In the world of industrial automation, seamless data integration is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. As industries digitize their operations, the challenge of connecting diverse devices, systems, and communication protocols becomes more complex.
Many organizations find themselves relying on multiple gateways or struggling to unify fragmented data sources.
That’s where the OPC UA Universal Server steps in. Built on the SIOTH® platform, the OPC UA Universal Server simplifies integration across your industrial landscape. It allows you to connect multiple protocols and systems simultaneously while providing a single, secure OPC UA interface for all your data.
And the best part? You can configure it in minutes using a user-friendly visual tool—no heavy coding, no long deployment cycles.
Why Choose OPC UA Universal Server?
Traditional integration methods often involve a patchwork of gateways and custom connectors. These methods increase both cost and complexity, while also introducing potential points of failure. The OPC UA Universal Server replaces this fragmented model with a centralized, protocol-agnostic solution.
It changes your industrial data strategy in the following ways:
- Multi-Protocol Connectivity
The OPC UA Universal Server supports a broad range of industrial communication protocols, including OPC DA, OPC HDA, OPC AE, Modbus, SNMP, MQTT, REST, and many others. This implies that you can connect to both legacy systems and modern equipment without needing multiple integration tools.
- Protocol Conversion
Data from many sources is converted into OPC UA, a platform-independent and secure standard. This eliminates manual mapping or custom middleware, accelerating your integration projects and simplifying maintenance.
- Cloud Integration, Built In
OPC UA Universal Server enables seamless data publishing to leading cloud platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, while maintaining the highest levels of data integrity and security
- Robust Security Features
The OPC UA Universal Server features a robust security architecture where protection is built in from the ground up. It supports user authentication and access control, TLS/SSL encryption, configurable port settings, and traceability, all while adhering to ISA/IEC 62443 security standards. This comprehensive approach ensures your data pipelines are protected from cyberattacks and unauthorized access.
- High Availability and Reliability
The OPC UA Universal Server is designed to meet the need for high availability and dependability in mission-critical settings. Its distributed architecture supports automatic failover and reconnection, load balancing for large deployments, and redundant execution of jobs and data flows. Even during network interruptions or system failures, the server ensures continuous and dependable data flow.
- Store & Forward Mechanism
Worried about data loss during connectivity issues? The OPC UA Universal Server features store-and-forward buffering, ensuring no critical information is lost. Once the connection is restored, buffered data is automatically forwarded to its destination.
