IBH Link UA Quad Core 64 Bit

The IBH Link UA Quad Core 64 Bit has the same capabilities as the IBH Link UA Quad Core is much more powerful, as it is equipped with a 64 Bit 1.8 Ghz Processor with 4GB RAM.
This makes it particularly suitable for docker containers:
Docker is an open source tool that provides a portable and consistent runtime environment for software applications. Docker uses containers as isolated environments in user space that run at operating system level and share the file system and system resources.

GDS - Global Discovery Service (Server/Client):
A Global Discovery Server (GDS) provides mechanisms for the central administration of the following components:
• CA-signed certificates and self-signed certificates
• Trusted lists and certificate revocation lists (CRL)
A GDS thus provides an access point for central certificate management.
It therefore takes on the role of a security server within an OPC UA network.

Optionally, it is possible to install a GDS server from Unified Automation as a Docker container.







Support of data models and methods with Python:
To link data models or companion specs with Python modules on the IBH Link UA, the desired companion spec or data model is integrated into the project on the IBH Link UA. The OPC Foundation has specified data models for a variety of industries. For industrial automation, for example, there are data models for the automation of production plants and machines, such as machine control, monitoring and diagnostics, as well as production process management and energy management. This means that all the possibilities offered by Python can be used.

Mitsubishi Electric iQ-R IoT Gateway

The IoT Gateway is a module of the MELSEC iQ-R series. This industrial hardware can access data from various automation devices and make them available to the enterprise world via OPC UA or MQTT. The configuration is done via an intuitive web interface or a Windows software (free of charge). The IoT Gateway uses the pre-installed software of the well-known IBH OPC Server/Clinet from IBHsoftec
A secure remote access can be realized via an integrated TeamViewer function. No PC in the plant is necessary, only a TeamViewer IoT license. Complex modem solutions or the use of a PC on site are a thing of the past.... .

IBH Link UA goes Mitsubishi Electric

A new feature is the connection to SINUMERIK 840D and 840D SL. The SINUMERIK controllers can be accessed with the same variety of functions from the OPC UA module. Also with SINUMERIK, userdefined OPC UA variables (e.g. those of the OPC UA Companion Specifications) can be exchanged with an MQTT broker and thus used for cloud connections. Communication with the controllers will be done via TCP/IP (840D SL) or via our IBH Link S7++ (840D). The additional function for SINUMERIK is also available for IBH Link modules that are already running. They can be easily upgraded via a free of charge update..

IBH Link UA goes Rockwell Automation

New is, that Rockwell controllers from the Logix family - ControlLogix and CompactLogix - are also supported. The Rockwell controllers are integrated like the Siemens PLC and can access the same functionality of the OPC UA module. For the Rockwell controllers as well, user-defined OPC UA variables can be exchanged with an MQTT broker/server and thus be used for cloud solutions. A special feature of the Rockwell controllers is, that the variable tables can be used directly from the controller. There is no need for a PLC project, which means an additional simplification. Communication with the controllers is established via TCP/IP. The additional functionality for the Rockwell Automation controllers is also available for IBH Link UA modules that have already been commissioned and can simply be downloaded with a free update..

IBH Link UA goes Modbus

The IBH Link UA now also supports Modbus nodes. EA slaves can also be controlled by the integrated S7 SoftPLC.
The configuration is done with our freely available IBH OPC UA Editor..

Siemens Iot2040 goes OPC UA

A microSD card with the OPC UA server / client with IBHsoftec firewall is now available for the Siemens Gateway IoT2040 (6ES7647-0AA00-1YA2). By simply plugging the microSD card pre-configured by IBHsoftec, the IoT2040 becomes an OPC UA server / client for Siemens PLCs. This solution inetgrates SIMATIC S5, S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500 and Logo! (Ethernet versions) Controllers into the OPC UA world. It is an OPC UA Server/Client module with integrated firewall for the SIMATIC S5, S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500 and LOGO! (Ethernet versions) PLC. It is a compact unit for DIN rail mount with four Ethernet ports and a 24V power supply.

 

 

 

IBHsoftec now supports the SIMATIC IOT2000 Input / Output Modules (5xDI 2xAI 2xDO) with its SD card version of the OPC UA server. The input / output modules can be easily activated via the Web configurator and are addressed by the integrated S7 SoftPLC. Thus the use of the IOT2040 for MES systems can also be used e.g. on old systems without the need of an external PLC to collect the data.
