Secure Networking with Cloud Connectivity

It’s all about data: In the past, technical data from the field made it through to the control levels at best – but that has changed. Thanks to modern information technology, the most important information from production is no longer restricted to the classic automation pyramid, but is now available at any time and place. However, for this to work, the technical conditions must be right. WAGO’s PFC Controllers and control panels are equipped with cloud connectivity and transfer data to WAGO Cloud – or any other MQTT broker.

The Benefits for You:

Direct connection from the field level to the cloud
Expansion of existing systems with our PFC Controllers and control panels as an IoT gateway
Distributed data acquisition and visualization from anywhere
Connection to Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, IBM Cloud SAP Cloud or other MQTT brokers via standardized MQTT protocol
High level of security thanks to TLS encryption
Sparkplug
Multi-Cloud Connectivity

Cloud Connectivity: An Overview

Cloud Connectivity: An Overview

Cloud Connectivity

Whether you use WAGO controllers as edge devices and pre-process the data – i.e., edge computing – or the controllers send the data directly, WAGO controllers always have you covered. Cloud Connectivity lets you bring your “Industrial Internet of Things” (IIoT) project to life. Use MQTT with Publish/Subscribe (Pub/Sub) for the local data exchange between the controllers and for the connection between the controllers and a SCADA system, a large variety of cloud providers, WAGO Cloud or IoT solutions – whether in the cloud or “on-premises” (locally hosted). With the WAGO controllers’ large variety of interfaces, it’s easy to link even other manufacturers’ devices to the cloud by using the WAGO controllers as an IoT gateway.

Multi-Cloud Connectivity

Additionally, multi-cloud connectivity enables different tasks to be implemented in a cloud application. For example, device management can be performed within WAGO Cloud, while specific tasks are implemented in another cloud-based solution, e.g., IBM Watson, Amazon Web Services (AWS) or another specialized IoT platform. Data can also be split up, allowing critical data to go to a local MQTT broker and less critical data to a cloud. Configuration is performed via the device’s Web-Based Management (WBM), and programming is done in WAGO’s e!COCKPIT engineering software.
