EK9160 IoT Bus Coupler transmits all control data simply, safely and cost-effectively to all common cloud systems in plug-and-play fashion
SAVAGE,
Minnesota, May 4, 2016 – The new EK9160 IoT Bus Coupler from Beckhoff
Automation establishes a direct connection to the cloud without any
special control program between Beckhoff EtherCAT I/O and the Internet
of Things (IoT). As a result, the coupler enables simple and
standardized integration of I/O data with cloud-based communication and
data services.
Via an integrated web server, I/O data can be parameterized, such as in
data processing and timing, through a simple configuration dialogue. No
special engineering tools are needed. The EK9160 IoT Bus Coupler then
autonomously transmits the data, including time stamp, to the cloud
service. Apart from that, extended mechanisms are available, including
local buffering of I/O data on a microSD card (2 GB) to protect against
data loss when the Internet connection is interrupted. The cloud
services and security functions (encryption, firewall) can be
configured via the web server in the same convenient way.
All major cloud systems are supported via the IoT protocols AMQP, MQTT
and OPC UA (over AMQP): Microsoft Azure™, Amazon Web Services™ (AWS),
SAP HANA, as well as and private cloud systems in company networks. The
EK9160 is "Microsoft Azure™ Certified" and enables communication with
clouds based on advanced multi-cloud capabilities.

conjunction with the industry-leading portfolio of EtherCAT I/O
Terminals offered by Beckhoff, the EK9160 can be used to transmit the
widest range of machine and building data types to the cloud, such as
temperature, pressure, vibration or energy consumption. Added to this
is the possibility to monitor connected fieldbuses.
The I/O signals can not only be collected via EtherCAT, but also via
the monitor operating mode of CANopen or PROFIBUS Terminals, for
analysis by external specialists, for example.
