Applications
The approach to the features required in the IT and industrial control field is in fact quite different, especially when considering aspects such as communication protocols and data formats. Consequently, ICP DAS provides solutions by reviewing the hardware that might be required in order to address the needs of all parties, thereby reduce the labor cost incurred by the intermediary configuration. For example, an MQTT broker is the most common hub implemented when considering IOT, while OPC UA (Unified Architecture) is used at an industrial site to connect to the Cloud.
- MQTT is the most commonly used messaging protocol employed in the IOT industry, which can be regarded as a bridge for the data transmission between field devices. In order to more concisely and efficiently render communication between the IT site and the OT site, ICP DAS has developed a series of UA schemes based on the MQTT protocol, that allow the modules to be integrated between the devices through the OPC UA using different communication languages, providing a standardized encryption format for the data that can be confidentially uploaded to the Cloud.
- By correctly configuring the hardware settings for an UA IO series device in the field to integrate machine communication languages via the OPC UA, data transmission becomes more concise and intuitive when attempting to solve previously complex data uplink and confidentiality issues.
