MACHINE PROTOCOL GATEWAY: ENHANCE FACTORY NETWORK SECURITY ON YOUR SHOPFLOOR BY ENABLING SMB V3 ON EXISTING MACHINES
SMB V3 provides the most secure file sharing protocol within IT networks.
However, many machines on the shopfloor do not support this protocol making secure communication difficult.
The Machine Protocol Gateway is a hardware and software solution that enables network communications to machines using SMB V3.
Rather than leaving the machines with no file sharing capabilities or compromising network security by being connected, the Machine Protocol Gateway provides a straightforward way to support SMB V3 without changes to the existing machine controls.
The Machine Protocol Gateway has:
High degree of ruggedness
Compact design
External RS232/RS422/RS485, Ethernet, DP and USB interfaces
Internal interfaces for Arduino Shield and Mini PCIe card
Freely programmable interfaces
Maintenance free
Simple solution to enhance network security by enabling SMB V3.
Install a Machine Protocol Gateway inside the machine cabinet and connect power.
Establish connectivity between the Machine Protocol Gateway and the network on one end, and the machine on the other end.
Restore network communication between the network drive and the machine to enable smooth data transfer.
