* InfluxDB Connector (representation of time series fields as OPC UA items).
* IEC 60870-5-104 (TCP/IP client).
* OPC UA Client (access to external OPC UA servers).

The server provides the ability to publish and store industrial data as time series using the following drivers:

* InfluxDB.
* PostgreSQL.
* Oracle Database.
* MS SQL Server.
* MySQL.
* REST Client.

Supported OPC UA communication services:
