Bridge Between OT and IT – How the SIG300 is Closing the Gap
Increasing digitalization in industry requires end-to-end communication between machines and systems at operational level (OT) as well as server and cloud environments in IT systems. SIG300 assumes the central role as an intelligent data broker. Companies can integrate sensor and actuator data into IT and cloud platforms in real time via several interfaces, including JSON-REST API and MQTT. This is particularly relevant for applications such as condition monitoring, process control, and remote maintenance.
Thanks to the support for Ethernet-based fieldbuses such as EtherCAT, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, the SIG300 ensures flexible integration into a wide range of control systems. This facilitates the connection to programmable logic controllers (PLC) without the need for complex adaptations.
Intelligent Data Integration for Greater Efficiency
The SIG300 IO-Link Master integrates sensor and actuator data into Ethernet networks and IIoT applications. Remote data collection and pre-processing enables an efficient display and analysis of this information in higher-level IIoT environments. The IO-Link Master therefore makes a significant contribution to transparent processes and efficient communication between OT and IT. Thanks to the intuitive web-based user interface and the Function Block Factory, integration costs are significantly reduced.
Smart and Flexible
The SIG300 facilitates the integration and control of digital I/O (DIO) and IO-Link devices. Thanks to intelligent device configuration and integrated control logic, SIG300 reduces complexity, simplifies integration processes and optimizes production processes. Eight IO-Link ports and a total output of 16 A offer high flexibility for demanding applications.
Transparent Condition Monitoring and Efficient Maintenance
Thanks to the connection to Field Analytics, SIG300 enables real-time monitoring of the connected devices and detailed performance analyses. It also allows remote maintenance if a connected sensor reports a need for maintenance. If a device needs to be replaced, SIG300 significantly reduces downtime thanks to the backup and restore function.
