The tManager industrial PC (IPC) is designed for users that don’t have a spare PLC slot to directly connect PLCs to upstream SQL databases and cloud-based services to leverage IT dashboards, analytics and business metrics. It supports MQTT connections to cloud applications. The tManager IPC also helps Siemens PLC users that don’t have Rockwell PLCs or have a mixture of Rockwell and Siemens PLCs. The tManager does not require any modifications to PLC logic to read tags for performance monitoring. Like its PLC module counterpart, tManager IPC requires no coding or OPC protocol translation and setup can be completed in 10 minutes.
