Communication density
Two segments, powered devices
PDM-5110 carries two Intel i226-V 2.5G ports and a PoE PSE header, so one gateway can serve multiple segments and powered devices.

Gateways that keep talking
In public-power and grid-tied setups, the board is the data processing and communication layer: protocol gateways, telemetry nodes, cabinet controllers. Across the three: 2.5G LAN, PoE options, DC input from 12V to 36V depending on the model, and −20/+60°C operation.

What the cabinet asks for
What the application demands
Three requirements for the communication layer, each tied to a field on the model datasheet.
Node compute
Processing at the cabinet
Alder Lake-N and Twin Lake-N platforms with onboard LPDDR5 up to 16GB on PDM-5110 and AD742A run protocol conversion and telemetry on site.
Remote service
Wide input, AMT
TL500Z3AW accepts DC 9–36V and adds AMT plus a 0–255 s watchdog for cabinets that are rarely visited.
Recommended boards
Three gateways for the comm layer.
Fields are quoted from the model pages. These boards do data processing and communication, not power conversion; no utility certification is claimed.

Energy and communication, answered.
Two questions that come up before the sample request.
They handle the data processing and communication layer in public-power and grid-tied setups: protocol conversion, gateway routing and telemetry. They are not power-conversion hardware, and no utility certification is claimed.
