Please advice

Answer 1

Sorry, but no. You need some sort of a third party app like node-red or a special edge/cloud device.

Please remember to keep your system secure and hardened!

As of WinCC V7.5, you can use the "WinCC Cloud Connector" to establish direct communication in the cloud (e.g. "Amazon AWS"). Communication with Siemens MindSphere and Microsoft Azure is possible from WinCC V7.5 SP1 only.
