Wago introduces new Edge Controller Computer
WAGO EDGE CONTROLLER AND COMPUTER
Optimized Data Use in the Field
Intelligent manufacturing processes now require more computing power, which places additional demands on field level databases. WAGO offers the right hardware for any edge application.Where real-time data is involved, data processing is becoming more and more important. Greater computing power is required as well as analysis and optimization algorithms, directly in the field.
WAGO offers solutions in the form of the Edge Controller and Edge Computer. These devices process applications right on the machine, taking the pressure off the controllers so they can focus on their actual control duties with low latency and a high level of determinism.
Collected data can be evaluated directly, displayed graphically and made available to the WAGO cloud. Transfer may be appropriate for especially critical data. Both of the new devices have additional advantages when data needs to be buffered temporarily, for instance in mobile applications. They are based on cabinet-compatible hardware, can be powered with 24 V and thus fit perfectly into the automation environment.
Simple Cloud Connectivity
A TPM 2.0 chip allows an encryption mechanism to be used to ensure data security. Besides the standard VPN applications, the devices are open for special security solutions such as Tosibox and Hooc. Thus, in addition to WAGO’s own VPN solution, users can also access other remote maintenance solutions with a high degree of security, in line with the #openandeasy principle.
WAGO EDGE CONTROLLER
The Edge Controller features an ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core processor and offers an extensive selection of interfaces, including two ETHERNET ports, one CANopen port and two USB ports. It also has a serial interface and four digital inputs/outputs for connecting local devices or sensors.
The Benefits for You:
- Easy integration into existing systems
- Space-saving installation
- The possibility of project configuration in the familiar e!COCKPIT environment
- Features high computing power and scalable storage
- Compact and low-maintenance
- Allows use of standard software
CLOUD
Do you want to use your machines and systems data for monitoring and analysis in the cloud? Take advantage of our open solutions for an easy and secure connection. In a few steps, you have a site-independent overview of all the relevant information and can identify opportunities for optimization and initiate changes directly. You alone decide which cloud system to send your data to via MQTT – for example, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, IBM Cloud or SAP Cloud.
