How many tag per chanel on Kepware Server - IOT Gateway

[TL_10544753]

We know about Mitsubishi-Etectric series in Q series.

Check the understanding of best practices in tags per channel on IoT gateways.

What is the maximum number of tags on IoT gateways?

Greetings @TL_10544753 ,

The best practices for the number of tags per channel in an IoT gateway can vary depending on the specific gateway and the use case. However, a general guideline is to keep the number of tags per channel manageable to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

For example, in the case of Kepware’s KEPServerEX, it is recommended to limit the number of tags per channel to around 500 to 1000. This helps maintain efficient data processing and reduces the risk of communication bottlenecks.

Thanks.

if there are 20,000 tags.

Base on Kepware Manufacturing Suite

1. Maximum device channels.
2. Maximum tags per channel.

We need guidance on how to support a large number of tags.

For example,

• For 500 tags, is using 1 node (IoT Gateway) sufficient?
• For 1,000 tags, how many nodes are required?
• For 5,000 tags, how many nodes are required?
• For more than 10,000 tags, should we separate them into multiple nodes?
• Are there any limitations we should be aware of?

Additionally, could you please suggest the IoT Gateway specifications for each level of tags mentioned above?

Thank you for your assistance.
