OPC Router 4 OPC UA Pub/Sub Plug-in for OPC Router - License type: Subscription license

OPC Router is a software program that allows you to connect data from various industrial devices and IT/OT systems to each other. All this quickly, automatically and without programming knowledge. In addition, you can see all data flows in a clear visualization.  

Collect data, connect systems, perform calculations, compare values and enter results into databases. You can do all this with OPC Router for PLC systems, OPC servers, printers, RFID readers, emails, Excel spreadsheets, databases, cloud systems, MQTT brokers, ERP systems SAP R3, SAP HANA, etc. For installation on a single computer you need a basic module and one or more plug-in modules.

OPC UA Pub/Sub connection via drag & drop

The integration of your OPC UA Pub/Sub Plug-in is very simple and intuitive with the OPC Router via drag & drop. In our screenshots you can see exemplary OPC UA Pub/Sub transfers. The transfer object OPC UA Pub/Sub Writer can send data to a connected Broker. In this example, the transfer object receives data from a database and then publishes it. The OPC UA Pub/Sub Trigger can receive data and values from the Broker and therefore acts as a Subscriber. In this example, it receives data from the Broker and stores it in the cloud together with a timestamp.

Accelerating communication with Pub/Sub

In the industrial IoT are many possibilities to use a Pub/Sub connection and simultaneously accelerate the internal communication between software and devices. Compared to a client/server application, Pub/Sub communication reduces the required connections since all connected devices and software communicate via a Broker. This reduces n-to-m connections, which decreases the processor and network load. Therefore, with Pub/Sub communication, the communication speed can be increased and the costs reduced.

Achieving more through linked systems:

OPC ensures that a large number of devices can be addressed via a similar standard. The OPC UA Pub/Sub Plug-in extends the OPC Router by a fast and simple communication tool.

Industry 4.0 with OPC UA Pub/Sub:

The connected systems in the world of Industry 4.0 communicate via many different interfaces. The OPC UA Pub/Sub Plug-in simplifies and accelerates this communication. The OPC Router creates the necessary connection to the infrastructure of networked production.

Data hub as Publisher and Subscriber:

With the OPC Router you can graphically realise the network of your systems. With its Plug-ins, it turns into a data hub for the industrial environment. It is distinguished by simple configuration, sophisticated monitoring and reliability. With the OPC UA Pub/Sub Plug-in, the OPC Router can be operated as a Publisher and Subscriber and establish real-time OPC communication in your system structure.
