W&T added a new operation mode to the Com-Server++, making it a Gateway between a serial Modbus/RTU device and a Modbus/TCP master in the network. Many devices such as energy meters, measuring transducers, power inverters etc. have an RS232/422/485 interface and communicate via the Modbus/RTU protocol. The Com-Server integrates these devices quickly and reliably into […]
Integrating signals with Modbus-TCP, OPC UA/DA, REST or MQTT Automation technology in industry most often involves hardware components from many different manufacturers combined in a common system. It used to be that the data exchange needed for such systems was handled by many different fieldbus systems. Even before the advent of Industry 4.0 there has […]
Device failure or network fault creates alarm. The new IP Watcher lets you monitor up to 100 network nodes and IP addresses. Should a device not respond or the IP address can no longer be reached, the new IP Watcher issues an alarm. The IP Watcher sends an email or switching alarm devices such […]
The W&T Microwall VPN Firewall router has WireGuard integrated, an extremely simple yet fast and modern VPN that utilizes state-of-the-art cryptography. It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPsec, while avoiding the massive headache. It intends to be considerably more performant than OpenVPN. WireGuard is designed as a general purpose VPN […]
Com-Server provide serial interfaces over the network. Virtualizing computer systems is sensible in many cases for reasons of both cost and security. However, if the virtualized system is communicating with serial devices (e.g. medical/weighing/measuring technology or wind power/photovoltaic systems etc.), there is the problem that the usual virtualization platforms provide insufficient support. But the network […]
The requirements for IT security are continually increasing in industry. Yet at the same time we often see a lack of personnel resources for implementing this security. The IT security products from W&T are designed for straightforward implementation of concrete security requirements. As a basic measure for many IT security concepts the W&T micro-firewalls isolate […]
Com-Servers and USB-Servers are in a class of their own because in contrast to many commercially available serial device servers and USB device servers they are not simply a power-saving computer with a piece of rather complicated software, but rather “contain” a service which is vital for any critical use: As long as there are […]
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 […]
