Nimbus IoT
Edge Processing Interface
Data visibility for better machine performance
The Nimbus IoT collates signals from industrial equipment for
processing and publishing to the Cloud. Designed for moni-
toring small machines and automation systems it enables data
visibility for determining machine health or process efficiency.
Collect field operating data from your machine
Built-in cloud interface sends data from your machine directly
to the Cloud – useful for facilities maintenance monitoring,
replenishing consumables and remote diagnostic monitoring.
Direct wireless interface to field process inputs
Nimbus IoT converts, conditions and processes analog signals
directly to wireless WiFi (801.11) or (eMTC) LTE Cat-M1. No
additional wireless modem required.
Easily integrates with existing automation equipment
The Nimbus IoT natively supports MQTT communications protocol and the ModBus RTU
master/slave communication port directly interfaces to metering and control automation.
Nimbus onboard logic engine allows customization for specific measurement and monitoring
requirements.
Extra cloud interface security and Store and Forward data integrity
Connection and data security are paramount so the Nimbus IoT provides peace of mind with
Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2) protocol. In the event of a network communications fail-
ure the Nimbus IoT Store and Forward function buffers data locally, forwarding to the cloud
server once network communications are reinstated, securely monitoring and recording with
total data integrity.
