New edgeConnector from Softing Industrial Unveiled
The aggregated data can then be made available to IT applications via a consistent OPC UA interface.
Softing Industrial has introduced new edgeConnector products and the edgeAggregator that offers a range of functionalities in version 3.40 that make integration into IT solutions much easier.
The Docker-based software modules of Softing’s edgeConnector product family provide access to process data in SIMATIC S7, SINUMERIK 840D and Modbus TCP controllers.
The edgeAggregator, which is also Docker-based, provides an OPC UA data integration layer in conjunction with a Docker-based IoT edge solution.
This allows various OPC UA servers of the automation level to be grouped together with their associated address spaces. The aggregated data can then be made available to IT applications via a consistent OPC UA interface.
Version 3.40 of the edge products includes several new features that greatly facilitate integration with standard Docker IT solutions.
With version 3.40 of its edge products, Softing Industrial continues its commitment to improving connectivity at the interface of OT and IT and facilitating the use of standard IT management and monitoring solutions.
