The process data interpreter

basics

In automation technology, hardware components from a wide variety of manufacturers are usually assembled into a system. In the past, each manufacturer pursued its own way of passing on process data to the software level. This affects both the physical communication path and the data format.

OPC support out of the box

Data exchange without direct connection

The special feature of MQTT is that two communication partners who exchange data with each other never do so via a direct connection.

Industrial communication based on standardized HTTP requests

REST does not describe an actual protocol structure. Rather REST prescribes properties which should be met for data communication in industrial environments.

Standard protocol for automation technology

Modbus was originally developed as a serial field bus by Modicon (today Schneider Electric) as a communication path between their controls.

From simple bytes to industrial protocols

What is data?

Whether digitalization, Industry 4.0 or IoT (Internet of Things), ultimately it is about the fact that various, often industrial components and their users, exchange data with each other.
