Moxa MX-AOPC UA Server

Moxa has released the MX-AOPC UA Server, an automation software solution that helps users facilitate efficient, seamless SCADA device data management. It is the company’s first OPC UA software solution that addresses big data challenges related to the industrial Internet of Things.

Using the server, engineers can take advantage of a cohesive and secure data exchange and control framework that enables instant alarms, real-time updates and efficient logging of historical data, allowing for both timely risk prevention and maintenance responses.

The product inherits Moxa’s Active Tag technology and supports the Modbus protocol for polling data. Engineers can connect edge devices to a SCADA system and the active tag technology minimises data size, which is a common challenge for big data applications. The inherent flexibility and security of the server make it a suitable choice for meeting the evolving needs of big data analysis.

The product is claimed to be the first OPC UA server for industrial automation that supports both push and pull communication.
