Anybus X-gateway IIoT - ControlNet Adapter – OPC UA-MQTT

The Anybus X-gateway IIoT allows you to seamlessly inter-connect PLC control systems and their connected devices to the IIoT networks MQTT and OPC UA.

SAFE AND ISOLATED DATA MONITORING
The X-gateway IIoT’s primary function is to allow the fast streaming of an industrial network into OPC UA and MQTT. This offloads your PLC from working with additional services while providing extra security by isolated the high-risk connections away from sensitive areas.  In principle, the PLC gets its own firewall.


EASY CONFIGURATION - NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED!
The connection between the two networks is quickly set up in the Anybus Configuration Manager software, included with the X-gateway. No programming skills are needed to set up the X-gateway.
