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.
