OPC UA--Excellent semantic model, SCADA/historian integration, security, structured nodes.
Modbus/BACnet polling--Simple field reads, existing BMS/devices, direct request/response troubleshooting.

This throttles the actual combined demo stream. Slow delivery or lower bandwidth to see tracker/historian lag behind simulator.
