The Edge Hub module will provide it with a server certificate for the TLS connection and the KEPServerEX must trust that certificate. When KEPServerEX connects to IoT Edge, it will do so with MQTT over TLS.

Administrative permissions on the KEPServerEX (both KEPServerEX and the underlying host machine)īefore configuring KEPServerEX, we need to take a few environmental setup steps.

This is required by the KEPServerEX IoT Gateway.

the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) installed on the KEPServerEX server.

a KEPServerEX set up and licensed with the IoT Gateway plug-in.an Azure IoT Edge device set up as a 'transparent gateway' per the Azure IoT Edge documentation ( linux or windows).If you do not already have one, create one via the instructions here If you do not already have one, you can create an Azure account and subscription with free credits here Examples include the ability to use custom modules or Azure Functions to transform the data, Azure Streaming Analytics to do filtering and aggregation of the data before it goes to the cloud, and Azure Machine Learning for making predictions on the edge, potentially without having to send all of the detailed data to the cloud.īelow are the step-by-step instructions for connecting KEPServerEX to IoT Hub through IoT Edge Prerequisites That allows both for Edge to act as a gatewey through which traffic must flow, thus isolating the KEPServerEX further from the Internet, as well as the ability to take advantage of the many IoT Edge capabilities for pre-processing that data on the edge. Many customers have expressed a desire to be able to send the data from KEPServerEX through Azure IoT Edge.

Kepware provides an IoT Gateway module today that, per their own instructions, can be used to connect to and send data to Azure IoT Hub over the MQTT protocol. It has connectivity libraries for a vast array of equipment and is a popular choice for unlocking the data from both new and legacy industrial devices. PTC/Kepware's KEPServerEX is an industry leader in industrial and manufacturing device connectivity.
