EDC Development Kit
What Do I Need to Provide?
• Internet access for Helios (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Cellular)
• PC with Internet access
• VGA display and USB keyboard
What is the Everyware Cloud?
• The EDC Development Kit leverages Eurotech's
Helios mobile gateway running the Denali routing
application, plus the power of ESF, to provide a
complete, cloud-ready development platform.
• The development kit is designed to provide you with a
quick and easy start to publishing device data to the
Everyware Cloud.
• Eurotech's Everyware Cloud is a cloud-based
architecture that quickly connects devices to build and
maintain an end-to-end M2M application. With the
Everyware Cloud, you can publish device and sensor
data, enable automatic notifications and perform
actions on real-time data using Rules, and use REST
APIs to query the stored data into your back-end
applications.
How Does the Development Kit Work?
• EDC Demonstration Board connects switches,
controls, and LEDs to the PLC.
• Helios reads from and writes to the PLC using a serial
connection.
• ESF/Denali routing application runs on the Helios,
connecting the mobile gateway to the Everyware
Cloud via one of its available network interfaces.
• Helios periodically publishes the PLC data to the
Everyware Cloud.
• Controls sent to the Everyware Cloud are forwarded
to the Helios and the PLC.
