S7-system components for industrial automation technology
The range of INSEVIS- product families enables an integrated solution and easy to handle for small and medium automation application ith
latest technology, very high quality level and ith additional interfaces like CANopen® and Modbus, to be configured easily.
The easy integration of INSEVIS-products into the S7- orld mean hile is famous and exemplary. Complex communication settings ill be
assigned easily and intuitively, so that these properties expand the common S7- orld by far. A large and multilingual visualization in a modern
design is done by a fe clicks and the ork flo is kno n by every WinCCflex user. It can be simulated on the visualization PC and is
accessible remote.
The S7-CPUs -V and -P are the base of the successfully INSEVIS product families ith Profibus DP Master/Slave.
With the ne S7-CPU-T Panel-PLCs and Compact-PLCs are available ith Profinet IO Controller.
Step®7-Programma ility
INSEVIS-S7-CPUs are programmable by STEP 7® - AWL, KOP, FUP, S7-SCL, S7-Graph from Siemens and in general command-compatible to
Siemens-CPU S7-315-2PNDP. Some special INSEVIS blocks expand the functionality and allo outstanding solutions. The S7-programming
ill be done by good kno n tools SIMATIC®-Manager or by TIA-Portal® from Siemens al ays.
Independence
INSEVIS-PLCs and HMIs does not base on Windo s or Linux, they have an o n firm are. Thereby the hard- and soft are can be exactly
designed for a perfect co-ordination ith this firm are and a lo po er consumption. Booting times of less than 4 seconds and completely no
soft are licenses and a current drain of <100mA @ 24V are the result of these facts.
Get your software rid of licenses
INSEVIS stands for a clear and honest license policy, hat gives the customer sustainable cost benefits. Because of the o nership of BIOS,
firm are and PC-soft are for visualization, configuration and remote access INSEVIS can offer its products completely ithout licenses.
Made in Germany
Development, PCB-design and -production, test and mounting of all INSEVIS-products - all this is made in Germany. So every product is a
proof for the combination of German engineering and economy and is available ith a certification of German origin.
INSEVIS operates a yearly certified
quality management system ref. to DIN
EN ISO 9001.
All suppliers of INSEVIS obligate to this
quality management and contribute to
the high quality level of INSEVIS-
products.
Already during planning these families
one goal as indicated as most
important: to design highest quality and
ergonomics into all products.

INSEVIS-S7-IIoT-Gateway – compati le ut independent up to the cloud
INSEVIS is kno n for independent and sustainable solutions in the S7- orld. With the IIoT-gate ays these experience
should be broadened to the „Industrial Internet of Things“ or „Industry 4.0“. The large kno -ho for S7-technology,
combined ith most modern security-, communication- and operation philosophy allo optimal combination of S7-
solutions ith the big-data- orld on one side and, secure connections bet een S7-islands completely ithout a portal
or a cloud.
Referring to the „Reference architecture model Industry 4.0 – RAMI4.0“ INSEVIS supplies all configuration shells
onboard, so that a single bro ser is enough to assign and configure all the settings. But not for anyone, because a
sophisticated user management cares for a considerably protection and allo s released connections only. External
access is possible by openVPN in a safe ay. An internal project and version management guarantees a better
overvie .
With huge projections by the implemented „NodeRed“ you can let you imagination run; create t eeds, emails or
convert text to speech and get it read to you by an artificial voice. The integrated project- and version management
cares for a better overvie or backups of previous versions.

•Connect LAN-interface of the IIoT-Gate ay (Do not mix it ith the WAN-interface)
ith the LAN- interface of your computer.
•Assign your PC an IP-address in the subnet of the IIoT-Gate ay (for example 192.168.80.65).
•For the first configuration of the IIoT-Gate ay open a compatible bro ser
(see technical data sheet) in your computer. and enter the IP-address of the IIoT-Gate ay
•If the bro ser informs about a security risk, add an exceptional rule.
The login credentials for the first login are
Name admin
Pass ord admin
ATTENTION:
The Admin-pass ord must be changed for security reasons immediately after first login!
Change no the IP-address of the IIoT-Gate ay as ritten belo :
•Navigate to : System / Network and
•insert at LAN Address a ne IP-address, hich fits into your local net.
•By Save to device (lo er right) the ne settings ill be applied.

•Press button “Restore” in „Restore factory settings“ field.
•All ill be reset and user data ill be deleted completely.
•The IIoT-Gate ay is no empty and available at 192.168.80.60 ith login „admin“ and pass ord „admin“.
Update firmware
Hint: Create a backup before start to update the firm are!
In general, ho ever, all settings - unless it is a ne or modified function - are retained.
Requirement:
•Internet connection via WAN-port and DHCP-server
During the update, the WAN port is reconfigured via DHCP (!) regardless of any settings made before.
Update in service-mode :
In Service Mode, the WAN port is temporarily s itched to DHCP, regardless of the settings in Run Mode.
This allo s to check
•in the bro ser ith "Check for updates"
hether the INSEVIS update server is accessible and hich version is kept there.
If the update server cannot be reached, the update process should NOT be started either, because the IIoT Gate ay ill then
never again be accessible via the eb interface.
Start the update:
•in the bro ser at “Update Firmware”
update in run-mode
If an update is to take place ithout physical access to the device, the update can and must be started in run mode.
It must be ensured, ho ever, that the IIoT Gate ay gets Internet access via DHCP over the WAN port mentioned above -
regardless of current WAN Port settings.
Even in run mode, the INSEVIS update server can be checked for ne versions:
•in the bro ser at „System“ - „Backup and Update“ - and „Check for updates“
Ho ever, the current WAN settings are used (valid settings assumed). This does not tell us hether the update server can be
found in update mode.
Start the update:
•in the bro ser at "System” - „Backup and Update“ - „Update Firmware“
update procedure:
•The IIoT Gate ay is thus set to firm are update mode and boots a standard configuration ith DHCP on the WAN port
and loads the firm are via it (i.e. the settings under System - Net ork are irrelevant)
•The yello LED flashes for ~5..10 min about 50x in irregular speed.
(Devices delivered from Sept. 2020 on additionally flash green ith ~ 1 Hz)
•When the update is completed the IIoT Gate ay ill boot back into run or service mode, depending on the s itch
position.
i.e. RUN = green LED permanently on / SRV = yello LED permanently on
ATTENTION:
If the WAN net ork also randomly operates in the address range 192.168.80.0, the LAN and WAN port of the
IIoT gate ay must be connected to the net ork.

the device communicates in the
internal net ork
(This Config interface is only
available in the LAN net ork)
LAN port netmask,
matching the LAN subnet
default: 255.255.255.0
The name server is required for
all URLs that are not (numeric)
IP addresses.
Usually the internet router is
also name server.
Specifies in hich net ork the
above mentioned gate ay is
located.
(MUST match the above
gate ay IP address)
something tricky:
When the IoT Gate ay sends data, the LAN or WAN address and the destination address are logically ANDed ith the
respective MASK. If the result is identical, the data is sent on the respective LAN or WAN port.
Other ise, the data ill be for arded to the set gate ay.
This definition of mutually exclusive IP address ranges separates WAN and LAN.
The addresses of LAN and WAN MUST differ ithin the defined masks.
Other ise, no assignment is possible and all data is sent via the LAN connection.
