PRTG OPC UA Server extends the functionality of Paessler PRTG to bridge IT and OT environments. It consolidates IT and OT monitoring data and alarms, converting PRTG monitoring data and alarms to OPC UA. This allows supervisory and control systems (SCADA, DCS, MES, HMI) to become the central endpoint for PRTG alerts and notifications. It minimizes OT blind spots, streamlines troubleshooting, and supports compliance with security directives like NIS-2 through holistic IT/OT network monitoring. It requires an active PRTG Network Monitor subscription or a perpetual license.

Features:

• Consolidated overview of IT/OT components: View the status & health of IT components like firewalls, switches, and servers next to OT network components like PLCs and industrial PCs. Use your SCADA, DCS, MES, or HMI system as a unified dashboard for your converged infrastructure.
• Central alarm system for industrial networks: Integrate OPC UA alarms from the production floor & PRTG alerts from your IT centrally in your supervisory and control system. Do away with coordinating warning and error thresholds, alarms, and notifications across multiple tools or systems.
• Streamlined troubleshooting processes: Acknowledge alarms directly from your supervisory and control system, leveraging the power of OPC UA Alarms & Conditions. Respond to and resolve issues in the IT network that influence manufacturing processes – without the help of colleagues from IT.
• Enhanced OT network security concept: Complement your OT security strategy with a comprehensive monitoring concept to comply with governmental regulations such as NIS-2. Reduce blind spots in your OT environment and respond faster to possible security issues through direct communication.
