File Read facilitates the quick and secure integration of process values from XML files into production control applications such as MES or OEE, using standard OPC Classic or OPC UA interfaces. Production data can also be integrated into cloud-based IIoT solutions via MQTT or REST. Additionally, there is a data logging option for documentation, analysis, or verification in a separate database.
The dataFEED OPC Suite provides access to controllers from manufacturers such as Siemens SIMATIC S7, Rockwell ControlLogix, B&R, and Mitsubishi, as well as Modbus controllers from manufacturers like Wago. It acts as a gateway between the two OPC standards, enabling the integration of existing OPC Classic components and applications into modern OPC UA solutions for Industry 4.0 applications. Production data is transferred to IoT Cloud or Big Data applications using MQTT and REST protocols. The suite also supports storing production data in a file, an SQL database, or MongoDB and CouchDB. Thanks to its extensive data preprocessing capabilities, this data can be easily exported and flexibly customized. With OPC UA Reverse Connect functionality, the suite ensures secure communication between OPC UA components separated by firewalls or DMZs.
