Your benefits at a glance

Establish multiple connections to remote devices

One of the most dashing features of the Secomea solution is the ability to connect via Layer 2 protocols to remote devices. In this way (traditionally) local low-level MAC address communications between programming software (e.g., Siemens TIA portal) and PLCs are provided via LinkManager, together with fully global connectivity.

In previous Secomea solution versions, Layer 2 support was limited to devices on the DEV 1 port of a 15xx/35xx model SiteManager. The Secomea solution 9.6 enables you to define Layer 2 agents for up to three unique networks when selecting separation modes for DEV ports 1 to 3. Moreover, you can connect multiple LinkManager users to the same Layer2 agent with isolation between each remote access session. In addition, LinkManager users can connect multiple Layer 2 agents on SiteManager at the same time using the Group Agent feature.

Also, the default bridging mode capability has been enhanced to support VLAN tag forwarding between bridged ports. This enables SiteManager to support communication between devices in a VLAN segmented network.

Upgrade the solution’s firmware with a single click

If you are running your GateManager on your private servers, you’ll upgrade your solution even easier than before. Namely, GateManager automatically detects and fetches new firmware for connected SiteManagers, along with GateManager’s own firmware upgrades. This allows you to always have the latest bug fixes and security patches available. Moreover, you can take advantage of Secomea’s latest features without searching the Knowledge Base for the latest release.

When a software update is detected, GateManager shows an upgrade button for any Secomea product. Single-clicking the “upgrade” button will provide your devices to install and run the latest releases.

As you may have your own processes for managing upgrades, GateManager does not update with new firmware automatically. It contains the option to schedule bulk upgrades, which you can arrange to fit suitable timeslot.
