AUTOSOL Edge ACM is a suite of applications installed on a field device that work in conjunction to poll real-time data and publish it using standardized Sparkplug B message formatting. There are five applications that make up AUTOSOL Edge ACM and These applications are managed by the AUTOSOL App Manager. These five are:

  • eACM/Edge ACM: The polling engine that collects data from the field device using native protocols.

    • Enables report-by-exception data to be sent to any MQTT broker

    • Provides backfill for data retention during communication outages.

  • AUTOSOL MQTT: The publisher that publishes the polled data to a broker and can receive “writes” from a broker intended for the connected end device.

  • Azure: The native MS Azure Connector used when communicating with Azure enabled services.

  • File Handler: Publishes files via MQTT in Base64 format.

  • Priority Forward: Enables multiple connections to a single serial device port; directs traffic per user defined rules to avoid communication interruptions

  • OPC UA

  • asiBridge

AUTOSOL App Manager and Edge Manager

The AUTOSOL App Manager and Edge Manager are built-in, easy-to-use web pages used for configuration. The Edge Manager exists on the field devices and allows configuration of only that device. The AUTOSOL App Manager exists on a centralized Windows computer and allows configuration of multiple AUTOSOL Edge Nodes with lower bandwidth requirements than directly accessing their configuration websites.
