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.

← All protocols & modules

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.
