50+ Protocols.
One Single Interface.
Stop paying for driver licenses. Proxus connects to Siemens S7, Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC UA, Ethernet/IP, and more out of the box.
Why Connectivity with Proxus?
Every plant already runs a mix of PLCs, SCADA, historians, and IT systems. Proxus gives you a single interface to speak all of them, without paying per-driver fees or rewriting integrations for every project.
- 50+ Industrial Protocols available out of the box, from S7, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT to Ethernet/IP and ADS.
- Single Source of Truth via UNS topic mapping—no duplicate tag dictionaries across sites.
- Central configuration, edge execution—deploy once, scale to gateways with the same template.
- No hidden driver licenses—connect freely without per-device surprises.
Supported Protocol Families
How it fits the Proxus Platform
Connectivity lives at the edge, but configuration and observability are centralized. You onboard devices once, map tags to the UNS model, and Proxus keeps the contracts stable across all plants.
Collect from PLCs, meters, sensors on site. Buffers and normalizes close to the machine with reliable delivery.
Publishes normalized tags into the unified namespace so every consumer (dashboards, AI, analytics) reads from one source.
Fan-out to cloud or on-prem targets without changing device drivers again—just subscribe to the UNS topics you need.
Connection Flow
- Pick a protocol template (e.g., S7, OPC UA, Modbus) and enter endpoint details.
- Apply a tag map to align with your UNS naming (enterprise/site/area/line).
- Deploy to selected gateways; buffering and normalization run locally.
- Route normalized tags to UNS topics and selected integration targets.
- Monitor health: connection state, last message time, and drop counts.
Use Cases
Reuse the same connectivity layer for brownfield and greenfield projects without paying per driver or rebuilding flows for every plant.
Brownfield retrofit
Wrap legacy PLCs with UNS topics and push data to modern dashboards and AI without touching the control logic.
Energy & utilities
Collect Modbus meters, publish to UNS, and forward to analytics or carbon accounting tools.
SCADA + ERP bridge
Expose production counters and downtimes via UNS topics and share with MES/ERP or data lakes without custom drivers each time.
Multi-site standardization
Clone a connectivity template to 10+ plants; keep tag taxonomy consistent and avoid site-by-site driver licensing.
Security, Governance, and Reliability
Connectivity only matters if it is safe and predictable. Proxus applies the same guardrails everywhere—edge, UNS, and integrations.
- Least-privilege access per connection profile and topic namespace.
- Isolation at the edge—no inbound ports to PLCs; traffic is outbound and brokered.
- Store-and-forward for flaky links; data replays in order when the line is back.
- Health metrics for each connector: connection state, drop counts, last message time.
Standard Outputs
- UNS topics for real-time distribution
- Normalized tag names and engineering units
- Change detection to reduce chatter
- Optional buffering for offline sites
- Outbound routing to cloud/on-prem targets
FAQ
Common questions on licenses, performance, and scaling your connectivity footprint.
No. Drivers are included; you do not buy per-device or per-protocol licenses.
Yes. Build one template, map tags to UNS, and deploy to multiple gateways/sites.
Edge buffering keeps collecting; data replays in order when connectivity returns.
Designed for sub-second updates; change detection reduces chatter and bandwidth.
Ready to connect everything without driver taxes?
Start with a single line or roll out across sites. Keep one tag model, one configuration surface, and one UNS for all consumers.
