Siemens SIMATIC IoT2040 6ES7647-0AA00-1YA2 6ES7 647-0AA00-1YA2 13:35

The Siemens SIMATIC IoT2040 is a dedicated industrial IoT gateway designed to bridge the gap between the factory floor and the cloud. It is a robust, compact, and open-computing platform based on Linux that allows you to collect, process, and forward data from industrial equipment (like PLCs, sensors, and drives) to higher-level systems such as cloud applications (e.g., Siemens MindSphere, IBM Watson IoT, AWS IoT), on-premise servers, or databases.

Its key differentiator is its industrial-grade design and seamless integration with the SIMATIC ecosystem, making it ideal for demanding factory and process automation environments.

Detailed Product Description

Order Number: 6ES7647-0AA00-1YA2

1. Key Features & Capabilities

• Industrial Robustness: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments with a wide operating temperature range (0 to 60 °C), high immunity to electromagnetic interference, and a durable, compact housing.

• Open Linux Platform: Pre-installed with a Debian-based Linux OS (formerly called “IoT OS”). This openness allows developers to use standard programming languages like Python, C++, Node.js, or Java to create custom applications.

• Powerful Connectivity:

  • Field Connectivity: Two integrated RS485/RS422 interfaces for connecting directly to PLCs (e.g., SIMATIC S7-1200/1500 via PPI/MPI), drives, barcode scanners, or other serial devices.

  • Ethernet Connectivity: Two RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports. One can be used for the plant network, and the other for device connectivity or network segregation.

  • Wireless Options: Features a mini-PCIe slot for adding cellular (3G/4G) or Wi-Fi modules, enabling flexible remote data transmission.

• Display & Interface: One HDMI port for connecting a local monitor for setup or visualization, and two USB 2.0 host ports for peripherals like keyboards, mice, or storage.

• SIMATIC Integration: Offers optimized connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs through pre-configured libraries and examples, significantly reducing development time.

• Cloud Ready: Comes with pre-built connectors and examples for major IoT cloud platforms, including:

  • Siemens MindSphere

  • IBM Watson IoT Platform

  • Microsoft Azure IoT Hub

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT
