m»w PLC AUTOMATION AC500 as loT Gateway Smart cloud connectivity via MQTT

— MQTT – the lightweight IoT protocol Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is a TCP/IP messaging protocol mainly used for lightweight communication to the cloud. It is based on a client/broker architecture which allows easy data distribution across various clients (e.g. devices, web services). Client / broker architecture Event-based communication: Messages forwarded by broker as soon as they arrive — Benefits: • Supported by many IoT platforms / applications • Low bandwidth usage • Low battery consumption • Easy integration of many devices — Typically used for: • Condition monitoring...

Platform-independent With our generic libraries, the choice of the cloud platform is up to you! Fieldbus-compatible Full fieldbus-compatibility of the AC500 makes it easy for you to connect your whole network to the cloud. Thus, there is no need for additional gateways. Flexible & scalable All AC500 modules are compatible and can be changed easily or extended. The system can therefore evolve with your cloud! Performance / functionality MQTT Data processing & control Functional safety control Data processing & control Local analytics Electrical protection Data processing & control Data...
