32bit ARM extension for container-based industrial controllers
Softing Industrial has added ARM 32bit compatibility into its container-based edgeConnector products in response to increasing demand.
Previously, edgeConnector Docker container software was only available for integration into large PCs. In June last year, the integration of ARM 64bit was successfully implemented. Version 3.80 of edgeConnector also offers ARM 32bit support for compact hardware.

The Docker-based software modules of the edgeConnector product family enable access to process data in Siemens SIMATIC S7, edgeConnector SINUMERIK 840D and Modbus TCP controllers. The Docker containers allow the functionality to be deployed quickly, run on standard hardware, and can be easily managed centrally. They provide users with a straightforward and secure way to integrate data from production into innovative and flexible industrial IoT solutions.
“The introduction of ARM 32bit compatibility in our edgeConnector products marks an important step in our innovation strategy,” said Abel Jimenez, Product Manager at Softing Industrial.
“This development opens up the possibility for our customers to use our solutions in a wider range of devices for edge applications, such as WAGO Compact Controller 100, WAGO PFC 200, and Open-Source Hardware Boards like Allwinner A20. We remain committed to providing the most advanced and flexible solutions for the changing needs of the industrial environment.”
