Product overview
OPC UA & industrial data integration
Windows-based OPC communication and connectivity suite for OPC UA, OPC Classic and selected controller, database, file, MQTT and REST integration tasks.
Brownfield OPC integrationRetain OPC Classic compatibility while introducing OPC UA in existing Windows architectures.
Reliable data forwardingUse store-and-forward and configured redundancy functions only where the selected licence includes them.
Controller connectivityConnect supported PLC and CNC sources through the applicable licensed components.
Migration decisionChoose between dataFEED and SDEX from the required protocols, installed base, operating platform and lifecycle—not product name alone.
