EasyEdge KNX Asset Driver supports importing the project descriptor files from the ETS (esf and knxproj) and Auto Binding process, allowing easy creation of the interface for the Read and Write functions on a KNX installation. Multiple IP interfaces are supported for distributed large systems.
Modbus RTU is an open serial protocol derived from the Master/Slave architecture that was originally developed by Modicon (now Schneider Electric). It is a widely accepted serial-level protocol due to its ease of use and reliability. Modbus RTU is commonly used within Building Management Systems (BMS) and Industrial Automation Systems (IAS).
EasyEdge Modbus RTU Asset Driver allows you to connect devices using the Modbus protocol. EasyEdge Modbus RTU Asset Driver operates as a Modbus master and implements two-way communication. It can connect to multiple devices even with different communication parameters.
Modbus TCP is a variant of the Modbus family of vendor-neutral communication protocols intended for supervision and control of automation equipment. Specifically, it covers the use of Modbus messaging in an ‘Intranet’ or ‘Internet’ environment using the TCP/IP protocols. The most common use of the protocols at this time is for Ethernet attachment of PLCs, I/O modules, and ‘gateways’ to other simple field buses or I/O networks.
EasyEdge Modbus TCP Asset Driver allows you to connect devices using the Modbus protocol. EasyEdge Modbus TCP Asset Driver operates as a Modbus master and implements two-way communication and can connect to multiple devices simultaneously and support Modbus RTU over TCP/IP.
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight, publish-subscribe network protocol that transports messages between devices. It is designed for connections with remote locations where a small code footprint is required or network bandwidth is limited.
EasyEdge MQTT Asset Driver allows you to connect devices and applications using the MQTT protocol. The EasyEdge MQTT Asset Driver facilitates the integration of MQTT protocol within the EasyEdge platform. It simplifies the process of connecting IoT devices and applications using MQTT, allowing for seamless data communication and management.
OPC DA (Open Platform Communications Data Access) is a protocol used in industrial automation systems to facilitate communication between various hardware and software components. It is part of the OPC family of standards, which are widely adopted in the industry for interoperability between different devices and systems.
EasyEdge OPC DA Client Asset Driver allows connectivity with OPC DA Server. With Automatic Tag Generation, EasyEdge OPC DA Asset Driver efficiently provides Read, Write, and Subscription functions allowing fast connectivity integration. It offers the capability to discover local and remote OPC DA servers and establish secure communication channels.
OPC UA (Open Platform Communications United Architecture) is a data exchange standard for industrial communication (machine-to-machine or PC-to-machine communication). This open interface standard is independent of the manufacturer or system supplier of the application, of the programming language in which the respective software was programmed, and of the operating system on which the application is running.
EasyEdge OPC UA Client Asset Driver allows connectivity with OPC UA Server. With Automatic Tag Generation, EasyEdge OPC UA Asset Driver efficiently provides Read, Write, and Subscription functions allowing fast connectivity integration. It offers the capability to discover local and remote OPC UA servers and establish secure communication channels.
PROFIBUS (Process Field Bus) is a standard for Field Bus communication in automation technology. PROFIBUS communication protocol uses a modular design and different transmission technologies, making it flexible to set up and use. The system’s building blocks can cover all types of industries and applications.
EasyEdge PROFIBUS DP Asset Driver allows connectivity on a PROFIBUS network by sniffing the protocol in a non-intrusive way. EasyEdge reads the message packet and extracts all the Read and Write information from the Devices and the Controller. It supports all equipment with a Generic Station Description (GSD) file or even by creating customized virtual slots.
PROFINET (Process Field Network) IO is an industrial Ethernet communication protocol based on open TCP/IP and IT standards and developed with an emphasis on PROFIBUS DP similarity.
EasyEdge PROFINET IO Asset Driver allows connectivity on a PROFINET network. By sniffing the protocol in a non-intrusive way, it can read Cyclic Communications messages and extract all the Read and Write information from the Devices and the Controller. Support all equipment with a Generic Station Description Markup Language (GSDML) file or even by creating customized virtual slots.
REST (Representational State Transfer) protocol is an architectural style for designing networked applications. It relies on a stateless, client-server, cacheable communications protocol — the HTTP protocol is almost always used. REST is defined by a set of constraints that, when adhered to, allow for scalable and flexible web services.
EasyEdge REST Asset Driver allows you to connect devices and applications using the REST protocol. The EasyEdge REST Asset Driver facilitates the integration and management of RESTful APIs within the EasyEdge platform. This driver allows users to easily connect, manage, and interact with various RESTful services, enabling seamless data exchange and integration across different systems.
S7 Protocol is the backbone of Siemens communications. Its Ethernet implementation relies on ISO TCP (RFC1006) which, by design, is oriented to blocks. Each block is named PDU (Protocol Data Unit) and its maximum length depends on the Siemens communication processors and is negotiated during the connection. Used in the industrial environment.
EasyEdge S7 Asset Driver allows connectivity with S7 protocol over Ethernet. The EasyEdge S7 Asset Driver covers the full Data Type spectrum and allows Read and Write access to the Data Blocks (DB), Inputs (I), and Outputs (Q).
