Intel® Edge Controls Protocol Bridge Microservice

The Edge Controls Protocol Bridge Microservice helps you create a real-time deterministic data pipeline. Use it to bridge various industrial protocols together, effectively providing translation from one protocol to another.

Overview

The Intel® Edge Controls Protocol Bridge can be used to bridge various industrial protocols together, effectively providing translation from one protocol to another. Some use cases include bridging the OPC UA Client/Server Model to OPC UA Publish/Subscribe Model. Other uses include bridging the PLCopen OPC UA Transport Layer to MQTT.

How It Works

The Intel® Edge Controls Protocol Bridge is used to provide a real-time deterministic data pipeline by stitching together its various Plugins. It uses a plug-in design and dynamically loads and configures the plug-in shared libraries at the time of launch. Configuration files are used to define the plug-ins that are loaded and their runtime parameters.
