Make building systems accessible without opening the entire customer network. These guides help you configure service access, measurement data and permissions as separate requirements.

Building management

Explore your next question

Access Siemens Desigo remotely

Investigate a comfort complaint before travelling to the building. A ServiceGate can make an agreed Desigo service environment reachable. Connectivity, user permissions and data integration each need their own configuration.

Connect EcoStruxure Building Operation for service and data

You want a maintenance partner to inspect EcoStruxure Building Operation and use its data in a dashboard. Treat these as separate goals: a service session is not the same as a reliable data stream.

Remote access to WAGO building controllers, BACnet and KNX

Reaching a WAGO controller does not automatically expose every KNX or BACnet function. Start with the building architecture and identify the layer that the ServiceGate should make accessible.

Monitor HVAC systems: turn faults into useful trends

A temperature graph needs context. For useful fault investigation, combine measurements, operating state and timing. Monitoring can then help a technician ask the right diagnostic questions.

Access, data and ongoing management

All ServiceGate routers support remote access and data logging/monitoring. Available data and services depend on equipment and configuration. Manage locations, users and groups through the Remote Portal. Segmentation and suitable firewall rules limit access but do not replace security updates for the router and installation.
