A New Era in Industrial Connectivity( PLC 1792D-CB18JP/1783-BMS06SL/1771-IMD/1771-0VN/1797-IE8)

In a significant move to enhance industrial connectivity, PLC has joined forces with Softing Industrial to introduce the edgeConnector technology. This new innovation connects  popular ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers with advanced Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, bridging gaps between traditional operational technology (OT) and modern information technology (IT). Built with Docker-based container technology, the edgeConnector module facilitates seamless data exchange, making it possible to link factory equipment to high-level management systems such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems(1783-ETAP1F /1746-HSCE2/1746-NI8/1746-HSCE/SST-PFB-SLC/1746-NIO4V/1756-IV32/1756-IB16I/1756-OB32/1756-IB16ISOE/1734-IF4U-1). By using OPC UA, a secure and standardized communication protocol, edgeConnector technology supports reliable, real-time data flow across an organization.

Key Benefits of EdgeConnector for Industrial Applications

The edgeConnector module is designed to meet the unique needs of industrial operations, from small setups to large-scale facilities. It enables MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), a low-power protocol that suits IIoT applications requiring efficient data handling. The PLC(1440-TPS02-01RB XM-320/1746-NO4I/1756-IT6I/1756-IF6I)module also connects up to 20  PLCs within a single container environment, making it scalable for growing facilities. This enhanced connectivity empowers companies to monitor and control processes in real-time, improving decision-making and operational efficiency.
