ARM compatibility expands application range of edgeConnector products from Softing Industrial

The new version 3.50 of Softing Industrial’s edgeConnector products is now compatible with ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) processors. This expands the application possibilities. The Docker-based software modules of Softing’s edgeConnector product family provide access to process data in SIMATIC S7, SINUMERIK 840D and Modbus TCP (transmission control protocol) controllers.

Version 3.50 of edgeConnector Siemens, edgeConnector 804D and edgeConnector Modbus is now compatible with the 64-bit version of ARM processors. This extends the application possibilities to devices like Raspberry Pi, Cisco IR1101, Orange Pi 5 or RevPi Connect.

By using container technology, edgeConnector products are ready for use. They are operated on standard hardware and can be administered centrally. This gives users a simple and secure way to integrate data from production into flexible Industrial IoT solutions.

All edgeConnector products support security standards such as SSL/TLS, X.509 certificates, authentication, and data encryption. They can be configured locally via an integrated web interface or managed remotely via a REST API (representational state transfer application programming interface). The individual edgeConnector products are available for download and free trial from online directories such as Docker Hub or Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
