Sign into Dashboard

Device Types

Manage and monitor device properties and connection status.

The Devices table shows all devices added to the dashboard. Devices are the physical hardware that powers your system, like PLCs or remote sensors.

When adding a device, you’ll be presented with a Add Device table to enter a name for the device, add a description, and assign a Client ID number. Connected devices can be assigned to different projects within the program.

Once the device is added to Nimbus808, it will be listed in a Devices table. The Device table is your access point to edit, delete, and monitor connected devices.

Any device that supports MQTT client can be connected to a Nimbus808 project, this includes PLCs, cameras, sensors, and industrial gateway products designed to act as protocol converters. Once connected devices are set-up, Nimbus808 acts as a broker and will push the data to a dashboard. The dashboard can be accessed by anyone with the URL and login/security access.

Industrial gateways, like Maple Systems’ cMT-G01 supports 400+ protocols and will convert your existing PLC communication protocol into MQTT allowing you to access the IoT with any (almost) device.
