Protocol converter ip4Cloud

ModbusPROFIBUS DPDIN rail

ip4Cloud is able to extract information from existing systems with critical processes and transmit it to IT applications, cloud services, and SCADA systems for further processing. Forward-looking manufacturing concepts provide for the connection of previously independent controllers, fieldbus devices, and SCADA systems to each other, as well as to the IT or IoT environment, as investment protection for existing plants/controllers. Numerous standardized protocols are available for data transmission between different communication partners. These include communication interfaces like: MQTT, REST, database, Profibus, Modbus, Simatic Fetch/Write, IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, DNP 3.0, TASE.2, OPC UA, OPC DA XML, and more. Multiple protocols can be used simultaneously. By default, the usage of one primary and one secondary protocol is licensed. If more protocols shall be used at the same time, an additional license can be purchased. To simplify the configuration further, various templates are available, such as 'Profibus2AzureMQTT' (send data from PROFIBUS DP to the 'Microsoft Azure Cloud' via MQTT protocol). ip4Cloud is available in conjunction with the hardware models SEC3, SEC3PB and SEC3IO. For wireless communication, the 4G LTE cellular model SEC3M is offered.
