Planet Engineering "Gateway between cloud, in-company IT and production
Siemens is launching a gateway based on the Intel Quark chip family onto the market which links cloud, in-company IT and production. The Simatic IOT2000 is designed for industrial IT solutions that acquire, process and transfer data directly in the production environment" - “The Simatic IOT2000 is designed for industrial IT solutions that acquire, process and transfer data directly in the production environment. For example, it can be used to connect the production to a cloud-based analysis of machine and production data. This gateway can also be retrofitted in existing plants, where it then harmonizes communication between different data sources, analyzes the data, and passes it on for evaluation in, for example, a cloud. The Simatic IOT2000 complements the MindConnect Nano cloud gateway from Siemens. This is already on the market, and is specifically designed for MindSphere and SAP Hana. The hardware of the new Simatic IOT2000 gateway is based on rugged, reliable and long-lasting industrial technology and has a compact design. The device is suitable for mounting on a standard rail, and is equipped with a powersaving Intel Quark processor x1020 (+Secure Boot), 1 gigabyte RAM, battery-backed real time clock (RTC) and a large number of interfaces, including two x Ethernet and two x RS 232/485 ports. Simatic IOT2000 can be easily expanded for tailor-made solutions with Arduino Shields and miniPCIe Cards. It also supports Yocto Linux and many other options for programming in high-level languages”.

CPU “Model: ESP8266MOD Cloudino, Vendor: AI/TINKER, ISM 2.4 Ghz, PA: +25 dBm, 802.11 b/g/n”.
The special “ESP8266MOD Cloudino” module is available in Mexico, but not in USA, Europe:
“You can use any hardware on esp8266 ai/thinker, using cloudino firmware”.
“I'm afraid the microchip can not be sold yet on USA or Germany. But you can get all the info from cloudino.io”.
“You can use a generic hardware that use the ESP12 module. the ESP12 has built in antenna and 4MB of flash memory ( e.g. generic modules, Node MCU, Witty, Wemos. ESP12E or ESP12F are ok )”.

8-bit CPUs have little “residual current” / “cut-off” due to its crude dice, while 32-bit CPUs have much more “residual current” / “cut-off” due to its little structures.
Experts acknowledge the work of “Silicon Labs” ( formerly: “Energy Micro” ) to create 32-bit ARM CPUs with litte “residual current” / “cut-off”, little in comparison to the standard with 32-bit CPUs and especially ARM CPUs. Some new ARM CPU derivates of STMicroelectronics ( i.e. STML053R8T6, based on Cortex M0+ ) are also known to fulfill that criteria.
32-bit CPUs may be cheaper than 8-bit CPUs, as the chip manufacturer can produce more chips on the same space... due to the smaller structures of 32-bit chips and so the smaller dice size.
