The FieldEdge connects the field to the Netilion Cloud. The FieldEdge is installed in a cabinet

in an automation system and permanently connected to the field network and, via a second

transmitted to the Netilion Cloud via the Internet connection.
The Hauser software offers the following:

• Read-only connection to field devices via a variety of fieldbus protocols and field gateways.

Optional field device write accesses are documented in Netilion Services and require user

confirmation.

• Data processing and encrypted transmission of data exclusively to the Netilion Cloud.

• Specific data acquisition for the digital services the user has subscribed to in Netilion.

• Automatic updates run in the background: security updates, software modifications and

functional enhancements.
