Edge Gateway functionality
The Vario-X controller goes beyond the functions of a traditional PLC by also acting as an edge gateway. This makes it a key component for modern IoT and Industry 4.0 applications by building a bridge between local sensors and globally accessible cloud services. This bridge functionality not only facilitates the connection between different networks and systems, but also optimizes data processing and communication for industrial automation purposes.

Machine 1 - Machine x
The IPC operates as a control and data collection unit in the direct area of the machine or as an EDGE gateway. When used directly on the machine, the IPC avoids the need for a complex control cabinet thanks to its IP65 protection rating. As an EDGE gateway, the IPC processes data locally before it is transmitted filtered to the cloud, resulting in faster response times and increased reliability.
App
Access real-time data and machine status via an app, either via the cloud or direct VPN access, machines and systems can be flexibly monitored and controlled from any location.
Cloud
By transferring data to a cloud platform, real-time data can be used efficiently, both for analyses and for apps in the cloud.
Security
End-to-end encryption in IoT communications provides reliable protection and ensures the privacy and integrity of data.
