Connect to OT data sources and make process data accessible within the ENLYZE Platform
In the following you will learn, how to connect to OT data sources using our connectors and make process data accessible within the ENLYZE Platform. We support a wide range of different industrial communication protocols to ensure full connectivity even in heterogeneous machine parks.
The connection process largely depends on the industrial communication protocol being used, which in turn is usually specified by the controller brand or the device to be connected.
Depending on the information available (machine manufacturer, controller brand, or industrial communication protocol), you can use the following documentation to check whether connectivity can be established and directly access the appropriate guide to correctly connect your data source.
The variables available on a data source are registered in the ENLYZE Manufacturing Data Platform in one of two ways, depending on the protocol used for the connection.
Variable Discovery is an automated process in which an edge device assigned to the data source queries the variables available on the data source and registers them in the ENLYZE MDP.
Applicable protocols:
S7+ (OMS+)
PVI
OPC-DA
OPC-UA
Beckhoff ADS
If a data source is connected via a protocol that does not support Variable Discovery, the available variables are registered manually. This often requires additional resources such as data sheets or project files.
Applicable protocols:
S7 (Step 7)
Modbus
