The Siemens 6GK1411-5AC00 SIMATIC CloudConnect 7 CC716 is an IoT gateway that connects automation devices to cloud services and OPC UA over 2x RJ45 Industrial Ethernet ports plus one MPI/PROFIBUS port. It reads S7, S7-Plus, OPC UA and Modbus and publishes via MQTT, HTTP or OPC UA, supporting up to 7 lower-level devices and 3500 data points per device.
Against the single-device CC712, the CC716 adds an MPI/PROFIBUS port and raises the lower-level device count to 7 and the data-point ceiling to 3500, so it fits a cell with several PLCs or a mixed Ethernet/PROFIBUS layout rather than one standalone controller. Its OPC UA server takes up to 10 client connections against a 4500-variable limit, roughly triple the CC712's headroom, which matters more than the port count once tag volume grows.
