BL101 Industrial IoT Gateway: Bridge Your Modbus Devices to the Cloud in Minutes

The BL101 is a purpose-built industrial IoT gateway that converts Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP to MQTT. It's powered by an ARM 300 MHz processor running a stable Linux OS, with 128 MB RAM and 64 MB flash storage. Plug it in, configure it, and your legacy devices are suddenly cloud-native.
BL101 Modbus to MQTT gateway
Case Details

Your PLCs, sensors, and meters speak Modbus. Your cloud platforms — AWS IoT, ThingsBoard, Ignition SCADA — speak MQTT. Getting them to talk to each other shouldn't require a team of software engineers.

Solution

The BL101 is a purpose-built industrial IoT gateway that converts Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP to MQTT. It's powered by an ARM 300 MHz processor running a stable Linux OS, with 128 MB RAM and 64 MB flash storage. Plug it in, configure it, and your legacy devices are suddenly cloud-native.

Why It Works for You

  • Cloud-ready out of the box: Native drivers for AWS IoT Core, ThingsBoard, and Ignition SCADA mean zero scripting. Just configuration. It also supports AlibabaIoT, and BLIIOT Cloud.
  • Connectivity that never quits: Dual Ethernet ports (WAN + LAN), optional 4G cellular, and optional WiFi with automatic failover. Wired connection drops? The gateway switches to 4G instantly. Your data keeps flowing.
  • Built for the real world: Wide DC 9–36V input with reverse-polarity protection. Operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C. EMC Level 3 protection against ESD, EFT, and surges. This isn't a lab toy — it's built for the factory floor.
  • Secure by design: TLS/SSL encryption, X.509 certificates, OpenVPN, and WPA2 keep your industrial data safe from prying eyes.
  • Remote management saves you money: Full remote configuration and over-the-air firmware updates. No more expensive site visits just to tweak a setting or push an update.
  • Flexible for any scale: Choose the 2-port model (BL101) for up to 10 devices and 512 data points, or the 6-port model (BL101P) for up to 50 devices and 4,000 data points. Optional 4G, WiFi, and GPS modules available across all models.

System integrators are deploying BL101 gateways across smart factories, energy management systems, remote equipment monitoring, building automation, and even agricultural operations. In one bakery case study, the gateway enabled real-time Modbus data collection from ovens and mixers, cutting energy consumption by 10-30%.

The BL101 turns your Modbus devices into IoT assets - without ripping out your existing infrastructure. It's secure, reliable, and priced to scale.
