Configuration examples
Below you will find examples of possible configurations with the "CloudConnect 7" gateway:
Connection of a process station to a cloud broker
In the configuration shown, the gateway reads process data from a process station and
transfer the data to a cloud broker using MQTT.
The process station is a SIMATIC S7-300 in this example. It can also be any other station
from the S7 product family.
A Modbus station, such as the programmable controller of a third-party supplier, can also be
connected.
●
When it is connected to a SIMATIC S7, the gateway communicates using an S7
connection.
●
When it is connected to a Modbus station, the gateway communicates using
Modbus/TCP.
