Plugin Manuals

Choose a collection or data-forwarding plugin by the direction of data flow, then open its manual for settings, address rules, dedicated debug panels, and troubleshooting. Use search when you know the plugin name.

Choose by task

Task	Plugin type	Configuration page
Read a PLC, instrument, robot, or field protocol	Collection plugin	Collection Configuration
Subscribe to MQTT, OPC UA, or another server	Collection plugin	Collection Configuration
Publish to MQTT, Kafka, RabbitMQ, ZeroMQ, or a Web service	Data-forwarding plugin	Data Forwarding
Store current values, historical values, or historical alarms	Data-forwarding plugin	Data Forwarding
Expose Modbus, OPC UA, OPC DA/AE, IEC104, IEC61850, BACnet/IP, SNMP, or CoAP services	Data-forwarding plugin	Data Forwarding
Synchronize TGateway nodes	Data-forwarding plugin	Data Forwarding

One protocol can have both a collection plugin and a server plugin. For example, Modbus Master reads a device, while Modbus Server exposes gateway data to another system. Choose the plugin according to the direction of data flow.

Call plugin methods directly

Every collection device and forwarding target has an Allow method calls switch, disabled by default. When enabled, Web API, debug, rule nodes, and protocol entries supporting method requests can call that instance's exposed direct methods without binding a variable. Results are recorded in RPC logs.

This capability is not limited to MQTT or OPC UA plugins. Open the instance's Special methods catalog and use its actual parameters. See Plugin Method Calls for steps, switch scope, and entry formats. Variable writes and variable-bound methods retain their existing variable permissions.

Use and troubleshooting

Use a plugin manual

Configure channels, devices, common variables, forwarding groups, triggers, cache, redundancy, and enable/disable operations in Collection Configuration and Data Forwarding.

For register byte order (data), string length (len), BCD format (bcd), and character encoding (encoding), see Common variable register options.

1. Read the introduction and configuration entry to confirm the data direction and page.
2. Configure the fields under Plugin properties.
3. Add variable-level mapping only when the page provides Target variable properties or address rules.
4. Save and enable the object, then open the dedicated Device debug or Target debug panel.
5. Complete one real read, publish, database write, or server-side read using the page's verification steps.

Use approved test points for writes, RPC, remote control, start/stop, reset, motion, and raw-packet operations. Follow the site's safety procedure.

Plugin not found

1. Open Development Configuration → Plugin Management and clear the search and vendor filters.
2. Search by protocol abbreviation, vendor, or plugin name.
3. Confirm that the plugin is enabled and check license, platform, and AOT restrictions.
4. After installing or updating a plugin, run Synchronize Plugins, then return to the configuration page.
