remotely
e.g., flue gas oxygen (O2) usually mounted in hot,
inaccessible locations where instrument diagnostics are
difficult to perform
• Inventory management applications e.g tank farms
