Hardware Setup for transfer of MachineManager data

To connect a MachineManager to Proficloud.io, a gateway solution is required. Our recommended solution is to use the EM-MODBUS-GATEWAY-IFS in combination with the Edge PC 1502. You can also use any other device running NodeRED instead of the Edge PC 1502.

For the physical installation of EMM 3-24DC/500AC-xxx-EXM-IFS and EM-MODBUS-GATEWAY-IFS, please check out the package slip.
After the physical installation is done, connect the Ethernet port of the EM-MODBUS-GATEWAY-IFS to X2 of the Edge PC. Connect X3 needs to a network with unrestricted internet access.

In the next lessons you will learn how to configure the system.
