Edge Connections Complete Industrial Integration Reference
Article Type: Reference Audience: Solution Architects, OT Engineers, Controls Engineers, Integration Specialists, Partners Module: Edge Connectivity & Edge Gateway Applies to Versions: Fuuz 2026.2+
Every industrial device, controller, SCADA system, and shop floor platform can connect to Fuuz through the Edge Gateway and its native industrial protocol drivers. This reference catalogs every major MES, SCADA, historian, PLC, robot, sensor, and industrial gateway platform with protocol support details, Fuuz native driver status, and known integration concerns.
The Edge Gateway is a proprietary on-premise software agent that provides bidirectional communication between Fuuz cloud and local industrial equipment. Key capabilities include:
- Remote Configuration: Once installed, all configuration is done remotely from the Fuuz Platform — no VPN or RDP access required.
- Auto-Updates: The gateway automatically updates to the latest version without manual intervention.
- Store-and-Forward: Values are stored locally during network interruptions and forwarded when connectivity resumes.
Note: Edge vs. Cloud Connectivity: The Edge Gateway handles on-premise and shop floor integration (PLCs, SCADA, sensors, databases). For cloud-based SaaS and enterprise application connectivity (ERP, CRM, eCommerce), refer to the companion article: Fuuz Cloud Connectors: Complete Integration Reference.

| Manufacturer | Sensor Types | Fuuz Connection Path | Concerns / Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balluff | Position, pressure, temperature, IO-Link masters | Gateway OPCUA + EtherNet/IP + Modbus | IO-Link masters bridge sensors to EtherNet/IP or OPC UA — Fuuz drivers connect at the master level. |

The following protocols require an intermediate gateway or adapter to translate to a Fuuz-supported protocol (OPC UA, MQTT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, or HTTP):
Important: These protocols are not directly supported by Edge Gateway drivers. Each requires a third-party bridge or gateway to convert to a Fuuz-compatible protocol. The recommended bridge paths below have been validated in production environments. We have roadmap objectives to cover some of the items below — if they're critical to your deployment, they would be prioritized.
| Protocol | Common In | Recommended Bridge |
|---|---|---|
| PROFINET | Siemens, European manufacturing | HMS Anybus, Hilscher, or Siemens OPC UA server → Fuuz OPCUA driver |
| PROFIBUS | Legacy Siemens, process industry | HMS Anybus or PROFIBUS-to-Modbus gateway → Fuuz Modbus driver |

| IEC 61850 | Power utility substation | IEC 61850-to-OPC UA gateway → Fuuz OPCUA driver |
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ✓ | Fuuz has a native Edge Gateway driver that directly supports this protocol. No additional software or middleware required. |
| Gateway Driver Name | Fuuz can connect using its native gateway drivers, but the specific system/device may require configuration, enablement of options, or firmware versions that support the protocol. |
| Via cloud Connector Name | Connection is through a Fuuz cloud connector rather than the Edge Gateway — suitable for cloud-hosted or API-accessible systems. |
| ✗ | Protocol or system not supported — requires third-party gateway/adapter to bridge to a Fuuz-supported protocol. |
| — | Not applicable or protocol not relevant for this system. |
