SIMATIC IOT2050 - The next intelligent gateway for industrial IoT solutions

The new SIMATIC IOT2050 industrial IoT gateway, based on ARM processor technology from Texas Instruments, is an open, industrial PC-like platform with which customers can implement a wide range of applications in the IOT, gateway and edge environment.

SIMATIC IOT2050 features numerous interfaces and sets itself apart mainly due to its expandability, free programming in high-level languages and the availability of a wide range of packages in the Linux environment.

The fanless industrial design and the availability ex stock complete the offer.

Major highlights:

High industrial functionality

- Texas Instruments ARM AM6528 Dual Core Cortex A53

- The real-time clock (RTC) receives the time-of-day even in the event of zero voltage

without synchronization.

- DDR4 memory technology with 1 GB RAM

- Embedded features (user LED, user button, etc.)

- Integrated 12 … 24 V DC wide-range power supply

- Low power consumption starting, i.e. low waste heat

- Developed and tested for 24/7 operation

High connectivity

- ARDUINO slot for connecting IOs and sensors

- miniPCI Express slot for integrating wireless applications

- 2x Ethernet (separate) enables operation in different separate networks

- 2x USB to connect to any USB device

- 1x serial interface (switchable RS-232/485/422) especially for connecting intelligent sensors

Highest degree of variability for creating applications

- Full Debian is now available, which provides usability comparable to Raspberry Pi

employing standard package managers (like apt).

- The user adds the components required for the specific application.

- Numerous drivers, protocols, example applications available

- For example, cloud protocols of large cloud providers are available for download as Debian packages

- Various high-level language compilers (C/C ++, JAVA, JSON, Python, etc.) and development environments

(especially ECLIPSE) can be used

Target applications

- Gateway for

* Collection

* Pre-processing

* Forwarding of data to higher-level units, e.g. to a cloud or edge nodes

- Computer tasks with low performance requirements

Technical support and application support from Siemens Industry Online Forum

- To assist in operating system customization, a forum moderated by customers is available

at the start of delivery to provide support in integration of the application

and commissioning the development environment.

- This is where a Getting Started, application examples, FAQs, etc. will be available.

- Furthermore, the required files (firmware, images) are provided in this way.

More efficiency in the new digital world with SIMATIC IOT2050!

Many people talking about the #future with preventive maintenance of machines, coupling of production to the ERP systems, minimizing downtime's of production and analyzing data. From my point of view the important thing is to have a complete system and a common platform to get all this done with collaborating tools. Also mandatory is a gateway to bring the #data to the right tool whether you work with Industrial Edge or connect to the cloud.

Now with the new IoT gateway Simatic IOT2050 you have a simple and cost-effective way to do all this and use the power of your data.
