How to get Data from IBA PDA

[oparfon]

IBA PDA (Process Data Acquisition) gatheres data from machine in the same manner like Historian.

I am wondering if we could connect to IBA PDA with Thingworx Industrial Connectivity?

The IBA PDA is collecting the data from PLCs, like our KepServerEX Product. 

KepWare is more flexible on the PLC driver side.

With the IBA PDA you can store the data in a Database ( on premise or cloud Oracle / MSSQL / SAP HANA / PostgreSQL...)

Option 1.) Exchange IBA PDA with KepWare and ThingWorx (Influx DB as persistence provider) 

Option 2.) Connect ThingWorx to the existing database of the IBA PDA

Depends on the on the use case.
