OptixEdge Standard supports FactoryTalk Optix, Remote Access and Docker containers. Its preinstalled Optix app can collect your data and send it to the cloud.
Get the benefits of FactoryTalk® Optix™ and FactoryTalk® Remote Access™ without rearchitecting your automation system. OptixEdge Advanced Edge Gateway features a preloaded wizard to set up connections from your control system to the cloud using MQTT, as well as the option to develop your own application to gather, process and visualize data at the edge. By adding this compact book mount device to your control system, users can set up a secure connectivity to almost any automation network with purpose-built protocol drivers.
Streamlined data collection from various sources
Connect to your plant network via the LAN port to collect data from heterogeneous systems
Interface seamlessly with most common automation protocols
Exchange data with higher-level systems using the full OPC UA with Companion Specs
Ideal for both new (greenfield) and existing (brownfield) installations, including scenarios where the 1756-EEC module cannot be used
Reduce engineering effort and standardize your solution across different use cases
Built-in FactoryTalk Optix Wizard for cloud-ready data flows
Use the web-based wizard, accessible through any browser, to configure your data flows quickly. Collect real-time data directly from control equipment and integrate to your dashboards and analytics platforms through MQTT, with no additional software required.

Maximize resource efficiency while maintaining the flexibility to adapt or scale as needed
Enable modular, maintainable solutions that can evolve with your project or plant requirements
Improved operational efficiency through secure remote access
Establish a secure VPN connection using FactoryTalk® Remote Access™ and Rockwell Automation’s cloud infrastructure
Remotely commission, program, troubleshoot, or update the OptixEdge and connected devices via the WAN port
Physically lock the WAN port using a DC input to disable external access when not required
Connect a DC pilot device or tower light to monitor active remote connections with clear visual indicators
Edge Value Drivers in Manufacturing
Monitoring and Control
Allows for immediate data processing and decision making on the plant floor, which is crucial for applications like safety monitoring or real-time quality control
Predictive Maintenance
By analyzing data from machinery and equipment locally, the ability to predict when maintenance is needed quickly results in reduced downtime
Enhanced Automation
Supports advanced automation by enabling faster data processing and communication between machines
Data Filtering and Contextualization
Provides the ability to filter and contextualize raw data before sending it to the cloud, which reduces the amount of data being transmitted. Additionally, transmitting less data to the cloud can provide cost savings
Improved Security and Compliance
Processing data locally helps protect sensitive information and ensures compliance and adheres to regulations for specific industries
