Security
Built to sit safely beside your control systems.
Zerowatt reads your plant data. It never writes to your control systems. Here’s how we connect and how we protect it.
- Read-onlyNothing is written to your PLCs, SCADA or DCS.
- On-premises optionZerowatt can run inside your own network.
- ISO 27001 certifiedInformation security management.
How it connects
Read-only, by design.
- Connection
- An edge gateway on site reads the plant over Modbus, OPC UA, BACnet, SQL, 4–20 mA, pulse and digital inputs, with local backup through an outage.
- Direction
- Read-only. Nothing is written to control systems.
- Network
- The edge gateway makes outbound connections only. No inbound ports are opened on the plant network.
- Existing systems
- Works alongside DCS, SCADA, PLCs, historians, EMS, MES / SAP and LIMS. Nothing to replace.
