Machine Connectivity

Seamlessly integrate machines and protocols with Connectware.

The Machine Connectivity guides describe how to establish connections between Connectware and various industrial machines and communication protocols. Each guide provides step-by-step instructions for configuring and integrating devices to ensure reliable data exchange within your production environment. Most guides map the machine data into an ISA-95 style MQTT topic hierarchy, ready for use in your Unified Namespace.

The guides are grouped by the type of machine or device you want to connect:
