View productssmartLink
Hardware and software access points for field-device connectivity, asset management and plant data access. Access-point products connect field-device information with maintenance, asset-management and higher-level process applications.
View productsIndustrial Gateways
Gateways between PROFINET, PROFIBUS, Modbus and process-automation communication layers. Dedicated gateways provide protocol conversion and integration across automation and process networks.
View productsNetwork Diagnostics
Tools for commissioning, monitoring and troubleshooting PROFIBUS, PROFINET and industrial Ethernet networks. Portable and installed tools assess network quality, detect communication faults and document industrial-network condition.
View productsOT/IT integration
Industrial data access without unnecessary changes to existing control programs.
Brownfield PLC and machine connectivity
Connect established Siemens, Rockwell, Modbus and supported CNC data sources to OPC UA, MQTT, MES, analytics and other higher-level applications while retaining existing control logic.
OPC Classic to OPC UA migration
Bridge legacy OPC Classic components into OPC UA architectures to extend the useful life of existing automation software while introducing modern secure interfaces.
Containerized industrial edge
Deploy Docker-based edgeConnector modules on industrial edge systems to expose controller data through OPC UA and MQTT with local or remote configuration.
Fieldbus commissioning and maintenance
Use Softing diagnostic tools and field access products to analyse communication quality, identify faults and make device information available to maintenance and asset-management systems.
Connectivity architecture
Separate deterministic control from standardized data access and higher-level integration.
OPC UA and OPC Classic interoperability
dataFEED can connect PLCs and OPC environments while providing standardized OPC UA access, supporting staged modernization instead of forced replacement of established systems.
MQTT and cloud/enterprise integration
MQTT and REST connectivity can publish selected production data to brokers, databases, MES, analytics and cloud applications while keeping the control layer independent.
Docker-based edge deployment
edgeConnector packages controller connectivity as containerized software, which supports repeatable deployment on industrial edge systems and remote lifecycle management.
Field and network visibility
smartLink and diagnostic technologies provide access to field-device information and network condition for commissioning, troubleshooting, maintenance and asset-management workflows.
Technical guidance
Softing OPC UA, MQTT and industrial connectivity questions.
Can Softing connect existing PLCs to OPC UA without changing the PLC program?
Softing dataFEED and edgeConnector products support direct connectivity to selected PLC families and can expose data through OPC UA without requiring changes to the existing controller application in many use cases.
What is the role of MQTT in industrial connectivity?
MQTT provides a lightweight publish/subscribe mechanism for transferring selected machine and production data to brokers, edge applications, enterprise systems or cloud platforms.
What is the difference between dataFEED and edgeConnector?
dataFEED is a Windows-based industrial data-integration and OPC platform, while edgeConnector provides controller connectivity as Docker containers for industrial edge environments.
Can OPC Classic systems be integrated with OPC UA?
Yes. Softing dataFEED can act as a bridge between OPC Classic and OPC UA, allowing existing OPC Classic infrastructure to participate in modern OPC UA architectures.
What is smartLink used for?
smartLink products provide access to field-device information and communication layers for asset management, maintenance and higher-level plant-data applications.
Which applications benefit from network diagnostics?
Commissioning, intermittent-fault investigation, preventive maintenance and plant expansion benefit from tools that assess PROFIBUS, PROFINET and industrial Ethernet communication quality.
