Secure remote maintenance of machines
The TC Cloud Client remote maintenance modules from Phoenix Con-
tact connect machines to the mGuard Secure Cloud securely over the
Internet. The clients provide an inexpensive basis for scalable remote
maintenance of machines. Customers have the choice of TC Cloud Cli-
ents, which use the operator network, and variants which use the world-
wide 4G-LTE mobile network for Cloud communication. The clients are
configured with the help of the Cloud and are ready immediately for use
in the machine.
The mGuard Secure Cloud constitutes a high-performance, scalable
VPN infrastructure which connects service personnel with machines and
systems via the Internet. The professional
data center ensures a high degree of relia-
bility and availability in terms of the service
for machines and systems. The integrated
mGuard VPN technology uses the IPsec se-
curity protocol with strong encryption. This
ensures the confidentiality, authenticity, and
integrity of all information and data transmit-
ted between the service technicians and the
machines. The TC Cloud Clients have one
digital input and one output. As a result, ser-
vice connections to the Cloud can be made
and signalled as required.
