Flexy is ready for OPC-UA!
Secure provision of your machine data for your Factory Enterprise System.
WHAT IS OPC UA?
A communication protocol for secure and reliable data exchange in industrial automation applications. OPC UA is platform-independent and ensures the seamless flow of information between devices from different providers.
OPC-UA is fully scalable, object-oriented and allows the use of structures or models, which greatly simplifies management and maintenance.
FLEXY OPC UA - CLIENT
Benefit from the flexible and extensive protocol compatibility of the Ewon Flexy
The Ewon Flexy has full OPC UA client functionality, which enables even more interoperability in addition to the already integrated automation protocols. The highest security standard of OPC UA is fully implemented in our client and offers various authentication and encryption mechanisms for the security options to connect to OPC UA servers (such as HMI's, PLC's).
Meet IT security requirements by using this easy-to-configure OPC UA client.
FLEXY OPC UA - SERVER
Secure communication channel between your machines and your Factory Enterprise System (SCADA, MES, ERP)
The Ewon Flexy offers a simple and secure communication channel to transfer information from the device to the application level thanks to the integrated OPC-UA server. The Flexy OPC-UA Server provides security options for authentication and encryption that can be easily managed within the Gateways to meet the security requirements of your OPC UA client. With the help of the wide variety of already integrated protocols (such as. ISOTCP, MPI/Profibus, ModbusTCP/RTU, EtherNet/IP, SNMP and many more) the Ewon Flexy can be used as a gateway to OPC UA.
Typical applications
A dream come true for SCADA applications. The Flexy OPC UA server is your ideal partner for the SCADA world (infrastructure, water, energy applications, etc.) and is also easy to use when you need to provide key values from your machines on the shop floor. Fast configuration, completely independent of the PLC.
