Software to harness the potential of RUGGEDCOM networks to the fullest
RUGGEDCOM communications equipment is the backbone of communications networks in harsh environments. To support users in making the most of their RUGGEDCOM hardware, Siemens provides a complementary software ecosystem. The comprehensive software portfolio for RUGGEDCOM network components includes reliable solutions for network management, secure remote IED access, data conversion, routing, and visualization. This allows operators to custom-build a software environment that improves operational efficiency, speeds up system provisioning, and preserves network security. It has been developed specifically to address the needs of industrial network operators for mission-critical applications in harsh environments and is widely used in both field and enterprise environments.
This software portfolio includes the following products:
- RUGGEDCOM CROSSBOW for secure access to intelligent electronic devices.
- RUGGEDCOM ELAN, a product family comprising a substation communications server, universal DNP gateway, remote interface gateway and front-end processor.
- RUGGEDCOM MAESTRO with ELAN provides detailed configuration of client and server devices and point-mapping tables. RUGGEDCOM MAESTRO also provides configuration error-checking and allows for the offline configuration of complex RUGGEDCOM ELAN systems.
- SINEC NMS and SINEC INS for configuring, maintaining, and monitoring RUGGEDCOM networks.
- RUGGEDCOM VPE provides a virtual environment on the RUGGEDCOM RX1400 router where data can be processed and organized on-site – enabling the Industrial Internet-of-Things.
- SIMATIC CloudConnect works as an industrial IoT gateway – an all-in-one solution for plug-and-play connectivity to all common cloud solutions via the RUGGEDCOM RX1400.
- RUGGEDCOM Director is a software utility that creates virtual COM port-style serial device interfaces on computer systems running various Microsoft Windows operating systems.
