Industrial cloud communication from field device into the cloud for industrial IoT and Industry 4.0
15 June 2016
Miles Industrial Electronics' introduction of netIOT Industrial Cloud Communications portfolio brings the Industrial Internet within reach of OEMs, device vendors, system integrators and end users, allowing them to take full advantage of the business-enhancing potential of Industrial IoT
netIOT Edge devices securely connect automation networks with a cloud or any IoT directed application. The devices are designed for continuous operations in environments with permanent intranet or internet connection.
Seemless Integration
As field devices they perform cyclic IO data exchange with the PLC or controller over PROFINET or Ethernet/IP and communicate with IoT capable field devices simultaneously. The exchanged field data builds the basis for intelligent higher-level applications of cyber-physical systems and M2M solutions. Compatible with existing installations with PROFIBUS or Modbus for simple upgrade.
Maximum Security
System integrity is maintained by security mechanisms such as; physical separation of the automation and IT network, a secure operating system, the execution of only signed firmware protecting against manipulation. Whilst the latest secure HTTPS/TLS encryption techniques protect against electronic eavesdropping and data theft.
Easy Engineering
The gateway’s web based Thing Wiring Editor builds the basic function. With drag and drop no programming is necessary, only configuration. It serves to model the data flow in the devices. Data apps and data profiles are created in minutes with predefined function blocks.
Cloud IoT Communications
OPC UA and MQTT functions address objects in IoT field devices or in the cloud over standardised IoT protocols. With data semantics for easy abstraction in the cloud netIOT Edge-Gateways are already configured to work with cloud platforms such as IBM’s Bluemix solutions and Microsoft Azure IoT.
- Effortless integration into the automation network as standard field device
- Rapid modelling of data paths between field and application with Thing Editor
- Direct OPC UA / MQTT communications to IoT capable field devices in parallel to the PLC
- Trusted platforms due to secured boot
- Secure HTTPS/TLS encrypted data transmissions
