Modernize non-OPC UA Data Sources with MDB Adapters
While you can add your existing OPC UA sources directly into Matrikon Data Broker (MDB) to make them securely available enterprise-wide via a Unified OT Data Layer (UODL), what about your non-OPC UA sources? Use Matrikon Data Broker Adapters (MDBAs).
MDBAs communicate natively with OT sources on the one hand and tie the data from those sources into MDB data technology (DT). This enables you to make that OT data usable seamlessly and securely across your OT network, the business network, and the cloud.
Using MDBAs is more convenient than the old OPC classic connectors, because MDBAs provide a more flexible and robust solution out-of-the-box. For example, MDBAs can be deployed as Windows applications and Linux containers to best suit modern infrastructure needs. Using MDBAs to aggregate non-OPC UA sources also helps you build sustainable architectures via access to functionality like:
- OPC UA Reverse Connect, which implements best-practices-based cross-firewall OT data communications
- Custom OPC UA information modeling and mapping
- Enhanced data context management
Matrikon is actively adding new MDBAs for many OT data sources. Examples of upcoming MDBA releases include:
- EtherNet/IP MDBA
- PROFINET MDBA
- OPC to UA MDBA
