The Data Connectivity module in the United Manufacturing Hub is designed to enable seamless integration of various data sources from the manufacturing environment into the Unified Namespace. Key components include:
- Node-RED: A versatile programming tool that links hardware devices, APIs, and online services.
- barcodereader: Connects to USB barcode readers, pushing data to the message broker.
- benthos-umh: A specialized version of benthos featuring an OPC UA plugin for efficient data extraction.
- sensorconnect: Integrates with IO-Link Masters and their sensors, relaying data to the message broker.
These tools collectively facilitate the extraction and contextualization of data from diverse sources, adhering to the ISA-95 automation pyramid model, and enhancing the Management Console’s capability to monitor and manage data flow within the UMH ecosystem.
