Connect useful sources
Evaluate sources such as energy meters or weather services alongside the data already in your application.
Web-service data / JSONGive web-service data
Give web-service data
a place in operations.
Bring JSON data from devices and services into OPC-compatible applications. Connect useful information to the systems your team already works with.

What it helps you doMake the integration
Make the integration
work for the project.
Start with the information you need, the system it comes from and the application it must serve.
Name data for the application
Map source data points to meaningful logical names using the server configuration.
Keep integration visible
Use configuration and diagnostic information to understand the connection and investigate problems.
How the pieces relateA clear path
A clear path
from source to use.
Use this relationship to frame the technical discussion. Exact module placement and capabilities depend on the selected product and version.
Project perspective
More context. A clearer picture.
A useful application may need information beyond its control network. Evaluate external data sources deliberately: what they add, how often they change and how the application handles unavailable data.
Start with this questionWhat does this source add to the application?

that matter.
Use these questions to shape a focused technical evaluation.
Source configuration
Define the service endpoint, authentication requirements and the data the application needs. Confirm the supported source behavior with CXS.
Data mapping
Existing documentation describes mapping JSON types to OPC types and using aliases to organize data points.
Platform and client interfaces
The existing product is documented as Windows-based, with OPC DA and other legacy client interfaces. Confirm the exact interface and version required; OPC DA is not OPC UA.
