dataFEED OPC Server Modbus

Easy High Performance Data Access to Modbus Controllers

dataFEED OPC Server Modbus is a dataFEED OPC Suite component and bundles the functionalities for fast and convenient access to process and diagnostic data in Modbus controllers such as Schneider Electric, Wago, Beckhoff and Phoenix Contact.

As an OPC Classic Server (or optional OPC UA Server) dataFEED OPC Server Modbus enables the integration of Modbus TCP controllers into modern Industrie 4.0 solutions. Optionally, production data can be transferred via the MQTT, REST or MindConnect protocols to IoT Cloud or Big Data applications on Microsoft Azure IoT, Amazon AWS, IBM Watson IoT, MPDV MIP and Siemens MindSphere platforms.

Overview

Easy Access to Modbus Controllers

• Read and write access to data in Modbus controllers, e.g. Wago, Phoenix Contact, Schneider Electric, Beckhoff

• Quick and easy integration into OPC Client applications, such as SCADA or ERP systems

• No changes to control program required

Graphical User Interface with Configuration Wizards

• Easy-to-use graphical configuration interface

• Intelligent wizards for configuration setup in just 3 clicks

• Configuration of OPC Namespace e.g. by importing symbolic names from CoDeSys (Wago) project

• CSV import of existing configurations from software applications like SCADA or process control systems

Support of OPC UA (Unified Architecture)

• Optional expansion through dataFEED OPC Organizer UA

• Integration of non-OPC UA-ready Modbus components into OPC UA applications

• Easy integration of legacy and new controllers into Industry 4.0 solutions

• Cost savings through continued use of OPC Classic components

• Support of all security mechanisms defined by OPC UA standard

Gateway to IoT Clouds

• Optional expansion through MQTT and REST Connector

• Integration of automation devices in IoT cloud applications using MQTT Publisher/Subscriber functionality, e.g. in Microsoft Azure Cloud

• State-of-the-art security by SSL/TLS support, including certificates
