CXS UniCOM Edge Device

Introducing the CXS UniCOM

The CXS UniCOM Edge Device Software is a new generation of edge-to-cloud or edge-to-control-center integration. The key features are:

  • Rapid and efficient onboarding
  • High performance and secure data transport
  • Multi protocol support

CXS UniCOM Overview:

The CXS UniCOM Edge Device Software operates in these fields:

  • Building automation / facilities management
  • Data centers
  • Energy monitoring
  • Network monitoring
  • Occupancy

 

The CXS UniCOM Edge explores the local network

The CXS UniCOM Edge Device Software reduces cost by eliminating elaborate engineering work on-site. As soon as it is connected to the local network it discovers devices, functionality and objects. This data is pushed as a unified model to the cloud or control center/private cloud using the highest security and encryption methods. 

Remote Management

The entire application building process can be administered remotely. The CXS UniCOM data is consumed by the CXS Application Generators to provide the same automatic application building features as on premise. Protocols and components can be added to the CXS UniCOM on the fly without interrupting communications. The following protocol modules are currently available:

  • BACnet
  • LON
  • Modbus
  • Snmp
  • OPC UA (connect to any OPC UA enabled PLC)
  • Occupancy (EnOcean)

The following additional functional modules are available:

  • UniCOM scheduler (schedule across protocols)
  • UniCOM calulation module (user defined mathematical functions)
  • UniCOM protocol converter (convert protocol data i.e. BACnet to Modbus)
  • Local dashboard

The following additional cloud or control center components are available:

  • UniCOM Control Center
  • UniCOM Server
  • UniCOM Application Generators
  • AWS Lambda/IoT services

Support for industrial communication standards

The CXS UniCOM supports multiple communication standards to clients:

  • MQTT
  • SparkPlug
  • Json (encrypted)
  • VPN
  • WebServices
  • OPC DA for legacy systems

Support for multiple hardware platforms

The CXS UniCOM can run on your IPC hardware. Installing a CXS UniCOM image is as easy as plugging in a USB stick. The following configurations are supported: 

  • Full IPC image
  • Docker
  • Linux
  • Virtual machine under Windows
 

The CXS UniCOM Edge Device qualifies as an appliance allowing installation in IT secured field networks. 

Summary

The CXS UniCOM Edge Software enables the system integrator or end customer to significantly reduce costs in developing large distributed applications. At the same time the automatic application model generator builds robust and error free systems eliminating a long stabilization and trouble shooting phase with highly trained engineers. Simply connecting a standard UniCOM inflates a rich data pool with Meta data in context driving traditional supervisory applications as well as AI and machine learning systems.
