SNCU

Product Overview

The SNCU, from Optospark, is a clever and compact solution now available on the market for a standalone solution that allows users to integrate their legacy system devices without special tools, or platforms.  

Built on the Web server (HTML5)

It has a web toolset software environment that solves the challenges associated with building Internet-enabled products, device-to-enterprise applications and distributed Internet-enabled automation systems. It takes the concept of normalizing the data and behavior of diverse devices, regardless of manufacturer or communication protocol, to enable the implementation of seamless, Internet-connected, web-based systems to the next level.

Opening up Protocols, extending the life of existing sensitive system

It allows customers to have a level of flexibility to minimize workflow disruption and helps to choose controllers and solutions from different manufacturers. But to be truly open, you need to be able to select among devices supporting any protocol. Using the capabilities of the SNCU, along with Optospark's toolsets and connectors, this gives you the ability to truly select the best of breed solutions with minimal disruption to existing workspaces. Many times, a customer needs to integrate a legacy control system into the popular open system. These legacy systems often do not support the newer protocols such as BACnet IP Server, MQTT, Modbus Slave IP/Serial and many more. This often requires developers to write a special software connector to communicate with each system, and to continually support them, it is no simple challenge.

Ease of use – Built-in Connectors, Devices and Points discovery

As with all state-of-the-art driver developments on the SNCU controller, Optospark’s connector have ease of use features such as built-in Connectors, Devices and Points Discovery, along with device and object discovery, once connected. These eases of use feature save a tremendous amount of engineering hours on jobs where time, costs and disruption time are very important.
