Hitex: dataFEED OPC Suite

dataFEED OPC Suite 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, it provides access to PLCs of all leading manufacturers such as Siemens SIMATIC S7, Rockwell ControlLogix, B&R, Mitsubishi and Modbus controllers.

As a gateway between the two OPC standards, dataFEED OPC Suite also enables the integration of existing OPC Classic components and applications into modern Industry 4.0 OPC UA solutions. Using the MQTT and REST protocols, production data can be transferred to IoT Cloud or Big Data applications. dataFEED OPC Suite also supports the storage of production data in a file, SQL database or MongoDB and CouchDB.

Simple independent access to controllers & IoT devices

Read and write access to data in controllers from leading manufacturers
Easy integration of existing and new controllers into Industry 4.0 solutions
Integration of non-OPC UA-capable components into OPC UA solutions
Cost savings by extending the use of existing OPC Classic components
Gateway functionality for connecting OPC UA and OPC Classic
Direct connection of IoT devices (MQTT Publisher) without using an MQTT Broker

Gateway to Big Data and IoT cloud solutions

Integration of automation devices via MQTT Publisher, MindConnect and REST Client functionality in IoT cloud applications
State-of-the-art security by SSL/TLS support, including certificates

No need for DCOM configuration

Integration of automation devices via MQTT Publisher and REST Client functionality in IoT cloud applications, e.g. IBM Watson Cloud or Microsoft IoT Connected Factory
Easy integration of production data into NoSQL Big Data storage solutions such as MongoDB
State-of-the-art security by SSL/TLS support, including certificates

Easy configuration

Modern, intuitive graphical user interface for fast OPC communication configuration
Use of smart hands-on defaults, setup wizards and drag-and-drop support
Time savings through effective and efficient configuration of distrubuted automation systems with many OPC UA and OPC Classic Servers

dataFEED OPC Suite Extended

With the Extended Suite you can also connect to the Cloud with MQTT or REST. It also offers Store and Forward functionality if your facility suffers with unstable connections due to poor internet connectivity.

dataFEED OPC Suite

Read and write access to data in PLCs of leading manufacturers
Integration of non-OPC UA-ready components into OPC UA applications
Cost savings through continued use of existing OPC Classic components
Gateway functionality for connecting OPC UA Server to OPC Classic applications
Avoids DCOM and its complex settings

The dataFEED OPC Suite offers a full package of components for OPC communication and cloud connectivity within a single product. It enables access to the controllers of leading manufacturers. Additional functionality eliminates DCOM problems and improves the communication between the PLCs, OPC Servers and OPC Clients, independent of the use of OPC Classic or OPC Unified Architecture (UA) or OPC Classic. The MQTT Connector enables the dissemination of data to IoT (Internet of Things) clouds.
