You Choose Edge Device

Edge and Gateway runs on Windows 10 IoT as well as Linux, embedded and Raspberry Pi.

Scripts to Enable Analytics

Powerful script engine at the edge or in the Cloud, C#, VB.NET, Python. Script on Production Event.

“We envision FactoryStudio long-term as being the Data Hub in most enterprises. So in industry 4.0 applications, we envision a unified namespace and all hardware and software, and all users, all consumers of data are both… they’re both consumers and publishers of data into that name space. And we see FactoryStudio is that name space in the middle. For example, using both C# and VB.NET scripting, and being able to toggle back and forth between the two. No one’s ever done that, right?”

FAQ

What is the difference between Edge Gateway?

Edge and Gateway are built on the Secure FrameworX platform and include all the tools you need : plc drivers, OPC UA, MQTT, store and forward, scripting, mathematical expressions, multi-gateway, and more packaged as a subset to be more affordable.

What does Tatsoft have for IIoT?

The FrameworX Platform is Open and Universal and design to fit in to many IIoT architectures. We include MQTT Broker and Client functionality and SparkplugB in all our products, some of this functionality is new for 9.1. We have our Edge Gateway products built on FrameworX to provide powerful edge processing and analytics and/or be a flexible secure gateway to your cloud architecture.

What do I have to buy to get MQTT Broker and MQTT Client with SparkplugB?

All MQTT functionality is included with all of our FrameworX products. We support the open MQTT standard and also work with leading commercial MQTT Brokers to scale your applications to 1000s or 10,000s of connections. Call to learn more +1 (855) 828-7638

Do you run on Linux?

Yes, we run on Linux as well as most flavors of Windows.

What does Complete mean in terms of included functionality?
Complete means we include all of the core functionality you would expect so you don’t have to buy a bunch of “modules”. We have a built-in SQL database, OPC UA, MQTT, 40+ plc drivers, and much more.
What PLCs do you interface to?
We have many built-in communication drivers that support PLCs and industry standard protocols. This includes Rockwell, Siemens, Omron and many more, as well as, full support for OPC, OPC UA/DA, and MQTT. We also have an open toolkit for development of custom drivers.

What programming or scripting languages do you support?

We support C# (C Sharp), VB.NET, Python and JavaScript.

When you say .NET to the core and IntelliSense what do you mean?

All project elements: tags, datasets, alarms, and status of communications are available via Intellisense. They are all native .NET objects, no temporary tags or function calls required. Move tags to .NET objects and external data-tables with a single commend.

What functionality do you have around real-time Alarms and Events?
  • The Alarm Module was created with multithreading and exception control, for performance and reliability.
  • One-Click configuration enables Audit Trail on operator actions.
  • Project scripts can subscribe to alarm events to implement custom actions such as notification or calculations methods.
Do you support redundancy and high availability?

Yes, we have reliable and easily configurable redundancy for seamless failover. Realtime tags, devices, alarms, historical data, scripts, clients, and all modules were designed to meet redundancy and hot-swapping requirements.

Can I embed my custom analytics into FactoryStudio?

Yes, FactoryStudio is a fully open and extensible application platform. All user displays, real-time calculations, storage and analytics integrations are open and customizable.
