Anybus Edge Gateway with switch
With Anybus Edge gateways, data from industrial equipment and machines can be easily and securely accessed while enabling complete data and device management throughout the application lifecycle. With the Edge gateway, edge intelligence can be performed close to the data source, de-centralizing intelligent operations. User-defined data is transferred from the gateway to the cloud via the HMS Hub over a secure connection. The solution is perfectly suited for monitoring applications, allowing all connected industrial devices to be controlled in an intelligent way from an IoT application.
帶交換機的Anybus Edge網關可連接Modbus TCP或Modbus RTU 設備至HMS Hub,與此同時還可作為OPC UA 服務器或MQTT 客戶端。額外的四端口交換機可添加額外的乙太網通道,並且可以添加更多乙太網設備。
Description
I. Features and Benefits
Easily perform edge intelligence with HMS Sequence
The Anybus Edge gateway is designed to be easy to use. Use HMS Sequence, a powerful graphic programming tool, to construct the graphics you need on your edge smart devices. Configuration and deployment can be done on-site or remotely through a simple web interface.

Security and Equipment Management
End-to-end data security is the most important part of the edge system. The security of data integration, data transfer and data storage is certified and can be updated to protect against security threats in advance. The business blueprint is changing rapidly, and the industrial equipment at the center of that blueprint needs to be able to adapt. To achieve this, equipment management is critical.

III. Security
Smart Components of the Edge Ecosystem
The industrial communications and data intelligence enabled by the Anybus Edge gateway are just two chapters in the Edge story. To realize the benefits of the Industrial Internet of Things, the Anybus Edge gateway works seamlessly with the HMS Hub to give systems a flexible, secure edge connection.

Data protection at all levels
Securing data from the factory floor to enterprise software is only part of the job. Device and data security is a growing concern in our daily business. True security must be present at every level of the end-to-end solution. Encrypted data transmission is no good if the values in the payload have already been compromised. Care must be taken from the moment the data enters the system to the moment it leaves the system.
Safety Features of Anybus Edge
- Firewalls, OpenVPN and password protection - it is vital to control access to your devices. Access should not only stop connections, but also ignore them completely - to avoid being paralyzed by denial-of-service attacks.
- Root Access Authentication - Controlling root access to the system ensures that certain routines are never disturbed.
- TLS Data Encryption - Protecting privacy and data integrity through strong encryption means no manipulation is required to get data where it needs to be.
- Standard Port Usage - The appliance utilizes outbound HTTPS connections to push and pull data, allowing for easy integration with standard firewall environments.
Managing Equipment to Meet Future Threats
As we make new discoveries about global capabilities and software libraries, we must be prepared to maintain the integrity of our systems, keep them up-to-date, and protect them from threats. Outdated devices and known vulnerabilities are the biggest security threats to any system. The idea that a fully hardened device can survive in this space without updates and feature enhancements is impossible. By providing all levels of update capability, Edge systems are designed to protect you from future unforeseen circumstances.
