The German manufacturer W&T added a new MQTT broker to their product range. The new MQTT.box operates as a standalone Mosquitto MQTT broker in the network and enables secure communication between network-capable automation components using MQTT protocol. It is easy to install and the perfect Mosquitto broker solution for small to medium size applications. LEARN […]
It was great to catch up with W&T in Wuppertal, Germany on a typical cold and snowy day just before Christmas – a contrast to the warmer weather back in Australia 🙂 A big thank you Patrick and Tobias for showing me around and meeting the rest of the W&T support team. It was great […]
The MQTT.box from Wiesemann & Theis (W&T) is a Mosquitto MQTT broker for DIN rail mounting. It can operate as a standalone Mosquitto MQTT broker in the network and enables secure communication between network-capable automation components using MQTT protocol. The unique feature of MQTT is that two communication partners exchanging data with each other never […]
Gather, monitor and archive analog measurement values over the Internet/Intranet. The Web-IO Analog lets you access analog current and voltage signals over Ethernet. Depending on the model the devices monitor and set 0/4-20mA or 0-10V signals per DIN IEC 60381-1 And -2. Application example, how does it work: Definition of tasks: In a production environment […]
The German IT manufacturer W&T added another interesting new product to their product range, the transfer.box LAN-USB, which can both store data and send it from USB devices over the Internet. The transfer.box is a USB memory with network interface. Whereas locally connected USB sticks or USB drives are a “dead-end street” in terms of […]
IT security for operative technologies. Industrial manufacturing is based on the pillars of information and operational technology: in short, IT and OT. IT tasks include data processing and strategic planning of production on the company level, whereas OT handles specific control of the individual production lines and equipment. Both areas work towards the same company […]
Open gates or doors remotely? Trigger alarms by switching signal lamps, horns, bells or sirens? Control outdoor lighting? All it takes is a phone call. Voice-Over-IP Voice-Over-IP has been an established communication standard for years. The advantage of this technology is that telephones, PCs and other terminal devices can operate in one and the […]
The Web-IO range from Wiesemann & Theis (W&T) now supports OPC UA, one of the most essential common communication standards. Now Web-IOs can make even older machines, controllers and measuring devices viable for the future. That’s a great benefit! The Web-IOs allow traditional automation components and various measuring points to communicate with any other machine, […]
Bridge: Microwall Bridge The Microwall Bridge operates transparently as far as the IP ranges are concerned. This means the IP ranges (Net-IDs) of the surrounding network and the island side are identical. Nevertheless, cross-network connections are only possible after establishing express release rules based on the respective involved IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers. Preferred […]
The Microwall Bridge (Firewall) provides security when needed, quickly and simply and this without changing the IP configuration. The preferred area of application is therefore the easiest possible, add-on security expansion of existing infrastructures. Segmenting network and isolating of sensitive network areas is one of the basic measures in virtually any IP security concept for […]
