Product Overview
The .NET Data Connector provides you with full programmatic access to read and write data in the OAS Data Engine. The .NET Data Connector as well as the .NET Configuration assembly are based on .NET Standard for maximum compatibility. This allows you to read and write OAS data or automate the configuration of OAS servers from .NET applications deployed to Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and iOS devices.
Platform Components
The core of the OAS Platform, enabling data connectivity, server-to-server networking, and more
Log data in open format to MS SQL Server, Oracle, mySQL, PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, MongoDB, SQLite, MariaDB, Access, SQL Azure, Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Google Firebase, and CSV files
Log events to open databases, and send notifications via SMS, email, and voicemail
Read and write data to Allen Bradley, Siemens, and Modbus devices, Universal Drivers, OPC, OPC UA, databases, Excel, and read MTConnect.
Connect to cloud-base IoT gateways such as AWS, Azure IoT Hub, Azure Event Hubs, Kafka, MQTT, and Sparkplug B
Build custom Visualizations, User Interfaces, HMIs and Dashboards for Windows, web, as well as native iOS and Android devices
Develop custom automation apps for Windows, web, and mobile devices. Integrate with .NET and REST APIs. Build custom integrated device drivers.
Provides the most robust, scalable, and reliable distributed networking platform for IIoT solutions
Core Features of .NET Data Connector
- Turn any Visual Studio application into a HMI / SCADA data source.
- Transfer any .NET custom data from application to application over the Internet.
- Share .NET data to iPhone, Android, HTC, and HTML5 applications.
- Log data with 100 Nanosecond resolution together with OAS Data Historian
- Programmatically access data from OPC Servers with 100% managed component.
This is a great tool for programmers who want full programmatic access so they can:
- Provide a fully customized user interface using live data with 3rd party controls
- Read and write live data in existing .NET application
- Perform internal analysis of the live data and present the results or perform calculations on the data within the application
- Create a Windows service to move or manipulate the data.
