2.4 AR500&AR530 Used as Industrial Gateways
As industrial gateways, AR500&AR530 integrate routing, switching, and data collection
functions, which facilitates installation and commissioning, and saves investments.
As shown in Figure 2-5, RouterA, RouterB, RouterC, and RouterD, are AR500s or AR530s.
They are used as industrial gateways and provide the following functions:
l Router: functions as the egress gateway and connects to the remote Head-End with data
collection functions through the Ethernet or 3G/GPRS.
l IoT gateway: RouterA, RouterB, RouterC, and RouterD function as concentrators and
connect to meters using RS485, ZigBee, RF, or PLC to implement remote management.
When the AR500 functions as the IoT gateway, electrical meters can connect to the
AR500 through RS485 only.
