About
The PLC Command Bridge writes to programmable logic controllers over the protocols they already expose, typically Modbus TCP registers and coils or OPC UA writable nodes. Every writable target is declared up front with its type, bounds, and meaning; the connector will not touch an address it was not given. Commands are single-flight per controller and carry idempotency keys, so a network retry lands as the same instruction, not a second one.
This reference connector excludes safety-system authority. A real deployment must enforce certified local interlocks, allow-listed bounds, human approval, and fail-closed behavior outside the model. Managed early access does not establish that every command is recorded or safely reversible.
Highlights
- Sends vetted commands to line controllers
- Idempotent by key
- Writes use idempotency keys and single-flight controls to suppress duplicate effects on retry
- Provisioned with a deployment engineer through the early-access program

Authentication
Uses the security of the underlying path: network-layer scoping for Modbus TCP targets, X.509 certificate trust for OPC UA targets, plus Fibric's declared write allow-list.
What it reads
- Current values of the declared writable targets, read back before and after each command
- Controller reachability and mode, as a precondition for any write
- Command outcomes: applied, rejected, or timed out, per receipt
What it can do
- Write a declared register, coil, or node to a value within its bounds, propose-only to start
- Reset or acknowledge a declared flag as part of a vetted plan
How it works
1
Sense
Current values of the declared writable targets, read back before and after each command.
2
Reason
Operators reason over this connector's signals next to the rest of your stack, so decisions are grounded in the same records you run on.
3
Act
Target capability: Write a declared register, coil, or node to a value within its bounds, propose-only to start. Actual authority, duplicate controls, and recovery depend on the validated deployment and downstream system.
Pricing
Managed early access
This listing is informational and not self-serve. A deployment review must validate the connector, credentials, action boundary, recovery path, support, and contractual pricing before use.
- Deployment engineer
- Wires and verifies the integration with you during onboarding
- Managed validation
- Review maturity, authority, supported records, and deployment boundaries before go-live
- Execution records
- Supported reads, proposals, policy decisions, and reported outcomes kept for review
- Support from the builders
- Developed, run, and supported directly by Fibric
Requirements
- IP reachability to each controller over Modbus TCP or OPC UA
- A declared write map: address, type, bounds, and meaning for every writable target
- Sign-off that no safety-instrumented targets are in scope
Your deployment engineer verifies each line with you during onboarding.
Support and resources
Supported by the people who built it
This connector is developed, run, and supported by the same Fibric team. Support starts during onboarding with a named deployment engineer and doesn't hand you off afterward.

Bring PLC Command Bridge into your early-access deployment
Early access means a deployment engineer wires this with you, and it runs propose-only until you approve live actions.
