File linkage software for IoT

DeviceXPlorer FileLinker

DeviceXPlorer FileLinker is a software which bridges data transfer of text files such as CSV to IoT services.
Utilization of valuable files hiding inside equipment is made possible, which aids the adaption of IoT systems.

Features

1. Abundant connectivity with many host systems

DeviceXPlorer FileLinker supports OPC UA communication, which is an international standard in the industrial field, and MQTT communication, which is a communication standard suitable for cloud linkage, so that systems can be flexibly constructed by combining it with a variety of IoT platforms.
It has proven compatibility with SCADA such as GENESIS64 from Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions, and cloud services such as Amazon Web Service.

2. Effective utilization of valuable equipment files

DeviceXPlorer FileLinker can read text-based file data such as CSV. You can utilize maintenance data that is lying dormant in equipment, as well as proprietary and legacy data.

3. Simple connection of text files and host systems

You specify the row / column / delimiter of the data that you would like to acquire, then DeviceXPlorer FileLinker can read the data in the files. Since those values can be linked freely on the basis of file format, data can be easily imported into host systems.

Corresponds to OPC UA and MQTT

OPC UA server function is installed in order to use the data read from files in OPC UA (* 1) which is widely used in the industrial field. Moreover, file data can also be converted data into a communication standard called MQTT (* 2) which has been widely adopted in the IT field and in data transmission.

*1 OPC UA: This is a communication standard in the industrial field, and specified as international standard IEC 62541. This provides HTTP and TCP / IP communication, binary and XML encoding, and authentication and encryption, to protect against data breaches.
*2 MQTT: This is a lightweight TCP / IP protocol suitable for M2M and IoT, and a communication standard for IoT which enables high-speed and high-capacity communication while conserving power. MQTT supports one-to-many communications and is ideal for incorporation into small equipment such as sensors.

Replacement of the previous version

Notes on replacing the previous version "File Arc FA Edition" with "DeviceXPlorer File Linker".

Differences in OPC UA server functions

The initial value of the application name has been changed from "FileArk_FA" to "DxpFileLinker". The application name can be changed to any string in the OPC UA server configuration.

Change to calculation settings

The calculation settings provided in "File Arc FA Edition" have been replaced by calculation tags in "DeviceXPlorer File Linker" and are disabled by default. If you wish to enable the calculation settings, please turn ON "Enable Old Calculation Settings" in the application settings.
