NEO-Edge40 Overview
The KORLINX NEO-Edge40 connects wireless sensors, industrial equipment, and field I/O to local or remote systems. It combines data collection, edge processing, communications, and output control on one platform.
Development status: This documentation describes the NEO-Edge40 Rev. 1.0 platform. Planned features and values that still require hardware or certification review are identified on the Hardware page. Confirm final specifications before designing a production system.
At a glance
| Need | NEO-Edge40 capability |
|---|---|
| Collect wireless sensor data | BLE and Zigbee through the KORLINX NX40 module |
| Connect industrial equipment | Ethernet, RS-485, and CAN |
| Read field signals | Analog and opto-isolated digital inputs |
| Control field equipment | Relay, DC, analog, and GPIO outputs |
| Connect a remote site | Optional LTE-M / NB-IoT expansion |
| Process data locally | Filtering, conversion, status evaluation, alarms, protocol conversion, and control logic |
| Check status on site | Planned front LCD for values, communications, alarms, and output states |
How it works
NEO-Edge40 sits between field devices and an upper-level system such as a PC, local server, cloud platform, or industrial controller.
- Collect: Receive data from BLE or Zigbee devices, wired equipment, and analog or digital inputs.
- Process: Filter and convert values, evaluate status, apply alarm rules, or run local control logic.
- Connect or control: Send data upstream through Ethernet, cellular, RS-485, or CAN, and operate field outputs when required.
