Introduction

In this step-by-step workshop you will connect modbus device(s) with IoT Central application via KEPServerEx and an IoT Edge Gateway

Scenarios

modbus devices connected to IoT Central via IoT Edge Gateway using the following patterns:

• Opaque: In this pattern IoT Edge Gateway is only device known in the cloud

 

Opaque pattern

In this pattern IoT Edge Gateway is the only device known in the cloud. All capabilities are part of that one device.

1. Setup and run modbus Simulator and KEPServerEx

2. Build and publish opaque custom IoT Edge module

3. Setup IoT Central application

4. Deploy an IoT Edge enabled Linux VM

5. Confim that IoT Edge device status shows "Provisioned" in your IoT Central application

   

6. Configure KEPServerEX and connect

   • First call file command to set the configuration
   • then call connect command to get IoT Edge Gateway connected to KEPServerEX

7. click on IoT Edge Gateway device and select "Raw data" tab and verify the telemetry is flowing
