EdgeConnect™ Modbus to REST API Gateway
EdgeConnect serves as a robust bridge between industrial fieldbus networks and modern web services. It exposes Modbus registers as standardized RESTful endpoints, allowing seamless integration with ERP systems, custom web dashboards, and mobile applications using standard HTTP protocols.
Web Integration Features
- RESTful Architecture: Access real-time industrial data using standard GET, POST, and PUT requests.
- JSON Formatting: Receive data in clean, developer-friendly JSON objects, eliminating complex binary parsing.
- Event-Driven Webhooks: Configure the gateway to automatically POST data to your server upon register changes or threshold alerts.
- Integrated API Testing: Features a built-in interactive console (Swagger-style) for rapid testing of endpoints.
- Secure Access Control: Protect your industrial assets with API Key authentication and HTTPS support.
