Compact cellular router with MindConnect enables direct connectivity to MindSphere

Plug & play router Ruggedcom RX1400 for data transfer to MindSphere
Pre-processing of data before transferring to MindSphere
Proven reliability in extreme temperatures and harsh environments
High bandwidth connectivity to remote locations

The Ruggedcom RX1400 router with MindConnect running in the VPE1400 is a plug & play solution that enables users to easily and reliably read out data with OPC UA and/or an S7-connection from their assets and pre-process it for the transfer to MindSphere. Subsequently, the encrypted data is transferred to MindSphere, where it is available for processing and analysis. The compact, single device solution provides the combined capabilities of data acquisition, conversion and communication with MindSphere. End devices can connect via serial, wireless LAN, optical or Ethernet connections. The connection to MindSphere can be setup with redundant paths, either via LTE or copper/fiber Ethernet and users benefit from the high bandwidth connectivity to remote locations. Proven reliability and ability to function in extreme temperatures from -40° C to +85° C and harsh environments make the Ruggedcom RX1400 with MindConnect an ideal choice for MindSphere data acquisition in industrial applications such as electric power, transportation, and oil & gas.
