Panasonic data collection with Proxus

Proxus reads Panasonic PLCs with a native driver in the gateway. No PLC program changes, no OPC server in between: configure the device in the hub and the values arrive in your Unified Namespace.

Protocols and ports

2 protocols in this family.

The port used when you leave Port empty, browsing the device, and finding servers on the network. The connection test works for every protocol.

Over TCP: a serial protocol carried over TCP, through a serial device server or a converter. Proxus does not open serial (COM) ports directly.

How it works

From the machine to your systems, in four steps.

  1. 01

    Add the device in the hub

    Choose the protocol that matches your equipment, enter its address and pick the gateway on the same network.

  2. 02

    Define the tags

    Enter the addresses you need or apply a device profile, so the next identical machine is a matter of applying the profile.

  3. 03

    Name it in the namespace

    Each value gets its place in the Unified Namespace (enterprise, site, area, line or cell, equipment), the same for every protocol.

  4. 04

    Deliver and act

    Send the values to databases, brokers, cloud and APIs, and run rules and anomaly detection at the edge.

  • Runs at the edge

    The driver runs inside the gateway on the plant network. Data keeps being read when the link to the hub is down.

  • Buffered through outages

    Delivery to the hub and to every outbound target queues at the gateway (48 hours by default, up to 30 days) and is sent in order when the connection returns.

  • Nothing opens inbound

    The gateway connects out to the hub (port 7422, over TLS). Nothing on the plant network has to accept connections from the hub.

  • No per-tag pricing

    Tags, devices and users are not counted. You license gateways and data rate.
