Automation software package edgeConnector

data acquisitionOPC UA serverconnectivity

Software module to connect controllers and machines to IIoT applications edgeConnector connects to Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Modbus TCP, FANUC CNC, and Sinumerik 840D controllers and provides access to data via an OPC UA server interface. In addition, the data can also be transmitted to MQTT brokers using MQTT. As a docker container, it offers flexible cloud connectivity options, for example on devices running Azure IoT Edge or AWS IoT Greengrass. The application is easy to configure locally via a built-in Web interface. It can also be managed remotely via its REST API. Configuration is flexible and includes fine-tuned security settings (e.g. role-based access rights for OPC UA client applications). As a first strategic extension of Softing’s dataFEED product family into virtualization- and container technology, the new product leverages Softing deep experience with brownfield connectivity with MQTT and OPC UA technology and makes it available for new and highly efficient IoT solution architectures.
