Simple and Independent Access to Controllers and IoT Devices

• Use without modifiying control program
• Integration of non-OPC UA-capable components, such as Siemens S7 controllers, into OPC UA solutions
• Cost savings through further use of already existing OPC Classic components
• Gateway functionality for connecting controllers and components with integrated OPC UA Server to OPC Classic applications
• Direct connection of IoT devices

Gateway to Big Data and IoT Clouds Solutions

• Integration of automation devices via MQTT Publisher/Subscriber, MindConnect and REST Client functionality in IoT cloud applications, e.g. Siemens MindSphere, Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure
• Easy integration of production data into NoSQL Big Data storage solutions such as MongoDB
• State-of-the-Art security by SSL/TLS support, including certificates
• Protection against data loss through Store & Forward for OPC, MQTT and REST

Extensive and flexible data processing

• Data conversions of values, e.g. conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit
• Comprehensive logical operation such as extraction of bits from an integer
• Data exchange between different automation worlds (e.g. between Siemens and Rockwell controls) without changing the control program

Easy Configuration

• Modern, intuitive graphical user interface for fast OPC communication configuration
• Use of smart hands-on defaults, setup wizards and drag-and-drop support
• Time savings through effective and efficient configuration of distrubuted automation systems with many OPC UA and OPC Classic Servers
