Abstract
A system may include a server that may communicate via an Open Platform Communications United Architecture (OPC UA) protocol. The system may also include an input/output (I/O) device having a server component configured to communicate with the server via the OPC UA protocol and a pipeline component. The pipeline component may translate one or more datasets received by the I/O device into the OPC UA protocol and send the one or more translated datasets to the server via the server component.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a server configured to communicate via an Open Platform Communications United Architecture (OPC UA) protocol;
- and
- an input/output (I/O) device comprising:
- a server component configured to communicate with the server via the OPC UA protocol;
- a pipeline component configured to:
- translate one or more datasets received by the I/O device into the OPC UA protocol;
- and
- send the one or more translated datasets to the server via the server component.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, are configured to cause a processing system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving one or more datasets via a first communication protocol;
- translating the one or more datasets from the first communication protocol into an Open Platform Communications United Architecture (OPC UA) protocol;
- and
- sending the one or more translated datasets to an OPC UA server component part of an input/output device.
An input/output (I/O) device, comprising:
- a server component configured to communicate with a server via Open Platform Communications United Architecture (OPC UA) protocol;
- a pipeline component configured to:
- translate one or more datasets received by the I/O device into the OPC UA protocol;
- and
- send the one or more translated datasets to the server via the server component.
