TG-424 is a high-performance gateway for complex industrial data acquisition, protocol integration, edge processing and cloud connectivity. It fits interface-rich, multi-protocol, data-intensive or local-AI projects rather than every simple serial-transmission site.
Key Takeaways
- RK3576 octa-core platform with integrated NPU
- Optional AI coprocessor enables up to 26 TOPS combined compute
- Serial, CAN, digital I/O, Ethernet and wireless networks support diverse devices
What Problem Does This Product or Concept Solve?
TG-424 is a high-performance gateway for complex industrial data acquisition, protocol integration, edge processing and cloud connectivity. It fits interface-rich, multi-protocol, data-intensive or local-AI projects rather than every simple serial-transmission site. In a real project, rk3576 octa-core platform with integrated npu and optional ai coprocessor enables up to 26 tops combined compute must be considered in the same architecture. Begin with the workload, field devices and operating model rather than one marketing specification.
How Does It Work in an Industrial Architecture?
A practical sequence is to confirm device/interface list and protocols and point maps, then verify cycle and point count and local processing tasks, and finally test serial, can, digital i/o, ethernet and wireless networks support diverse devices with the real equipment. Record pass criteria so the design can be repeated across sites.
Where It Fits - and Where It Does Not
Compute, interfaces and protocol functions must be confirmed by firmware, options and current datasheet; do not assume every brochure item is plug-and-play in every project. Public content and project documents should therefore state model, firmware, regional network, options and environmental conditions and avoid unverifiable claims such as 'works for every project' or 'absolute reliability'.
How Tespro Fits
Tespro's current public model name should be TG-424. Earlier or internal TG-400 wording should not be used on public pages unless the product team reconfirms the series name.
Decision and Verification Table
| Decision factor | What to verify |
| RK3576 octa-core platform with integrated NPU | Confirm against device/interface list and document pass/fail criteria in the pilot or site test. |
| Optional AI coprocessor enables up to 26 TOPS combined compute | Confirm against protocols and point maps and document pass/fail criteria in the pilot or site test. |
| Serial, CAN, digital I/O, Ethernet and wireless networks support diverse devices | Confirm against cycle and point count and document pass/fail criteria in the pilot or site test. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is TG-424 appropriate for simple RS485 pass-through?
A: It can be evaluated, but a TD-DTU or simpler gateway may be a better fit for basic low-cost transmission.
Q: Is TG-424 a PLC replacement?
A: No. It can process data and edge applications, but deterministic control and safety interlocks remain with PLCs or dedicated controllers.
Q: Should public content use TG-400 or TG-424?
A: Current product material supports TG-424; use TG-400 only as an internal series label pending confirmation.
