atvise® connect X

The multi-protocol software solution enables the secure connection of Siemens S7 controllers.

With atvise® connect X 1.0, Bachmann presents the successor to the proven atvise® connect. The multi-protocol software solution enables the secure connection of Siemens S7 controllers with symbolic addressing and online browsing as well as Modbus TCP clients. This simplifies the integration of a wide variety of system components.

As an embedded product of the atvise® family, connect X supports both automated and manual operating processes in native, virtual, and container environments. The modern API-based architecture accelerates mass engineering and allows seamless integration into existing atvise® projects. Particularly practical: data points can be generated dynamically at runtime or configured directly in atvise®, which significantly reduces development times.

A central focus is on security: atvise® connect X meets essential requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act through encrypted data exchange with Siemens S7 controllers and password-based authentication. In addition, Modbus Secure (TLS-based Modbus TCP) is implemented for all supported clients, which significantly increases network security in traditional and modern SCADA environments. A new diagnostic model enables precise fault source identification and proactive monitoring of connection quality in real time.

The solution adapts flexibly to different network topologies and integrates seamlessly into systems. For operators of machines and plants, atvise® connect X thus offers efficient, secure, and standards-compliant networking. The combination of native control connection, advanced security, and high flexibility enables dynamic digitization of the plants—while meeting strict cybersecurity requirements.
