ABB - IoT Smart Communication Card: link to the cloud
Digitalisation a thing of the future? Well no, digitalisation is everywhere. Surely everyone wants to be part of this development? That is now easily possible with the IoT Smart Communication Card from ABB.
The IoT Smart Communication Card allows systems to connect to the third-party cloud via MQTT, OPC UA or https. The IoT Smart Communication Card offers seamless integration of smart contactors via ABB Novolink™ and all standard Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP components. This link to the cloud provides the security, speed and efficiency users desire.
Easy configuration
The IoT Smart Communication Card is easy to configure. The included Node Red low-code programming and pythoing scripts can be used to develop logic, APIs and connectivity to cloud-based systems to create smart, digitally connected applications. By default, tags are present on the device. For commissioning, it suffices to select the OPC tags the user wants to visualise and log. In daily practice, this ensures the necessary ease of use.
Secure, fast and compact
In a world where cybercrime seems to be the order of the day, digitally connected systems must be and stay safe and secure. The IoT Smart Communication Card protects companies against cyber threats with standard integrated cyber security features. For example, OPC UA communication can be authenticated and encrypted. This makes the system more resistant to cyber attacks. And because OPC UA is more than just an industrial automation protocol, the high security does not compromise flexibility. OPC UA contains an extensible information model that makes it very attractive to many markets.
Space in panels and switchboards is becoming increasingly scarce due to increasing digitisation rates and multiple components. Therefore, smart use of available space is not always easy. The IoT Smart Communication Card is compact and offers ample opportunity to optimise space usage on panels.
Besides optimal use of space, the IoT Smart Communication Card also guarantees short installation times. Thanks to optimised numbers of wiring connections and installation methods, the IoT Smart Communication Card can be installed efficiently and effectively. The user-friendly web tool not only simplifies the configuration and commissioning of the communication card but also speeds up projects in the process.
Easy to integrate
The IoT Smart Communication Card can be integrated with Novolink to make data available to cloud-based environments. For example, the Novolink™ modules make it easy to digitise motor start solutions and provide insight into connected loads. With the Novolink modules, more is possible than measuring and recording. The modules also enable predictive maintenance to reduce downtime and increase efficiency.

Sekisui AlveoRead moreFoam producer Sekisui Alveo has a large factory in Roermond. To support production and maintenance, warehouses and distribution points with thousands of different items are spread across the various halls. Think spare parts, personal protection equipment and consumables. The company cooperates intensively with itsme for management, such as recently with the step-by-step introduction of vendor managed inventory (VMI) for the grab stock of mechanical items.
-
IECRead moreTo control the expansion of a silo park, engineering & construction company IEC called on Breemes. Being involved in the engineering from the beginning, the electrical service provider was able to make smart proposals for both the low-voltage part and the PLC control. ‘We have always been able to find each other well and when changes occurred, we were quickly on the same page with Breemes.’
-
Heliox - Charged for DeliveryRead moreHeliox, a developer and manufacturer of charging systems for electric buses and trucks, was already working with itsme when production still took place in the Netherlands. Today, production has shifted to Slovakia, Portugal, and Moldova, and is also happening in the US. itsme remains the “irreplaceable” partner for the supply of electrical components and cable harnesses.
-
BLOK System SupplyRead moreBlok System Supply and itsme have maintained an intensive relationship for many years. Early last year, this was further deepened with electronic data exchange via the Smart Connected Supplier Network. ‘It saves an enormous amount of time and reduces errors. We always have real-time information automatically.’ However, time for personal contact is not saved. ‘That is precisely what makes itsme a very nice party to work with.’
