Basic iGromi Bridge Installation

Estimated reading time: 4 min

What is the iGromi Bridge?

The Bridge is the gateway between the physical world of your machines (sensors, PLCs, relays) and the digital brain of iGromi OS.

Cabinet requirements

  • Space on a 35mm DIN rail (it takes 4 modules of width).
  • 24V DC power supply (1 Amp minimum).
  • Stable WiFi signal (2.4GHz) or an Ethernet cable (recommended).

Installation

  1. Mounting: Clip the device onto the DIN rail.
  2. Power: Wire the +V and 0V terminals to your 24V supply.
  3. Network (recommended): Plug an Ethernet cable into the LAN port. The device picks up an IP over DHCP automatically.
  4. WiFi (alternative): With no cable, the Bridge creates a network named iGromi_Setup_XXXX. Join it from your phone (password: igromi-admin), open 192.168.4.1 in your browser and enter your plant WiFi credentials.

Linking it to your account

Once the Bridge has internet (the "NET" LED blinks green):

  1. Open your iGromi web portal.
  2. Go to Settings > Hardware > Add Bridge.
  3. Enter the serial number (S/N) printed on the side of the unit.
  4. Name the device (e.g. Bridge_Filler_01).

The device automatically downloads its TLS security policies and starts operating.

Is this for your plant?

This documentation describes how it is done. If you want to know what your particular installation would need, which equipment can be read today and which cannot, the conversation is shorter than reading the whole wiki.
