Servers
Configure Connectware to provide server interfaces for external systems to access industrial data.
Servers allow Cybus Connectware to expose data and functionality to external systems through standardized interfaces. Instead of connecting to external services, these components provide server endpoints that external clients can access.
Using server resources, Connectware can make data from the internal MQTT broker available to external applications. Clients can send data to Connectware or retrieve data that is produced or processed within the platform.
Server configurations define how the interface is exposed and how data is mapped between external protocols and the internal message format. Depending on the server type, this may include defining routes, nodes, or hierarchical structures that represent the available data and operations.
Supported Servers
OPC UA Server: Exposes data via OPC UA protocol. OPC UA clients can browse and read data points organized in a hierarchical address space.
HTTP Server: Provides REST API endpoints for data access over HTTP/HTTPS. Accepts JSON data via POST or PUT requests.
Server configuration is defined in service commissioning files using Cybus::Server resources. Data points are defined using corresponding node resources (Cybus::Node::Opcua or Cybus::Node::Http). Access control is managed through Connectware's user management system.
For other connector types, see Shop Floor Connectors for connecting to industrial equipment, Enterprise Connectors for IT system integration, or Custom Connectors for creating custom protocol implementations.
