SIMATIC IOT2050
IOT Gateway for the acquisition, pre-processing and storage of machine and production data
The smart ARM® based IoT gateway SIMATIC IOT2050 is ideal for retrofitting and makes existing plants and machines IIoT-capable in a simple and cost-efficient way. It connects different data sources, harmonizes communication between them, analyzes the data and forwards it for evaluation, e.g. to a local ERP system or a cloud.
Reliable, open platform designed for the acquisition, processing and transfer of data directly in the production environment.
It is ideally suited for use as a gateway between the cloud or company IT level and production.
The openness of the system in supporting numerous communication protocols and programming in high-level languages enables tailored solutions.
Openness for industrial IOT applications
- Wide range of options for programming in high-level languages
- Implementation of flexible communication solutions with different protocols, from Modbus RTU, OPC UA to cloud protocols such as MQTT/AMQP
- Use of open source application examples and libraries
- SIMATIC Industrial OS, via OSD + free “ISAR” Debian via download
SIMATIC IOT2050 Variants
SIMATIC IOT2050 SM
- With the SIMATIC IOT2050 SM variant, data from the field level can be easily recorded directly via S7-1200 I/O modules without a controller. The high-performance system with 4 GB DDR4 RAM is ideal for use in wide temperature ranges from -20 to +50 °C.
SIMATIC IOT2050 M.2
- With the SIMATIC IOT2050 M.2 variant, the gateway can be easily expanded e.g. to include radio cards via the variant-specific M.2 slot or data storage modules like M.2 SSD.

Application
The combined utilization of machine and production data opens up a wide range of possible applications – the SIMATIC IOT2050 as a freely-programmable data gateway can establish the interface between the field and the IT/cloud. It can harmonize communication between the various sources of data before analyzing it and forwarding it to the appropriate recipients.
The SIMATIC IOT2050 can constitute an easy to retrofit, cost-efficient solution. This easy-to-implement solution facilitates the realization of future-oriented production concepts on already existing systems.
Application examples:
- Connection of additional sensors, and data collection and transfer in existing systems in order to identify optimisation potential
- Acquisition of machine data, such as motor performance indicators, for analysis in order to derive preventive maintenance concepts
- Coherence and harmonisation of communication from and between different machines and automation components
