Product Overview

The TwinCAT 3 Analytics Storage Provider is an MQTT client and provides an interface between one or more MQTT message brokers and the relevant data storage units. Various controllers can send data via MQTT, which the storage provider can then store centrally. This can be cyclic raw data or pre-processed data. Historized data is also imported via the storage provider. The storage provider can thus output the data in Engineering for the service technician or in an analytics dashboard in the interactive chart for the production manager. Different storage units are supported and can be operated in parallel. The data can be stored in binary format or in plain text using an interpreter. The big advantage of the TwinCAT Storage Provider is that you can simply give it data to store. You can also define time periods, and it will pull the data out of storage without an SQL command.
