Product overviewnetFIELD Edge devices act as intelligent IT/OT edge gateways for IIoT and Industry 4.0 applications. They collect, process and forward operational data on-site, host containerized applications and support centralized lifecycle management via the netFIELD Cloud. Built on a security-enhanced Yocto Linux, the devices provide local web configuration and two independent container engines (local/manual and centralized/automatic) to separate local maintenance from remote orchestration.
Highlights- Edge computing platform for on-device data processing and analysis
- Preinstalled OS with Web GUI and dual container engines (local + cloud)
- Supports netFIELD App containers for IT/OT data conversion
- Security features including TPM 2.0 and hardened Linux base
- Centralized remote device and container management (netFIELD Cloud)
- Interfaces for Industrial Ethernet and real-time OT networks
Supported protocols- Ethernet; Industrial Ethernet / real-time fieldbus via netX
