1. Download & Unpack
Download the appropriate package and unpack it.
| Download | Size |
|---|---|
| df-bridge-2.1.0-win-x86.zip | 33 MB |
| df-bridge-2.1.0-win-x64.zip | 35 MB |
| df-bridge-2.1.0-linux-x64.tar.gz | 33 MB |

2. Configure
If you are using DataFurt Bridge the first time, you don't have to do anything here.
The unpacked folder already contains a fully functional config.toml alongside the application
itself. It subscribes to an MQTT topic, does some data transformation, and writes the data to a local CSV
file.
# Example of a simple config.toml # Specify the data source [source] type = "mqtt" host = "242accb847ec46639a4ee33b1c40cb0f.s1.eu.hivemq.cloud" username = "public-readonly" password = "public-readonly" topics = ["datafurt/sensors/temperature"] transformer = "./transformer-example.js" # Specify the target system [target] type = "csv" path = "./data.csv"
3. Start
On Windows, a double-click on df-bridge.exe is enough. However, for better
control, you should start it from the command line:
./df-bridge.exe --config ./config.toml
On Linux, make the binary executable first, then start it:
chmod +x ./df-bridge ./df-bridge --config ./config.toml
Congratulations! You just built an MQTT data logger! 🎉
Now, you can play around with the configuration and create your own setup using the documentation. If you get stuck, don't hesitate to send an email to support@datafurt.com.

Questions?
Let's try to answer some common questions.
What is DataFurt?
DataFurt Systems is a German company that specializes in software solutions for industrial data communication.
DataFurt Bridge is the main product of DataFurt Systems. It is a local service that receives data from various sources and translates it into different target systems.
Why does my browser or Windows display a security warning?
Modern web browsers and Microsoft Windows use reputation-based security features to help protect users when downloading or running applications. Depending on your browser, operating system, and security settings, you may see a warning before downloading or starting DataFurt Bridge.
DataFurt Bridge is distributed exclusively through datafurt.com and every release is published directly by DataFurt Systems. If you obtained the software from our official website, you can safely proceed.
Which protocols and systems are planned next?
We are continuously expanding DataFurt Bridge. The current roadmap focuses on the following systems and protocols:
- Modbus
- SQL/ODBC
- Siemens S7
Priorities can change based on customer demand and practical integration requirements. If a specific protocol is important for your project, contact us at support@datafurt.com.
How much data can DataFurt Bridge handle?
In our benchmarks, a single DataFurt Bridge instance processed more than 45,000 messages per second on an Intel® Core™ i7-13700K processor. Actual throughput depends on your hardware, source and target systems, network latency, message size, and whether a JavaScript Transformer is used.
If your application requires higher throughput, DataFurt Bridge can be scaled horizontally by running multiple instances in parallel. The achievable throughput depends on your hardware, workload, and system architecture.
How is the software paid for and delivered?
You can conveniently download and test the software before purchase.
License purchases are handled through our provider Stripe. You pay for the selected subscription term in advance. Immediately after purchase, you receive your invoice with VAT shown and your license file by email. Working with license files is described in the documentation.
What is the difference between the Single and Unlimited license?
Single allows one Production Deployment within one organization. Unlimited allows any number of Production Deployments within one organization.
In a typical setup, a Production Deployment means DataFurt Bridge running on one physical or virtual machine. You can run multiple instances of DataFurt Bridge on that machine, each with its own configuration. These instances can connect different systems and protocols in parallel and are all covered by the same Single license.
For example, a single machine could run one instance connecting OPC DA to MQTT, another connecting MQTT to HTTP, and another connecting MQTT to CSV. All three instances are covered by the same Single license.
When do I need more than one Single license?
You need a separate Single license for each Production Deployment within your organization.
For example, if you run DataFurt Bridge on two separate production machines, each machine represents a separate Production Deployment and requires its own Single license. Alternatively, you can use an Unlimited license to cover any number of Production Deployments within the same organization.
Can I use DataFurt Bridge for multiple companies?
A license is valid for one legally separate organization. Each organization requires its own license.
System integrators and consultants may install and operate DataFurt Bridge for their customers. However, each customer organization requires its own license.
How long is a license valid?
Paid licenses are valid for one year and automatically renew for another year unless cancelled before the renewal date.
The technical license file must be renewed for each new subscription period.
Does DataFurt Bridge require an Internet connection?
No. DataFurt Bridge runs locally and does not require an Internet connection.
What does the direct, qualified email support include?
Email support includes help with specific questions about configuration, using the software, and troubleshooting issues that arise during operation. We typically respond within 24 hours on business days.
Intensive training, online sessions, and on-site support are available as additional services on request and are billed separately.
