What is the best solution to collect data from several PLC M221 distant from each other and that is connect to a VSAT

Hello...
We will need more information before a proper response can be given. Our team offers Trio data radios, SCADAPack RTU's, and the Ecostruxure Geo SCADA Expert software. We do not support the M221 "nano" PLC. Are you looking for a suggestion about the best software to manage the data gathering (Geo SCADA perhaps)? Or for a communication solution (Trio radios perhaps)? Or for RTU's to interface with the M221 PLC to allow distant communication. Or something else - perhaps I don't understand?
Also, there are several versions of the M221 PLC. It will be necessary to consider what communication ports are provided with the version your customer will use. I can see that one version, for example, includes a LAN port and the ability to communicate using the Modbus/TCP protocol. Knowing what protocols the PLC is able to talk is also very important.

Hello Joel
Thank you for your reply.
The need consist of uploading data to data to a cloud from different PLCs M221 (reference to be confirmed), the PLCs are located in different places and have access to internet throught a VSAT.
So it is basically "How to send data from PLC to Cloud".
What is the best solution ? the SE cloud service dedicated for this type of solution ?
Thank you

Our team does not work with Modicon PLC's or PAC's, nor do we offer cloud solutions. You may have more success re-posting your question in a Modicon forum such as this one:
