ctrlX

We offer a loose integration with the ctrlX ecosystem by Bosch Rexroth by our OPC UA client service. To expose edge API functions to a ctrlX PLC, execute the following steps:

1. Install the OPC UA client app on the Vathos edge device.

2. Install the OPC UA server app on the ctrlX device.

3. Create a configuration on the edge device containing at least the URL of the ctrlX OPC-UA server as described in the documentation of our OPC UA protocol.

4. Make sure all nodes from the configuration exist on the OPC-UA server and are of the correct data type as described here.

You can now emulate API requests from the PLC by modifying and reading out variables on the OPC UA server as described in OPC UA protocol documentation.
