). To configure a secure connection between Kepware Edge and TW, see Test 4: Connect to ThingWorx Native Interface over HTTPS.
This task provides an example of how to connect an instance of Kepware Edge to ThingWorx Foundation Server by using the ThingWorx native interface. For detailed information about the configuration of the ThingWorx native interface, see the ThingWorx Kepware Edge User Manual.
The following steps provide the parameters used to run REST commands against the Kepware Edge REST API. Software can be used to make the process easier, and Postman was used in the testing of this Dell Validated Design.
To connect to ThingWorx native interface, perform the following steps.
{
"project_id": <Paste_Project_ID_from_GET_command>,
"thingworxinterface.ENABLED": true
}
{
"project_id": <Paste_Project_ID_from_GET_command> >,
"thingworxinterface.ENABLED": true,
"thingworxinterface.HOSTNAME": "<Hostname_or_IP_of_ThingWorx>",
"thingworxinterface.PORT": <Port_Number>,
"thingworxinterface.RESOURCE": "/Thingworx/WS",
"thingworxinterface.APPKEY": "<App_Key>",
"thingworxinterface.ALLOW_SELF_SIGNED_CERTIFICATE": true,
"thingworxinterface.TRUST_ALL_CERTIFICATES": true,
"thingworxinterface.DISABLE_ENCRYPTION": true,
"thingworxinterface.THING_NAME": "<ThingName>"
}
This is an example of the basic steps to connect Kepware Edge to a device running the Modbus TCP/IP protocol. For more information about how to configure and manage the Kepware Edge Modbus Ethernet driver, see the ThingWorx Kepware Edge Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet Driver Manual.
To configure the Modbus channel, device, and tag, perform the following steps.
{
"common.ALLTYPES_NAME": "<Name_of_Modbus_channel>",
"servermain.MULTIPLE_TYPES_DEVICE_DRIVER": " Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet"
}
{
"common.ALLTYPES_NAME": "<Name_of_Modbus_Device>",
"servermain.MULTIPLE_TYPES_DEVICE_DRIVER": " Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet"
}
{
"common.ALLTYPES_NAME": "<Name_of_Modbus_Tag>",
"servermain.TAG_ADDRESS": “40001”
}
