⁠netFIELD App OPC UA IO-Link Adapter

⁠Product Information

The container "netFIELD App OPC UA IO-Link Adapter" serves as a software gateway that is periodically extracting process data of IO-Link devices from multiple IO-Link masters the same time that do support services in accordance with the OPC UA for IO-Link Companion Specification⁠ and converting it into MQTT topics.

The selection of IO-Link data that are converted into MQTT is conveniently done through a web UI. This is simplified by the IODD file auto-provisioning feature using the Qualified Source of Information, IODDfinder⁠. The adapter also provides the option to upload IODD files manually.

Accessing the IO-Link data over the masters may work simultaneously while they are under the control of a PLC or network controller.

Without a license key, the container runs in demo mode with limited functionality for 30 minutes.

⁠Running the container using Docker Compose

The most convenient way to start the container is using docker-compose with

docker-compose --file <docker-compose-file.yml> up -d
