OVL as Kafka Source Connector
Logging industrial data to Kafka made easier!
Our ogamma Visual Logger for OPC now can be deployed as Apache Kafka Source Connector!
Works well with Cofluent and Redpanda Connect implementations.
New version 4.2.2 of the ogamma Visual Logger for OPC
We are pleased to announce the release of a new version, 4.2.2, of the ogamma Visual Logger for OPC.
The most important changes are:
- Added new feature: support for High Availability, to facilitate smooth data flow with no interruptions. Two instance nodes of the application can run in parallel, one in Active mode and the second in Standby mode. If the active node fails, then the second node takes over data collection and logging and becomes Active, so logging of data continues. This feature can also be useful to perform planned upgrades and maintenance of the software, OS, and hardware without interruption of the data flow.
The YouTube video about this new feature is available below.
- Windows distribution package now has a second form – an installer, packaged as an executable, which installs the ogamma Visual Logger for OPC as well as the new High Availability Node Manager as Windows services.
- Performance of forwarding data to Confluent / Apache Kafka significantly improved.
The full list of changes is described in the Release Notes document available at https://onewayautomation.com/1WA/ReleaseNotes.html
OPC UA Client C++ SDK: new version has been released!
We’ve officially released our OPC UA Client C++ SDK 2.0.0!
It’s the Easiest-To-Use C++ SDK in the market!
Here’s what’s new:
With a re-designed distribution package, you don’t need to build dependencies. Now, it’s easier to evaluate and you can start using it in minutes!
Its main advantages:
✅ Designed by Developers for Developers, so it implements all heavy lifting functionalities. This translates to writing minimal code to communicate with OPC UA Servers.
✅ Compared to other SDKs for C/C++, implementing your application using our SDK is way faster. This leads to project development with a lower budget and shorter timelines.
✅ Makes coding more enjoyable by featuring utilities and helpers!
✅ Automatically reconnects to OPC UA servers, recreating subscriptions and monitored items.
✅ Our simple API fully utilizes the power of modern C++
✅ Uses native C++ base data types (without SDK-specific types).
✅ Uses asynchronous & synchronous calls, and callbacks.
✅ Supports complex data types, enabling values to be easily converted to JSON or string format.
