smartLink SW-HT
smartLink SW-HT is a HART multiplexer that provides a simple and fast access to HART field devices without additional hardware. It is a software interface solution for HART devices connected to Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider Electric, R.Stahl, Turck or Altus HART IO modules. The integrated HART-IP server enables transparent access to the HART devices. smartLink SW-HT enables remote asset management, device configuration and monitoring. It allows to access device identification, health, diagnostics, and process data.
plantPerfect Monitor
plantPerfect Monitor permanently monitors PROFIBUS networks and devices. It provides an online live view on the network with its devices and stores the information in a database to allow historic views. Geared to plant operators and maintenance personnel, plantPerfect Monitor easily detects the changes happened in the networks.
smartLink HW-DP-IIoT Gateway connecting to legacy networks, enabling Industry 4.0 connectivity
smartLink HW-DP provides PLC independent access to PROFIBUS DP Networks. It enables Plant Asset Management for field devices using standard industry tools and allows using HART IP as a standardized format. smartLink HW-DP is a compact tool that can be integrated without interfering with the operation of existing installations. Thus, it enables Industry 4.0 connectivity for new and existing PROFIBUS DP networks.
dataFEED OPC Suite Extended -Secure and Reliable All-in-One Solution for OPC Communication and IoT Cloud Connectivity
dataFEED OPC Suite Extended is a software solution for OPC UA and OPC Classic communication and for cloud connectivity in a single product. Via the integrated OPC UA Server inclusive Store And Forward, it provides a secure and reliable access to PLCs of all leading 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, dataFEED OPC Suite also enables the integration of existing OPC Classic components and applications into modern Industrie 4.0 OPC UA solutions. Using the MQTT and REST protocols, production data can be transferred to IoT Cloud or Big Data applications on Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Bosch PPM and Siemens Mind-Sphere platforms. dataFEED OPC Suite also supports the storage of production data in a file, in an SQL database or in MongoDB and CouchDB. Thanks to the extensive data preprocessing functionality, data can be adjusted easily and flexibly.
SDEX Suite
SDEX Suite is an industrial OPC UA and MQTT data aggregation platform that securely aggregates and distributes PLC and CNC data to IT systems. This OT/IT data aggregation middleware enables scalable industrial data connectivity across Windows, Docker, and gateway deployments.
