CommBridgeIndustrial connectivity and edge data flow

Bring data from different devicesInto one connected business workflow

Field devices speak different languages, but business operations need a continuous data flow. CommBridge connects acquisition, on-site processing and system integration, taking data from something you can read to something you can use.

Data from PLCs, meters and sensors converges at an edge gateway, passes through local processing and caching, and reaches business systems, while control results return to the devices.
Turn device connectivity into a business workflow you can build on.
01

Connect heterogeneous devices to a common data flow

02

Process data close to the equipment

03

Cache field data and resume synchronization when connectivity returns

01 / What changes

The devices are connected, but the data still does not form a business workflow.

Different protocols, data point formats and cloud interfaces mean rebuilding connections for each project. Simply reading data is not enough: calculations, alarms, storage and control also need to work together.

01

Change the device and keep the workflow clear.

Connect field devices through protocol plugins and data point configuration, then organize acquisition, processing and output into a visual workflow. Teams can follow the same path to understand where data comes from and where it goes next.

02

Data can start delivering value right at the site.

Perform calculations, evaluate conditions and process triggers at the edge node, then connect to business systems or device write channels. Processing that needs to be close to the equipment can stay on site.

03

Data has a place to stay when the network fluctuates.

Local storage and caching provide a temporary destination for field data, and synchronization continues after the network recovers. Acquisition and cloud synchronization can be scheduled separately, making this approach better suited to sites with unstable connections.

02 / A better way to work

From device readings to business actions.

Data from different devices converges at the edge. Processed data enters business systems, and commands to execute return to the site. Local caching accommodates the delay between acquisition and synchronization.

Device protocols, acquisition points and output channels are configured for each project. Cached data continues synchronizing after connectivity returns.

03 / Explore the implementation

A real temperature acquisition workflow shows how data is put to use.

Starting with an RS485 temperature and humidity sensor, this configuration example demonstrates serial acquisition, data parsing, processing and real-time viewing. Every stage of the business workflow is tied to a concrete configuration.
