Hi everyone,

What is the best option that you recommend based on your experience to acquire data from different PLC protocols (Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP, Profinet, etc.) that arrive at a node (PC/Workstation) and send it to Cumulocity IoT?

Do you have the link to download Cumulocity IoT On-Premise? I can’t find the installer.

Thank you very much to all! 😃

Hi Anthony,

Lots of options here:

There are build in services that do not require any 3rd party hardware you can find here:

[https://cumulocity.com/guides/protocol-integration/overview](https://cumulocity.com/guides/protocol-integration/overview)

Our open source initiative [thin-edge.io](http://thin-edge.io) is a great piece of software for integrating any sort of device (even some embedded, due to the cross compilation capabilities of rust):

For ease of use you can choose from a variety of hardware device that do support cumulocity ioT ootb.:
