Hello, We have a device (electrical motor, sensors, actuator) that is sold to end-customers and installed in remote locations. We are currently planning to modernise the device to offer remote monitoring. We plan to replace the current PLC with a more modern Siemens LOGO!8. We would also need a way to make the LOGO!8 communicate with a server located in the cloud. Reading the IOT2000 series page at the Siemens website -- where it is presented as The intelligent gateway for industrial IoT solutions -- the IOT2020/2040 seems like the perfect addition to the system to act as a gateway of information between the LOGO!8 and the cloud! What I can't seem to find at the webpage (or here at the forum so long) is some kind of application example/recommended solution/best practice/etc. on how to achieve this. I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction! Specifically I have the following two questions: 1. What is the SIEMENS recommended way to interface the IOT with LOGO!8? I am currently interested in remote monitoring of the LOGO!8: reading sensor values, reading if there is any active fault (e.g. motor protection active), etc.; but remote configuration might also be interesting in the future. 2. What is the recommended way to achieve a gateway functionality with the IOT2020/40 according to the above webpage and figure, assuming the IOT is behind a firewalled private network, while the cloud server is on the public Internet? Thank you so much for your help! Jonian |

Hi jonian, we do not have a recommended way to do. You can use node-red as Epy mentioned. It is very easy to use. For LOGO! communication you can use for example S7-communication with node-red. There is an application example and my last post in this topic refers to LOGO!8. But you can also write your own code (Java Script, C / C++, etc) to read out values of the LOGO!8. Same with the cloud application. There will be an application example using the IOT to send data to a cloud soon. Best regards! |

New question published by anjalirani is split to a separate thread with the subject Application example to send data to a cloud. Best regards |
