Mervis CloudAccess

• A technology that replaces the use of VPN for remote data communication while minimizing latency.
• The connection is initiated from the PLC to the cloud - communication, therefore, does not require a public IP or port forwarding.
  • An encrypted connection is established to cloudaccess.mervis.info:23010/tcp
• A separate direct encrypted TCP connection is established for each client - internal communication can therefore use an unsecured protocol (e.g., Modbus TCP) without compromising security.

• CloudAccess communication settings are not available on all platforms.

• DetStudio version 3.2.12 and newer

• In the profile for MervisCloud, set the certificate slot. It should point to the slot where the `isrgrootx1.pem` certificate is uploaded. If the customer doesn't know which certificate slot contains the certificate, or if it hasn't been uploaded yet, it can be checked in the Transfer/Certificate Manager tab. Link to the certificate: https://letsencrypt.org/certs/isrgrootx1.pem

• You need to have the CloudAccess package installed (contact technical support to obtain the correct packages for your firmware version).

• RUT9M family (RUT9M_R_… SDK): RUT901, RUT906, RUT951, RUT956
• TRB1 family (TRB1_R_… SDK): TRB140, TRB141, TRB142, TRB143, TRB145

For a 2-Wire Network setup connecting a serial device to the Teltonika RUT906, follow this wiring scheme:

• Wire the device's RxTx- to D_N on the RUT906.
• Wire the device's RxTx+ to D_P on the RUT906.
• Wire the device's GND to GND on the RUT906.
• On the RUT906 terminal block itself, bridge D_N with R_N, and bridge D_P with R_P.
