Gateway BY000002 – The Central Platform for Industrial Data Acquisition and Energy Management

The Gateway BY000002 serves as a powerful interface between the field level and the digital data world. It enables the acquisition, processing, and visualization of machine, process, and energy data, thereby laying the foundation for greater transparency, efficiency, and sustainability in industrial applications.

Thanks to support for common industrial communication protocols such as OPC UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, and RS485, both existing systems and modern sensor technology can be integrated easily and reliably. Different data sources are consolidated straight and made available to higher-level systems, databases, or cloud applications.

A particular focus is on the collection and analysis of energy data. Electricity, gas, water, and compressed air consumption can be recorded, analyzed, and visualized. This provides companies with a robust data foundation for identifying savings potential, reducing energy costs, and achieving sustainability and CO₂ reduction goals.

The gateway processes data directly on-site. Measured values can be filtered, aggregated, and preprocessed before being transmitted to higher-level systems. This reduces data volumes and shortens reaction times. Critical status conditions or threshold violations can be recognized early and reported automatically, thereby reducing unplanned downtime and increasing plant availability.

Integration into existing SCADA, MES, or ERP systems is quick and straightforward. Using the pre-installed Grafana visualization tool, custom dashboards can be created to clearly display and analyze production and energy data. For small and medium-sized applications, the gateway thus offers a powerful, all-in-one solution for data acquisition and visualization.

Flexible Platform Thanks to Application-Specific Function Modules

The BY000002 gateway is much more than just a communication gateway. Thanks to various function modules, the platform can be flexibly adapted to different applications and scales with the project’s requirements. This results in a scalable solution for data acquisition, energy management, condition monitoring, and Industry 4.0 applications.

Available function modules:

AB000008 – Energy measurement for recording and analyzing electricity consumption

AB000009 – Additional digital and analog inputs and outputs for integrating further signals, sensors, and actuators

AB000010 – Vibration measurement for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance applications

VY000010 – IO link master for integrating modern IO-Link sensors and actuators, including diagnostic and process data

Thanks to its modular open-ended nature, the BY000002 gateway can be used for both simple data acquisition tasks and more complex monitoring and energy management solutions. Companies benefit from a future-proof platform that can be adapted to new requirements at any time.

Added Value Through IPF’s System Expertise

However, the real added value comes not only from the gateway itself, but also from IPF’s comprehensive support in implementing complete data acquisition and energy management solutions.

As a specialist in industrial sensor technology, IPF assists with the selection of suitable sensors, measuring instruments, and communication components. Customers receive a turnkey solution tailored to their application—from sensor technology and data acquisition to visualization—all via a single source.

A dedicated contact person accompanies projects from planning via start-up to running operation. For larger projects, experienced partner companies are available to handle the professional installation and start-up of the hardware directly on-site.

In addition, IPF offers access to powerful energy management and analytics solutions from a specialized software partner. While the BY000002 gateway is ideally suited for small to medium-sized applications, these platforms enable the centralized collection, analysis, and visualization of large volumes of data via multiple locations, production areas, or organizational structures. This allows even complex Industry 4.0 and energy management projects to be implemented efficiently.

Through the combination of gateway technology, sensor expertise, installation services, and powerful software support, customers receive a future-proof, comprehensive solution that goes via the mere provision of a single product.
