Connectivity Node
Your gateway without programming
The Connectivity Node is a standalone application that runs directly on an industrial PC next to your machine and connects data sources on the field side with targets on the IT side.
Architecture
Combine data sources and data sinks flexibly
For each connection, you choose a matching communication module. The Connectivity Node translates between the protocols and makes the data available in both directions.

Data Sources
Easily integrate new machine modules and control systems thanks to extensive support for fieldbus protocols.
Connect individual field systems via OPC UA clients, digital I/O, IO-Link, or other interfaces
Connect measuring instruments and lab equipment with the HTTP REST or SiLA2 module
Data Sinks
Provide data for IT applications via OPC UA, MQTT, WebSockets, or HTTP(S) REST
Store production data in a structured way using retavi database adapters for InfluxDB, MongoDB, and MySQL
How It Works
Discover Interfaces
Have a wide variety of device interfaces detected and listed automatically.
Select Devices
Choose the devices and interfaces you want to translate into another protocol.
Choose the Interface
Specify which protocol the data should be translated into. The interface is provided automatically.
Create Mappings
Choose in fine detail which data from the source is provided, and how, on the new interface.
