Data station offers powerful data acquisition capabilities

The Red Lion DA10D data station, available now from RS Components, gives powerful protocol conversion and data acquisition capabilities to unlock important data from orphaned or legacy equipment and share with plant floor, enterprise or cloud platforms easily.

The benefits of end-to-end connectedness are obvious – whether on the plant floor or in the front office, employees should be able to operate on real-time data from practically any equipment, anywhere, to make operational decisions that have significant business impact. Allowing native support for over 300 industrial drivers, out-of-box OPC UA server capability, and simple point-and-click configuration of MQTT connectors for a number of the industry’s most popular IIoT platforms, the platform was created to act as a key part of any plant’s industrial data collection, visualisation and management system.

Typical applications areas include factory automation, automotive, food and beverage, and oil and gas.
