Smart.Hub™ Industrial, Ethernet Interface
D6 Labs Spec Sheet Industrial HUB Drawing
General Description
The Smart.Hub™ Industrial is a rugged, versatile and reliable IOT gateway
device for use in outdoor applications. Smart.Hub™ products are
gateways used to move data from Whisker.Block
®
sensor blocks and end
user customized Whisker Engine based sensor nodes to the Whisker.io
®
cloud platform. The Smart.Hub™ Industrial has versatile power options
and can be configured with multiple power options including 8-24 VDC,
85-240 VAC and PoE.

Robustness and Reliability
The Smart.Hub™ Industrial can be configured with primary and secondary
connections to the cloud through ethernet or cellular. When two
connections are configured the hub will support automatic failover to the
secondary connection. If all configured connections are lost, the hub will
buffer messages in internal non-volatile memory until cloud connectivity
is restored. In the event of catastrophic failure, the data from the internal
SD card can be recovered using a Windows based Data Recovery App.
The Smart.Hub™ can be configured with battery back-up that will allow
the hub to continue normal operation for up to 24 hours. If power is lost
on hubs equipped with battery back-up, the hub will notify the
Whisker.io
®
cloud of the failure, allowing text and email alerts to be sent
to specified contacts.
Throughput
[The number of devices that can be supported by this hub varies with the
reporting rate of the connected devices., This is a single channel hub,
which ultimately determines its limitations; with a single channel, this
hub can process about 1,800 messages an hour., The following table
estimates device capacity for several different update rates.]

This hub supports two-way communications with field devices that
support the Whisker.io
®
protocol. For battery powered devices, the hub
will queue down-stream messages (commands) and send them to the
device when it reports in at its sampling interval; therefore, the
command latency is equivalent to the update rate of the device. For line
powered devices, commands are sent immediately, with a latency of less
than 1 second.
Whisker.io
®
Services
Storage
Devices that are configured with the storage
service will persist their historic data in the
Whisker.io
®
cloud, making it available for
visualization and analysis using our Whisker.io
®
Portal web-based software.
Alerting
Rules based alerting allows a text or email to be
sent when the specified condition is met and
when it clears.
Dashboard
Secure, user friendly dashboard with
visualization through gauges, graphs, sensor
signal strength and fuel gauges.
Protocols
The Whisker.io
®
Smart.Hub™ provides several
protocols to support IIoT applications: Modbus
TCP for PLC/HMI, SparkPlugB for Ignition, and
MQTT for IoT.
