These PLCnext Control devices allow control engineers to collect data from the field and move it to the cloud. The EPC 1502 and EPC 1522 are industrial edge computers that integrate into existing IT infrastructure, closing the gap between the IT and OT worlds. The devices have preinstalled software tools, such as Node-RED, a local time series database, and a simple cloud connection. These tools help reduce development and provision times. Data processing close to the user allows information to be exchanged quickly, securely and without latency. An integrated Web-based management tool guarantees simple and secure management. The devices have a full metal housing for passive cooling.
