Connecting the coming product "sensorEDGE FIELD" to netPI over Ethernet is no problem and a thing of some minutes. sensorEDGE FIELD embeds an MQTT broker. So netPI could connect to it using an MQTT Client and gather the IO-Link data from sensorEDGE FIELD. Afterwards it can compute the datain his own local context or send it to an assigned cloud.
But since "sensorEDGE FIELD" is a powerful Edge Gateway - with 50% higher CPU power than netPI - why to use a netPI at all? sensorEDGE FIELD can be extended by own containers/software ... for example a Node-RED running inside sensorEDGE FIELD additionally. And Node-RED has immediata support for any public clouds.
