Web-IOs now also with OPC UA

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, […]
Segmentation: Router- vs. Bridge Mode

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 […]
Protecting machines and equipment without changing the IP setup

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 […]
Network one-way street

The Fix Defined Firewall links computers to networks with no feedback, so that the computers are able to receive only. All received network packets are passed on in one direction to the reading host. Data traffic to the safe network is not possible – neither from the reading computer nor from the firewall itself. How […]
Web-IO Digital Box-to-Box

Do you want to send switching signals over the network? Not a problem with the W&T Web-IO digital models, for example #57730. Whether gate control at the company entrance, the nurse call system in a hospital, or alarm switches on the cold store or furnace – there are many places where there is a need […]
PoE – Power supply from the network cable

Power over Ethernet refers to a technology in which the supply voltage for a network component is included on the data cable. With PoE you can significantly reduce the cabling effort, especially for devices in industrial and home automation. In addition, the additional power supplies often needed for powering devices are eliminated. PoE power classes […]
Protect your machines and systems

Do you know the new W&T Microwall IO unit has Digital IO on board that you can use to enable/disable the firewall with a physical switch or a PLC output controlled by time logic? The 55212 Microwall IO is a standard Microwall with Digital I/O on-board. You can programme these I/O to change the state […]
