What is Luciai Multiconnector?
Luciai Multiconnector is the industrial data bridge by Luciai Tecnologia: it reads from source, transforms when required, and writes to destination on-premise.
On-Premise Deployment
The bridge, connections, and diagnostics in one unified dashboard
The web interface runs directly on your local plant machine. The dashboard shows whether the bridge engine is running or stopped, tags read and written per second, active connections, and where the latest execution cycle completed.
The Challenge
Every industrial protocol speaks a different language
PLCs, OPC servers, MQTT brokers, enterprise PI historians, and CSV batch files cannot communicate natively. Each link turns into custom scripts, disparate drivers, or ad-hoc spreadsheets. When tag names, offsets, or data types change, integrations fail silently away from the control room.
- Single pane of glass to verify read inputs and written outputs
- Source and destination configured within the same local engine
- Pre-flight connection testing before deploying tag maps
- Local embedded database residing securely on your plant network
Tag Mapping Engine
Source tag to destination tag, transforming only where necessary
Every source tag routes to one or multiple destination tags. Apply linear scaling, offsets, type conversion, digital bit state lookups, or dynamic payload assembly. Tag maps can be imported, exported, and generated through auto-mapping suggestions.
- Drag-and-drop source-to-destination tag linking
- In-flight scaling, offset calculations, and type casting
- Digital state mapping (e.g. converting 0/1 bits into descriptive text)
- Import, export, and template reusable tag mapping configurations
Bridge Engine
Full observability across read and write execution cycles
While idle, configure read scan intervals, write throttling, concurrent workers, and batch sizes. When activated, monitor live throughput, read/written counters, active connections, and error buffers.
- Start and stop the bridge engine with one click
- Live data point monitoring across mapped tags
- Dedicated collection groups with custom poll intervals
- Isolate slow instrument polls from high-speed critical points
Multi-Instance Routing
BridgeLink routes industrial streams across plants and servers
BridgeLink pairs two Luciai Multiconnector nodes over secure WSS channels, routing streams in transit without tag-by-tag remap. Real-time outbound queues and throughput are monitored per link. Pairing is deterministic and manual via endpoints without unmanaged mDNS discovery.
- Peer pairing over encrypted WSS with pre-save probe validation
- Mutual node identity, certificate fingerprints, and shared secrets
- Egress queue depth and transmission bandwidth per link
- BridgeLink license enables distributed cross-instance routing
System Service & Licensing
Native system service with node-locked hardware licensing
The core runs as a native background service on Windows or Linux systemd. Licensing is generated directly from the local machine fingerprint into a cryptographically signed license file. In High Availability mode, nodes maintain an Active/Standby topology with automatic leader election over a shared database.
- Runs as Windows Service (services.msc) or Linux systemd daemon
- Boots automatically with operating system, administrator privilege setup
- Deterministic .request to .license node activation workflow
- License governs authorized protocols, connection limits, and tag quotas

Workflow
Three clear steps directly on the plant floor
No separate gateways for each protocol pair. A single, cohesive software deployment.
02
Map Data Points
Browse OPC UA nodes, MQTT topics, S7 PLC DB tags, PI points, or CSV fields. Link sources to destinations and apply data transformations only where scales or data types differ.
03
Start the Bridge
Trigger execution from the dashboard or enable the background OS service. Monitor live reads, writes, queue depths, and operational logs in real time.
Target Roles
Built for engineers managing industrial protocol bridges
Tailored for industrial operational realities without inflated claims.
Systems Integrators
Connect PLCs, OPC servers, MQTT brokers, historians, and flat files without maintaining custom bespoke scripts or separate one-off middleware boxes.
OT & Automation Engineers
Maintain bridging logic directly in the browser: start, stop, diagnose communication faults, and update tag scaling rules instantly.
Multi-Plant Operations
Stream industrial plant data securely between separate Luciai Multiconnector nodes using BridgeLink with end-to-end queue visibility.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on what the product performs across plant floor environments.
What is Luciai Multiconnector?
It is the industrial data bridge by Luciai Tecnologia. It reads from a source protocol, applies transformation rules when specified, and writes to a target protocol. Operations are completely managed on-premise via an embedded web UI within your plant network.
What industrial protocols are supported?
It natively connects OPC UA, OPC DA (Windows), MQTT, Siemens S7, Modbus TCP, CSV/DAT batch files, OSIsoft PI SDK, PI SDK-COM, and inter-instance BridgeLink. Active drivers depend on your node-locked license.
Does Luciai Multiconnector run in the cloud or on-premise?
It runs 100% on-premise at the edge or plant floor. The web dashboard, REST API, and embedded configuration database reside entirely on local hardware as a native Windows Service or Linux systemd daemon.
How does BridgeLink route data across plants or servers?
BridgeLink establishes an encrypted WSS tunnel between two Luciai Multiconnector instances, forwarding data streams with local egress queuing and bandwidth monitoring without manual tag-by-tag remaps.
Can tags be scaled, offset, and type-converted in transit?
Yes. The tag mapping engine supports linear multiplier scaling, mathematical offsets, data type casting, digital bit state enumerations, and dynamic JSON payload assembly.
How is the software licensed?
Licensing is bound cryptographically to the host machine's hardware fingerprint. Each license defines authorized protocols, maximum connection counts, and active tag quotas.
