Softing dataFEED OPC Suite 4.01

Softing dataFEED OPC Suite is an all-in-one software solution for industrial data connectivity from Softing Industrial Automation GmbH. It provides reliable, secure, and vendor-neutral integration between shop-floor equipment and higher-level systems by unifying OPC Classic and OPC UA technologies in a single platform.

With dataFEED OPC Suite, you can connect a wide range of PLCs and controllers, consolidate and model data from multiple sources, and securely deliver it to SCADA, MES, historians, analytics platforms, and cloud applications. The suite combines OPC UA/Classic server and client capabilities with bridging and tunneling, making it ideal for modernizing legacy OPC DA infrastructures and eliminating DCOM-related issues.

Key capabilities:

• Broad connectivity: Access data from diverse controllers and devices across multi-vendor environments.
• OPC interoperability: Bridge between OPC Classic (DA/A&E/HDA) and OPC UA, including wrapper/proxy functions for mixed deployments.
• Tunneling: Replace DCOM with secure, firewall-friendly tunneling for cross-network and cross-site communication.
• IT/OT and cloud integration: Forward data to enterprise and IoT systems via standards such as OPC UA and MQTT, enabling use with major cloud platforms.
• Data aggregation and modeling: Create a unified namespace, map and normalize tags, and prepare data for downstream applications.
• Security by design: Benefit from certificate management, encryption, user authentication, and role-based access aligned with OPC UA security.
• Efficient engineering: Intuitive configuration, browsing, diagnostics, and logging reduce setup time and maintenance effort.
• Scalable and robust: Designed for 24/7 industrial operation on Windows, with modular licensing to match project scope.

Typical use cases include connecting brownfield equipment to modern applications, consolidating plant data for enterprise visibility, migrating from OPC DA to OPC UA, and enabling secure edge-to-cloud data flows for Industry 4.0 initiatives.
