REST

The REST protocol allows different systems to be connected and linked using a REST interface. It works on pure web technologies and is based on stateless logic for querying and editing data in systems. It is used in many modern application platforms that allow access and data exchange for external systems via REST interfaces.

The OPC Router is capable of addressing and querying REST web services. This allows almost any system with a REST API to be connected, enabling data to be queried from these systems or transferred to them. Using the REST trigger, the OPC Router can also act as a REST server and provide REST functions for calling. This enables the creation of a custom REST API for any systems that are connected with the available plug-ins.
