Modbus over TCP and DNP3 as Southbound Interfaces in EdgeDataLake by Massimiliano Pinto
Topic:
Discover how EdgeDataLake integrates Modbus over TCP and DNP3 as southbound interfaces to collect and process operational technology (OT) data. These widely adopted protocols in manufacturing, energy, and utilities leverage EdgeDataLake’s unified PLC client model, which already supports OPC UA, EtherIP, and more.
Massimiliano Pinto will present : he is one of our Senior Architects and has a long Edge road-experience.
Description:
Join this technical session to explore how EdgeDataLake extends its unified PLC client model to support Modbus over TCP and DNP3—two critical OT protocols. We’ll dive into:
✅ Protocol-specific technical details for Modbus and DNP3.
✅ Their integration into the southbound model and associated mappings.
✅ Practical examples to streamline your implementation.
Ideal for engineers, architects, and technical teams working on industrial infrastructures or real-time data management systems.
