Transformers
Connector Drivers
What are Transformers?
Flexxbotics Transformers are powerful translation connector drivers which include secure, high performance data pipelines, protocols, class structures, method sets, and data models to enable bi-directional read/write between virtually any type of factory equipment for many-to-many interoperable compatibility.
These are freely available and you can create your own using Python

Check out our GitHub project for these existing open-source connector drivers
What can you develop?
You can develop connector drivers – what we call Transformers – with interoperable compatibility for a wide range of industrial protocols that enable data exchange via open standards and proprietary interfaces including:
- Open: OPC UA, MTConnect, SECS/GEM, TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, DeviceNet, and others
- Proprietary: PROFINET/PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, MELSEC, FOCAS2/FOCAS3, and more
IOW, every time you create and add a new Transformer, it’s compatible with all others loaded
You can use the Flexxbotics Studio to create new connector drivers or use your Python IDE of choice
