⁠Product Information

Softing dataFEED edgeConnector FANUC CNC is a containerized FANUC CNC connectivity module adding OPC UA Server and MQTT Publisher functionality. The software can run as IoT Edge Module. After the deployment, it is possible to configure Southbound and Northbound communication via local GUI or REST interface.

For southbound communication it is possible to connect up to 20 FANUC CNC controllers. The Namespace configuration is pre-configured and the PLC (PMC) area can be extended via FANUC LADDER III (optional) or TXT files.

The northbound communication runs with standardized OPC UA communication for data integration into management systems like ERP, MES or SCADA or for data exchange with other docker containers like Microsoft OPC Publisher for cloud scenarios. In addition MQTT is available as protocol to connect MQTT Broker in local or cloud environments.

The application supports security standards like SSL/TLS, X.509 certificates, authentication and data encryption. The container runs for 72h in demo mode. Fully activate the application via BYOL from Softing. This also requires the installation of the Softing floating license server available for Windows/Linux.

⁠Run the Container

After the Docker image has been pulled, a Docker container can be started. The webserver and OPC UA Server of the module have to be exposed on the host machine if dataFEED edgeConnector FANUC CNC shall be accessed from outside the dockerized environment.

To start dataFEED edgeConnector FANUC CNC with the default ports mapped 1:1 to the host machine:

docker container run --name edgeconnector -h edgeconnector -p 443:443 -p 4897:4897 softingindustrial/edgeconnector-fanuc-cnc
