Siemens Connect Box

Connect Box
CWG.BOX-A, CWG.BOX-NA, CWG.BOX-EU
The Connect Box is a simple, universal, and open IoT solution to connect and
monitor small and medium-sized buildings
● Connects equipment from buildings via plug & play: IoT sensors, meters, heating,
air conditioning, air handling systems, building management systems (BMS).
● Easy and quick to install: Accessible for all. If the building already has a BMS, the
device connects to the main bus as the third party. If there is no BMS, a BMS
network is directly created by the device.
● Telemetry and controls: Collects data and controls equipment.
● Smart converter: Unifies various field communication protocols on one device.
● Web-connected: Automatically connects to the cloud via 3G/4G or ethernet cable.
● Powerful IoT device: Combines the essential functionality of a gateway, a PLC, a
modem, and an edge device.
