OPC Server Rockwell

Easy High-Performance Data Access to Rockwell Automation Controllers

dataFEED OPC Server Rockwell is a dataFEED OPC Suite component and bundles the functionalities for fast and convenient access to process and diagnostic data in Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers. Configure the OPC address space by simply browsing the controllers.

As an OPC Classic Server (or optional OPC UA Server) dataFEED OPC Server Rockwell enables the integration of Allen-Bradley controllers into modern industry 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.
