EdgeXConnect – The Configurable No-Code OPC UA Server

***Available Now***

EdgeXConnect^TM (EdgeX) is a configurable No-Code OPC UA Server that helps technology vendors and users quickly expose edge device data (PLC, DCS, Sensors, Equipment, Instruments, etc.) to other systems (SCADA, HMI, Historians and Analytics).

EdgeXConnect simplifies the deployment of the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) interoperability specification, supports existing industry information models (Companion Specifications), providing users a totally configurable, flexible and easily maintained solution that control engineers can deploy quickly, lowering cost of deployment and ongoing maintenance.
