Version 5.30 of Data Feed OPC Suite from Softing Industrial offers two new features: an OPC UA tunnel to increase security for OPC Classic communication plus support for Influx DB databases.OPC UA tunnel increases security for OPC Classic communication

The Data Feed OPC UA Tunnel is a new component of Softing Industrial's Data Feed OPC Suite. It enables easy and secure access to OPC Classic servers across network boundaries and firewalls. A DCOM configuration is no longer required. Configuration of the two tunnel ends is quick and easy using Export/Import. The security mechanisms of the OPC UA standard, which include authentication of users by means of certificates as well as signing and encryption of data, ensure maximum protection. The suite currently supports up to 50 OPC UA tunnel connections.

With version 5.30 Data Feed OPC Suite offers the possibility to store process data in an Influx DB for subsequent processing and analysis. Influx DB is one of the most widely used No SQL databases. It ensures extensive scalability, high availability as well as fast writing and reading.

Data Feed OPC Suite Extended is a complete package for OPC communication and cloud connectivity, providing access to the controllers of leading manufacturers and to IoT devices. The suite acts as a gateway between the two OPC standards, allowing the integration of existing OPC Classic components and applications into modern Industry 4.0 OPC UA solutions.
