Data Bridge — bridge field data to the cloud
The agent-based bridge that exposes MergenHub tags outward. It carries data to cloud platforms, data lakes and third-party systems over REST and MQTT.
What it does
Data Bridge securely moves your collected data outside the plant. You define standard REST/MQTT agents; each agent publishes a selected tag set to a specific target in a specific format. It runs as a Windows service separate from the core runtime.
Key features
Serve data to clients with the REST server; send data to remote APIs with the REST client; publish to brokers with the MQTT client. Configurable payload format, update rate and authentication.
Core capabilities
REST Server
Built-in REST endpoint that serves MergenHub tags to clients over HTTP.
REST Client
Client agent that sends selected tags to a remote HTTP API at configured intervals.
MQTT Client
Client agent that publishes tag data to an MQTT broker as topics.
Configurable payload
JSON payload templates, update rate, publish-on-change/interval options.
Separate service
An independent Windows service fed by the core REST (protected with an InternalServiceToken).
Full parity
Configuration using the common REST/MQTT agent model.
