A Modbus TCP/IP driver has been added to Ignition OPC-UA, a cross-platform OPC-UA server.
{mosimage} The new driver allows Ignition OPC-UA to connect to a broad variety of
devices, such as solar cells, lights, generators, flowmeters, and even
bar code scanners and refrigeration skids. Ignition OPC-UA is offered
free as a stand-alone server, and is also included as a module within
Ignition software. Ignition is a robust platform for creating
Web-launched HMI, SCADA and MES systems that can run on Windows, Linux,
OS X and more. With full support for OPC-UA and classic OPC, and now
Modbus, Ignition can be adapted to connect to virtually any industrial
device, says the vendor. The Modbus driver allows users to quickly and
easily access device data and make Modbus data available through
Ignition OPC-UA to any third party client and to the rest of Ignition in
order to log history, display status, create control screens and more.
The Modbus driver is compatible with native Modbus TCP/IP devices, as
well as Modbus RTU devices through the use of a fieldbus gateway.Inductive Automation www.inductiveautomation.com800.266.7798
