Universal Data Connector
The Universal Data Connector is at the core of the EAS Platform allowing the movement of data from PLCs, IoT hubs, applications, databases and more.
Product Features
The Universal Data Connector is a server-based, highly-scalable, network platform that enables the transport and transformation of your data. Many other solutions lock your data in proprietary formats, thus limiting your ability to use or share your own data.
The EAS platform is built upon a single principle, to liberate your data and allow you to move it through your enterprise with speed and flexibility.
Once data sources are connected to the EAS Platform, data can be logged to infinite open databases for further analysis or storage.
Each data point is monitored and can be transformed, or used to trigger alarms for real time notification. Additionally, all data passing through the Platform is made available to a site of developer tools and APIs for creating .NET, web, and native mobile visualizations.
Product Features
Log data in open format to MS SQL Server, Oracle, mySQL, PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, MongoDB, SQLite, MariaDB, Access, SQL Azure, Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Google Firebase, and CSV files
Log events to open databases, and send notifications via SMS, email, and voicemail
Read and write data to Allen Bradley, Siemens, and Modbus devices, Universal Drivers, OPC, OPC UA, databases, Excel, and read MTConnect.
Connect to cloud-base IoT gateways such as AWS, Azure IoT, and MQTT
Build custom Visualizations, User Interfaces, HMIs and Dashboards for Windows, web, as well as native iOS and Android devices
Develop custom automation apps for Windows, web, and mobile devices. Integrate with .NET and REST APIs. Build custom integrated device drivers.
Provides the most robust, scalable, and reliable distributed networking platform for IIoT solutions
Data Sources
EAS supports a large library of Industry 4.0 data sources including Allen Bradley and Siemens PLCs, Modbus and MTConnect devices, OPC UA and DA Servers and Clients, Databases, applications, and more.
Data Destinations
EAS integrates directly into existing applications and interfaces.
Reliability and Failover
When deployed on the network with each data source, the EAS Universal Data Connector captures and buffers data, so when external network connectivity is intermittent or unreliable, no data is lost. Data is transmitted as soon as communications is reestablished. EAS servers can also be configured for failover, to achieve necessary redundancy.
Using the free Live Data Cloud feature, EAS servers can communicate with each other, relaying data without remote locations requiring a fixed IP address, allowing for data aggregation and remote monitoring.
Performance and Scalability
Perfectly suited to Big Data solutions, each EAS server can process up to 1,000,000 data points. Each can connect up to 10,000 servers to each client, and up to 10,000 clients per server. The result is throughput of up to 100,000,000,000,000,000 data points per network. Transfer data over your LAN, WAN, Intranet, or the Internet with 100 nanosecond resolution!
Security
Service-to-service and service-to-client communications use WCF with encrypted and compressed packets for low network usage and high speed. Unlimited security Users and Groups can be configured as well, to control granular access to each data point and even each attribute of each point.
Automated Configuration and Flexibility
Perfectly suited to Big Data solutions, each EAS server can process up to 1,000,000 data points. Each can connect up to 10,000 servers to each client, and up to 10,000 clients per server. The result is throughput of up to 100,000,000,000,000,000 data points per network. Transfer data over your LAN, WAN, Intranet, or the Internet with 100 nanosecond resolution!
Open Data Format
As always, all interfaces provide access to data directly without the need for proprietary plug ins. All data is logged to open formats, and exposed via multiple APIs across multiple environments. Your data is always available for you to work with in real time at no additional cost, and with no additional export and translation.
Networking
The Universal Data Connector is built upon a Distributed Network Architecture, enabling robust Edge Computing IIoT solutions
Data transport over LAN, WAN, and Internet.
