DOSSIER / 01Factories & automation
SCADA and IoT over the existing Ethernet LAN
- Problem
- The plant already has an Ethernet switch but needs PLC data, real-time monitoring, and alerts without rebuilding its signal network.
- Architecture
- PLC / Ethernet switch -> Modbus TCP or OPC UA -> iNut OPC / iNut PC edge -> web SCADA, Email/Telegram.
- Deployed layer
- iNut OPC · iNut PC · Modbus TCP · WiFi Mesh/RS485 when more field points are needed
- Described outcome
- Leverage the existing LAN and move data and alerts into an edge layer without replacing the whole cable system.
