OT Gateway for Machine Signals
How an OT gateway collects industrial protocol signals before those signals become usable evidence.
Definition
An OT gateway for machine signals is a protocol edge that reads, normalizes, and forwards industrial machine signals with operational context.
Problem
Factories and facilities mix PLCs, gateways, historians, SCADA systems, and vendor tools. Each protocol has different data models, connection behavior, security assumptions, and failure modes.
Styxis perspective
Styxis turns events in automated operational environments, from data changes to industrial machine signals, into traceable, verifiable proof.
Product connection
TRAP is the Styxis OT gateway that brings Modbus TCP/RTU and OPC UA machine signals into the Styxis trust layer.
FAQ
Why use a software OT gateway?
A software gateway can centralize configuration, normalize protocol behavior, and expose machine signals to modern systems.
Which protocols does TRAP currently support?
TRAP currently supports Modbus TCP/RTU and OPC UA as stable production paths.
What should an OT gateway normalize?
It should normalize values, timestamps, quality states, device status, errors, and connection lifecycle events.
