Introduction

The Devices tools provide a range of features that allow users to connect to, configure, and monitor various devices, including PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers)module offers a comprehensive suite of features for connecting to, configuring, and monitoring various devices like PLCs, sensors, actuators, and other data acquisition devices. That This includes support for multiple protocols for device communication, such as Modbus, OPC, and TCP/IP, ensuring seamless connectivity and interoperability between different devices and systems.

FrameworX also provides a range of Additionally, our platform provides configuration and diagnostic tools to help users set up and manage the devices, including simplify device setup and management. These tools include device discovery, network scanning, and real-time monitoring of device status and performance. It enables users to configure Users can also adjust device parameters , such as like data acquisition intervals, thresholds, and alarms , to optimize the system performance and efficiency of the system.

Key Functionalities


Over 50+ Native Communication Drivers 

Connectivity is a critical feature. FrameworX includes a wide range crucial aspect of our platform. We support a broad array of industry-standard protocols, allowing integrated communications facilitating seamless communication with PLCs, historians, databases, and other devices. New drivers are continually being addedWe continuously add new drivers, and our SDK makes it easy to add simplifies the process of adding any additional driver not already included.  

MQTT Tools 

We have 've integrated a built-in MQTT Broker on the into our platform, which can be operated independently or linked to a specific project. Tied offering standalone operation or integration with specific projects. When linked to a project, our MQTT Broker can also expose all project namespaces and properties. 

Our broker supports Sparkplug B clients and original MQTT clients, which does not use including those that don't adhere to the Sparkplug B specification such as like Mosquitto, as well as Azure IoT. We also offer a provide an MQTT Client simulator (with Sparkplug) to make streamline testing easier and fasteraccelerate development. 

 

HiveMQ Integration 

As your applications expand, grow or if you want seek the benefits and support of an enterprise-class MQTT Broker, you can buy purchase a bundled HiveMQ subscription license with any product.  

OPC-UA 

Framework Our platform’s projects can act seamlessly function as an OPC-UA server automatically, as well as and can also act as an OPC-UA client to interact with other servers. Additionally, our platform supports OPC-DA Server, OPC-DA client, OPC-XML-DA, and OPC-HDA are supported for easier enhanced compatibility with legacy systems.   

Store-and-Forward 

We added the 've incorporated Store-And-Forward functionality when into our software platform publishes when publishing data to the Canary Historian or a an MQTT Broker, which . This means we temporary temporarily store the message data of a message for later transmission to its destination later, in case if the network is not accessible inaccessible for any reason.   

Process Isolation and Multi-threading  threading

Data communication runs in operates within its own .NET domain, with utilizing a WCF layer to isolate the drivers from the main real-time database. Multiple threads are created to We create multiple threads for each protocol and device node for to ensure maximum performance.  

 

Built-in Performance Monitoring 

Statistics We generate statistics on system messages, success and error messages, dynamic blocks created, cycle time, and execution time on each block are generated to allow the fine tuning of high performance applications.  We have a complete . This allows for fine-tuning high-performance applications. Additionally, our comprehensive set of testing, deployment, and diagnostics tools provides ensure fast and reliable application development and installation.
