About uaGate SI Intended use The uaGate SI is a gateway for Siemens controllers. It has been designed to integrate OPC UA server functionality in new and existing plants for easy and secure data connectivity with higher-level management systems, such as ERP, MES or SCADA. With the MQTT...
Note Do not open the housing of the uaGate SI. It does not contain any parts that need to be maintained or repaired. In the event of a fault or defect, remove the device and return it to the vendor. Opening the device will void the warranty!
Hardware installation Mounting and dismounting Note Make sure the uaGate SI is mounted in a manner that the power supply disconnecting device or interrupt facility can always be reached easily. Note Depending on the installation position, the maximum ambient operating temperature may differ.

Ga te SI - Qui ck Sta rtup Gui de Mounting Hook the upper notch of the cut-out on the back of the uaGate SI into a 35 mm DIN rail. Press the uaGate SI down towards the rail until it slides into place over the lip of the locking bar.
Description Redundant positive supply voltage Positive supply voltage Functional Earth Ground CAUTION The Functional Earth (FE) connection of the device has to be connected at low inductance with the Protective Earth (PE) of the system. Copyright Softing Industrial Automation GmbH...
Ga te SI - Qui ck Sta rtup Gui de Connecting to the network The uaGate SI is equipped with two 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface receptacle (RJ45). The ports correspond to the IEEE 802.3: IT for connecting to the it network (the upper part in the diagram)
Cha pter 3 - Ha rdwa re i ns ta l l a ti on Using a single common network If there is only one (logical) network, it is recommended to connect the uaGate SI only via the Ethernet interface of the IT side with the network. In this case, the Ethernet interface of the machine side should be disabled by setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0 and the subnet...
The micro SD card is not included in the delivery. When selecting an SD card bear in mind the range of the operating temperature of the uaGate SI. The storage capacity of the micro SD card may not exceed 32GB.
Cha pter 3 - Ha rdwa re i ns ta l l a ti on Resetting the device If the uaGate SI cannot be reached in the event of a configuration error, the device can be reset to default factory settings by pressing the reset button at the bottom of the front panel.
DHCP. Depending on the configuration of your local DHCP- and DNS-servers it is possible to reach the device by this host name in your network. The uaGate SI supports the network connection protocol UPnP (Universal Plug And Play) for Windows. MAC, Linux und Android use Avahi/Zeroconf, the Zero Configuration network implementation protocol which identifies the gateway as an HTTPs server.

<hostname>. (*) 4. The login window appears (*) The uaGate SI support the HTTPs protocol, which provide a secure and encrypted transfer of sensitive data such as passwords so the data cannot be read by another network user. In addition, HTTPs uses a certificate to identify the server. At Softing we use the OPC UA server certificate that has been generated before the last reboot.
Completing your configuration To complete your configuration, you need to configure: time settings IT settings machine settings including symbol import For detailed information see the online help in the web server application. Copyright Softing Industrial Automation GmbH...
