their applications. The platform offers
devices with router features up to modular
gateways and scalable edge controllers for
data acquisition and data digitization. The
interchangeable connection options of each
individual device offer great flexibility and
make the platform future-proof in the event
of changing conditions.

edge, FlexEdge’s modular architecture

communication options. This breadth of
options makes it an easily configured
communication gateway that connects with
any industrial communication requirement,
regardless of protocol or manufacturer. And

It’s available with advanced networking
functionality or advanced automation
features, including protocol conversion;
virtual HMIs; an advanced web server with
