SIMATIC IOT2000 SG-Shield
The intelligent interface for the Industrial Internet of Things.
With SIMATIC IOT2000, you can easily connect your machines and plants to IT or the cloud and thereby make your production fit for Industrie 4.0 – for more efficient, transparent, and agile processes.
More transparency over your production.
The intelligent interface for the Industrial Internet of Things:
With SIMATIC IOT2000, you can easily connect your machines and plants to IT or the cloud and thereby make your production fit for Industrie 4.0 – for more efficient, transparent, and agile processes.
The SIMATIC IOT2000 SG-Shield is the simple solution for remotely viewing measured values from load cells based on strain gauges. The load cell cable simply connects directly to the shield. The system digitizes the analog data and sends it to the cloud via the SIMATIC IOT2050 Gateway. This allows you to retrieve the filling levels from your customers at any time and adjust your delivery routes accordingly.
Technical Specifications
Because the SIMATIC IOT2000 SG-Shield is inserted into the SIMATIC IOT2050, the same technical specifications apply as for SIMATIC IOT2050:
- Degree of protection: IP20 in accordance with IEC 60529
- Electromagnetic compatibility
- Ambient conditions

Application
The SIMATIC IOT2000 SG-Shield is supplied with a node-RED software example and all necessary interfaces. This means the system can be put into operation via the Node-RED Dashboard and connected to the cloud. At the same time, the measured values recorded can be stored in MindSphere, our cloud-based, open IoT operating system, for example, and retrieved again with our SITRANS Store IQ app, for example. Of course, you can also connect higher-level office business systems or individual applications for monitoring fill levels, for example to automate order processes or your delivery route planning.
The actual interface to the cloud is provided by our SIMATIC IOT2000 gateway family. The SIMATIC IOT2000 SG-Shield is simply plugged into the device, the necessary software image is loaded onto the Micro SD Card, and your connection to the Internet of Things is already established.
Thanks to integrated open source (Node-RED for connecting IoT components), the measured values do not remain trapped in a closed system, but can also be integrated into any manufacturer-independent system with little programming effort. This offers the user maximum flexibility and openness.
For the OEM sector we have a special variant, which is equipped with an RS 485 interface.
