JENEsys Edge^® 534

with Monnit^®

Niagara 4 Programmable Logic Controller The JENEsys Edge^® 534 with Monnit^® , merges all the functionality of an IP programable Niagara controller with 34IO built in and a 900 MHz wireless transceiver (only available in the Americas), and an 868 MHz and a 433 MHZ operating frequencies. This open, multi-purpose controller combines the full features of Niagara 4 including Internet connectivity, web serving capability, integrated control, data logging, alarming, analytics, and trending. In addition, you can connect to an assortment of Monnit sensors through the on-board Monnit radio.

Reduce Engineering Time & Installation Costs

Purpose-built, Lynxspring’s JENEsys Edge 534 with Monnit delivers edge connectivity, data access and control for plant control, machine-to-machine and IoT applications that require smart edge technology. Licensing is well-suited to take Niagara 4 into smaller or mid-sized and price-sensitive applications. Taking Niagara 4 to the edge with real-time control—the JENEsys Edge 534 with Monnit utilizes the same familiar Niagara ProBuilder/Niagara Workbench software, Niagara 4 programming tools and Fox Protocol. JENEsys Edge products are available to any certified Niagara integrator or contractor.

Deliver the Reliability of Niagara 4 to the Edge

Protecting data during wireless transmission is vital. Monnit’s ALTA wireless products use Monnit’s new Encrypt-RF bank level security, featuring a 256-bit exchange to establish a global unique key, and an AES-128 CTR for all data messages. Security is maintained at all communication points from sensor to JENEsys Edge 534 with Monnit and back again. Monnit's standard wireless products use several features to help protect sensor data in transit. Our proprietary sensor protocol uses very low transmit power and requires specialized radio equipment to operate. Typical wireless devices that operate on non-proprietary communication protocols (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee) operate using different frequency bands so they can't be used to eavesdrop on the radio communications from the Monnit family of sensors. In addition, we use a robust packet tampering evaluation routine to ensure that traffic wasn't altered between the sensors and the gateways. This enables us to check for well-formed data packets that only originated from Monnit enabled devices. To further protect data, we have algorithms that protect against spoofing and re-transmission of wireless data packets. This is included with the best-in-class range and power consumption protocol developed for Monnit wireless sensor systems. In fact, the JENEsys Edge^® 534 with Monnit satisfies all IT Security testing requirements for the General Services Administration (GSA).
