Connect your PLC to the cloud —without changing its schedule

The Eziwan Gateway reads the Modbus registers from your Siemens, Schneider, or Allen-Bradley PLC and pushes the data to AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, or any MQTT broker—without touching a single line of code in the PLC. Deployment takes less than 5 minutes.

Features

Comprehensive cloud connectivity,
no PLC modifications

Eziwan Gateway is the connectivity layer between your existing PLCs and the cloud of your choice—without modifying the PLC code and without the need for a middleware integrator.

Reading Modbus Data Without Modifying the PLC

The gateway connects to the PLC as a standard Modbus master—in read-only mode. Your Holding (4x), Input (3x), Coils (0x), and Discrete Inputs (1x) registers are polled cyclically. No impact on the PLC cycle time, no program modifications required. Compatible with all PLCs equipped with a Modbus RTU or TCP interface.

Send MQTT messages to any broker

Publish your data to AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, Google Cloud IoT, HiveMQ, EMQX, or your self-hosted Mosquitto broker. Configurable JSON format (flat, nested, Sparkplug B). QoS 0, 1, or 2. TLS authentication via certificate or username/password. Automatic reconnection with a 72-hour local buffer in case of an outage.

Transparent OPC-UA Gateway

For PLCs equipped with an OPC-UA server (Siemens S7-1500, Beckhoff TwinCAT, Codesys), the OpenVPN/IPSec VPN tunnel makes the remote OPC-UA server accessible as if it were on your local network. Your OPC-UA client connects to the tunnel’s IP address exactly as it would on a local network—without a proxy or protocol conversion.

Embedded REST API

A comprehensive REST API is available directly on the gateway for custom integrations. Use the GET /api/variables endpoint to read all values in real time, GET /api/history for historical data, and POST /api/write to write logs (with authentication). OpenAPI documentation is available via the gateway’s web interface.

Zero-Touch Provisioning

The gateway can be fully configured from the Eziwan cloud—without SSH access or on-site visits. From the portal, you can modify the list of Modbus variables, the polling interval, the MQTT destination, and the alert rules. Changes are applied in real time via the VPN tunnel. Ideal for gateway fleets deployed at your customers’ sites.

Automatic Dual SIM Failover

Two independent SIM slots with automatic failover in less than 8 seconds if the primary carrier goes down. Multi-carrier compatibility: SFR, Orange, Bouygues, Free (France), and international networks. Eziwan multi-carrier SIM included with roaming in 180 countries. Real-time signal quality monitoring with automatic alerts in case of signal degradation.

How It Works

From Industrial Control Systems to the Cloud in 4 Steps

No programming, no PLC modifications—just a guided setup in just a few clicks.

01

Connect the RS-485 or Ethernet gateway

Connect the RS-485 cable to the COM port on your PLC (for Modbus RTU) or an RJ45 Ethernet cable to the PLC's LAN port (for Modbus TCP). Mount the gateway on a DIN rail and connect it to a 9–36 V DC power supply. The connection is plug-and-play: no network configuration is required on the PLC side.

02

Mapping Modbus Registers

In the Eziwan web interface, create the list of variables to read: Modbus slave number, register address, type (Holding/Input/Coil), data type (INT16, UINT16, FLOAT32, BOOL), unit, and scale factor. Import directly from an Excel spreadsheet if you already have your variable mapping.

03

Configure the MQTT or REST destination

Enter the URL of your MQTT broker (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, Mosquitto, etc.), the TLS port, and your credentials. Select the JSON format for your payloads and the topic structure. Alternatively, enable the embedded REST API and query the gateway from your business application via HTTP.

View in your dashboard

Your data is sent to your cloud or to the Eziwan portal. Create your monitoring dashboard from the Eziwan portal, or integrate the MQTT data into your own application (Grafana, Tableau, Power BI, Node-RED, etc.). Historical data is available via the REST API.

Use Cases

Connect the PLC to the cloud:
three field scenarios

Migrating an Existing SCADA System to the Cloud

Your industrial SCADA system (Wonderware, Ignition, Citect) is already collecting your data, but it remains siloed on the OT network. Eziwan Gateway creates a Modbus → MQTT bridge to send this data to your analytics cloud (Datadog, InfluxDB, Azure) without replacing the SCADA system or modifying the PLCs.

Machine Manufacturer — Customer Telemetry

You manufacture machines and sell them to your customers. Integrate the Eziwan Gateway at the time of delivery: as soon as the machine is connected, you’ll receive telemetry data (operating hours, alarms, part counters) on your cloud platform. Initiate preventive maintenance before a breakdown occurs and improve future versions using real-world field data.

Real-Time Data Feed for ERP/MES

Your ERP (SAP, Oracle) or MES is waiting for production data that your PLCs have but aren’t sharing. Eziwan Gateway reads the counters (units produced, scrap, energy consumption) and pushes them directly via MQTT or REST API to your ERP—without a costly integration project or additional OPC-UA middleware.
