Use the Node-RED based switching center to put your IoT puzzle together
Wiesemann & Theis GmbH introduces the “rule.box Digital 2xIn, 2xOut” as a switching and data center for DIN rail mounting.
The system is based on an ARM-Linux platform proven in industrial use and offers a ready-to-use Node-RED installation for graphical development of IoT and Industry 4.0 applications. To make linking sensors and actuators simple the device is equipped with two digital in- and outputs each. By using corresponding processing nodes the inputs can for example trigger messages, be represented on a dashboard or initiate other actions. The outputs can also be shown on the dashboard, switched from there or used for local alarm sending.
In addition to the Node-RED base nodes the development environment also includes W&T expansion nodes for integrating Web-IOs, Web Thermometers and Com-Servers. IoT devices, protocols and clouds from other manufacturers can be supported by installing additional nodes. This enables use as a universal switching center for the control cabinet.
