FairCom Edge MTConnect connector
Connect FairCom Edge to MTConnect agents
The FairCom MTConnect connector uses a field bus protocol that provides the ability to connect to MTConnect agents to read and write MTConnect data tags to and from devices, such as PLCs. The time between data collection events can be modified. For example, to collect data twice every second, set "dataCollectionIntervalMilliseconds" to 5000.
MTConnect is an HTTP protocol that sends and receives XML data to collect data from devices. It uses industry-standard names for the data provided by devices.
Use the MTConnect connector when you want to configure FairCom Edge to gather data from devices over HTTP.
The connector converts the XML data into a JSON document, inserts it into an integration table of your choice, and can automatically send it to MQTT subscribers.
