IIoT functions for compact PLCs
Mitsubishi Electric has updated the 'FX5-ENET' Ethernet module to provide Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) functionality in installations using 'Melsec iQ-F' series PLCs.
The latest hardware upgrade to Mitsubishi Electric 's module enables seamless data integration to the cloud in line with IIoT requirements. As a result, machines benefit from data-driven analytics for predictive maintenance, simplified troubleshooting and increased productivity. IIoT cloud connectivity is enabled by the MQTT communication protocol. This connectivity enables remote access and seamlessly connected machines for smart operations. The use of MQTT in the FX5-ENET Ethernet unit provides a range of security features, including encryption, digital certifications and TLS encryption, which minimize potential risks through detection, prevention and response. This ensures secure data transmission and protects against potential security risks. In addition, functions for sending encrypted e-mails have been integrated.
