Cybus::Server

Making data available through additional protocol servers.

The Cybus::Server resource defines an additional server endpoint that makes data available to external clients. External applications or devices can connect to this server to either consume data from Connectware or provide data into it.

By default, Connectware already includes an internal MQTT broker (CybusMQ), which exposes all data via the internal MQTT API. The Cybus::Server resource allows you to extend this by offering other standardized access methods, such as OPC UA or RESTful APIs.

The data exposed by a server is structured through Cybus::Node resources, which define available data points in a hierarchical tree. This ensures a clear and consistent data model regardless of the chosen protocol.

In addition to the internal MQTT broker, the OPC UA Server is available.
