Choose the right layer. Do not buy a whole plant when you need one data point.

Use this board to choose a starting point: an RS485 gateway for distributed meters, a Datalogger for the plant hub, Edge Runtime for software integration, or a tailored solution when the site itself drives the design.

DECISION MATRIX

Four starting points, one clear data path

The layers can work together. This is not an either/or choice: RS485 can act as a satellite for the Datalogger, while Local API opens the data to your system.

Hardware prices are the reference prices shown on the product pages; Edge Runtime and site-specific work require scope, protocols, point count, and handover requirements to be agreed.

CHOOSE BY THE SIGNAL IN FRONT OF YOU

Which problem is on your desk?

Start from the real system signal instead of a feature list. iNut keeps what already works and adds the missing layer.

REMOTE METER POINTS

Read Modbus without rebuilding the network

Use an RS485 gateway for meters, sensors, or small PLCs; push data to your internal MQTT and expand when needed.

MANY PLCS / SCADA

Bring the plant into one edge layer

Datalogger/iNut PC is the hub for multi-protocol data, SCADA, storage, alerts, and feedback control.

Open product page

APP / CRM / ERP

Open local data through an API

Choose Edge Runtime/Local API when software teams need a stable JSON contract and a path that does not depend on a closed cloud.

COMPLEX SITE CONTEXT

Let iNut shape the full architecture

When survey, design, installation, and handover must follow the site, share the diagram and operating criteria to close the scope.

Not sure which product to start with?

Share the diagram, point count, and existing protocols. iNut will return the layer to keep, the layer to add, and the survey scope.
