One of the challenges for industrial IoT transformation is to seamlessly integrate an existing OT system with a new IT system. The new ADAM-6300 series answers this challenge with support for OPC UA and Modbus/TCP.
OPC UA, short for Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture, is an open standard that the ADAM-6300 series remote I/O modules support. With these ADAM-6300 modules, interoperable and cross-vendor collaboration between machines and equipment in production and the higher-level process automation system is now possible. The analog and digital I/O data can either be transferred to existing OT systems via Modbus/TCP or integrated into HMI/SCADA systems using OPC UA.
At a glance:
– OPC UA I/O connects SCADA and the cloud, without separate gateways
– OPC UA I/O are ready for HMI/SCADA applications and cloud providers
– Integrated IC security chip provides hardware-level protection
– OPC UA software enhances security via data encryption/certification
– ADAM-6300 series has high I/O density and supports daisy chain connectivity
