OPC communication and IoT cloud connection

dataFEED OPC Suite Extended from Softing is software for OPC UA and OPC Classic communication and cloud connectivity in a single product.

Via the integrated OPC UA server including Store And Forward, the software enables secure access to controllers from various manufacturers such as Siemens Simatic S7, Rockwell ControlLogix, B&R, Mitsubishi and Modbus controllers (e.g. from Wago). As a gateway between the two OPC standards, the software also enables the integration of existing OPC Classic components and applications into modern Industry 4.0 OPC UA solutions.

Production data can be transferred to IoT cloud or big data applications on the Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Bosch PPM and Siemens MindSphere platforms via MQTT and REST. Softing 's 'dataFEED OPC Suite' also supports the storage of production data in a file, in an SQL database or in MongoDB and CouchDB. Thanks to extensive data pre-processing functionality, data can be flexibly adapted.
