OmniServer custom protocol connectivity

What is OmniServer?

OmniServer is a customizable OPC Server that enables you to connect devices with proprietary, legacy, or non-standard protocols to modern industrial software applications—without writing code.

Visual Protocol Builder

Configure device protocols without programming using an intuitive graphical interface that maps data fields and message structures.

Multiple Protocol Support

Connect to devices using serial (RS-232/485), TCP/IP, UDP, and other communication methods simultaneously from a single instance.

Flexible Data Mapping

Extract, transform, and format data from complex message structures with built-in parsing functions and custom expressions.

OPC UA & DA Support

Expose your custom protocols through industry-standard OPC interfaces, ensuring compatibility with all major SCADA and HMI platforms.

When to Use OmniServer

OmniServer excels at solving connectivity challenges that standard OPC servers can't address

Legacy Equipment Integration

Connect proprietary or obsolete devices with custom serial or Ethernet protocols that lack modern connectivity options and add printer.

Common Examples:

Weigh scalesBarcode scannersCustom PLCsProprietary meters

Non-Standard Protocols

Communicate with devices using manufacturer-specific or modified protocols that aren't supported by standard OPC servers.

Common Examples:

Modified ModbusCustom ASCIIProprietary binarySpecialized SCADA

Special Character Devices

Interface with character-based or ASCII protocol devices common in process control and manufacturing environments.

Common Examples:

Process controllersEnvironmental monitorsLab equipmentCustom indicators

Rapid Prototyping

Quickly develop and test connectivity to new devices during product development or system integration projects.

Common Examples:

New product testingSystem validationProtocol verificationProof of concept
