The intelligent gateway for industrial IOT solutions SIMATIC IOT2040 With advancing digitalization, there continues to be steady progress in networking between production and office IT. Production data is collected and analyzed in the cloud or in the management system to optimize production. Yet the netwroking of existing plants represents a major challenge, because equipment from different manufacturers are frequently at different technological levels and often do not speak the same data languages and protocols. A time-consuming and complex retrofitting to connect both worlds soon becomes necessary. An intelligent gateway that standardizes communication between the various data sources, then analyzes and forwards communications to the corresponding recipients is a solution that can be easily implemented. It makes it possible to implement future-oriented production concepts even for existing plants. Performance. Openness. Expandability. SIMATIC IOT2040 at a glance • Various possibilities for programming in high-level languages • Yocto Linux support • Easily expandable with Arduino shields and mini PCIe cards • Compact industrial design and DIN rail mounting • Energy-saving and high-performance Intel Quark processor and numerous interfaces: Intel Quark x1020 (+Secure Boot), 1 GB RAM, 2 x Ethernet ports, 2 x RS232/485 interfaces, Real Time Clock with battery back-up • Proven SIMATIC quality with high level of r
