Let’s consider how a typical wind farm operates. A SCADA system is used to monitor and remotely control the turbines, operational parameters, energy output, and integration with the power grid. But to control the wind turbines, it needs to communicate using more traditional IT components like routers and switches.
Now let’s imagine that one of these IT components fails and the data flow from the turbines to the SCADA system is disrupted, compromising the turbines' real-time monitoring and control. Operators could be unable to adjust to situations like changing wind conditions, resulting in inefficient energy generation or even turbine damage.
So IT network components are critical – even in OT environments. But if they're not visible in the SCADA system, the OT technicians’ insight into the status of communications with the wind turbines is limited. For this reason, PRTG OPC UA Server is a great opportunity to bring IT component data into OPC UA-based supervisory and control systems.
Let’s consider a water utility company that uses a state-of-the-art SCADA system with multiple data center locations, redundant servers, firewalls, VPNs, access points, and connected IoT devices that collect data on water levels, the status of pumps and valves, and much more. But the data that SCADA operators see in their control panel only comes from OT.
Now let’s imagine that a VPN tunnel used for connectivity or an IoT device fails. As the OT technician is not able to monitor the status of these IT components, they might not be able to react in time. The results: water levels in elevated tanks and towers, which are critical to municipalities, become too low; firefighters won’t have enough water to put out fires; and communities could be poisoned if water pressure goes below a certain PSI and no boil alert was issued.
Using PRTG OPC UA Server to bring IT monitoring data and corresponding alarms into the SCADA system as a central endpoint can – in a best-case scenario – even save lives.
Hygiene and time play a much greater role in food production than in most other industries. For this reason, the Good Manufacturing Principles for the food and beverages industry prescribe what monitoring data should be collected for analysis. But this data is usually limited to OT data.
Let’s imagine a company that uses OS PI Historian to collect and view their time series data. But something is missing: the state and condition of IT equipment that supports the manufacturing environment. If this data is not visible in the data historian, it means that responsible OT technicians are not analyzing the full picture. They might even overlook an IT component failure that can lead to serious consequences such as contamination of equipment or delays in production processes.
This is exactly where a solution like PRTG OPC UA Server can help get IT monitoring data into OSI PI Historian and provide a much more comprehensive picture for the analysis of the production processes over time.

“Great interface, intuitive, full REST support. Custom scripts, rest sensors add extra value. We have been using PRTG for 10 years now in multiple environments and use cases. It has by far the best interface and is very easy to setup without prior experience.”

Paessler PRTG OPC UA Server is a separately licensed product extension of the monitoring software PRTG Network Monitor.
It works as an industrial converter that converts PRTG monitoring data and alarms to OPC UA and provides supervisory and control systems (SCADA, DCS, MES, HMI) with business-critical monitoring data about IT and OT network components, making them the central endpoint for alarms from both the production floor and IT network components.
You can only use the extension together with an active PRTG Network Monitor subscription or a perpetual license.
Paessler PRTG OPC UA Server offers a free 30-day trial subscription that includes an unlimited number of OPC UA nodes as well as the full feature set of the Professional subscription of PRTG OPC UA Server. If your trial period expires, you need to purchase one of the commercial PRTG OPC UA Server subscriptions.
