Quick answer: A heterogeneous industrial environment uses multiple communication protocols – such as Modbus, DNP3, IEC 60870-5, MQTT Sparkplug, and OPC DA – across devices
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a category of industrial control system software and hardware that lets operators monitor and control equipment and processes
In the previous article, “OPC UA Discovery Explained: Understanding LDS and GDS,” we introduced the role of discovery services in OPC UA and compared the
Historical data is the record that proves a process behaved as required, over time, and after the fact. Regulators, auditors, and customers rarely ask what
Operational Technology (OT) environments are the backbone of critical industries such as manufacturing, energy, utilities, transportation, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. Many of these environments rely
OPC UA made industrial systems easier to connect, configure, secure and scale. One of the improvements introduced by OPC UA is its standardized discovery mechanism.
Expose SQL Server, Oracle, and MySQL data as OPC UA nodes – no scripting, no middleware to maintain, with OPC UA-grade security built in. Every
Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is a proprietary Microsoft Windows technology. It enables software components to communicate directly over a network. Components on a server
Industrial digital transformation was supposed to simplify operations. Instead, many industrial sites ended up building fragmented ecosystems assembled from disconnected software components, proprietary connectors, protocol
1. Why OPC UA security matters now Industrial cybersecurity has moved from a specialist concern to a boardroom priority. The numbers are stark: ransomware attacks
Industrial systems generate large volumes of alarms and events every day. Temperature deviations, equipment warnings, state changes, operator actions, and system notifications constantly flow through
