If you have received a Hilscher Compact Edge Gateway from us, it takes just a few steps to install it. The objective is to connect your gateway to the OPC UA server of your machine.
Necessary requirements:
You need a valid Cloud Connect license. Order your Try and Buy package if you don't have one yet.
If you have purchased a BOLE machine that was delivered outside of China in January 2024 or later, the Cloud Connect license is included free of charge ex factory. You only need to activate it here.
Provide a power supply for the gateway: +8 ... +30 V DC IN, typically +24 V DC.

Mount Gateway
Mount the Hilscher Compact Edge Gateway pre-configured by us professionally with the mobile radio antennas on the machine or in its vicinity.
Wire the gateway correctly and supply it with operating voltage. Observe the safety instructions below.
As soon as the gateway is supplied with power, a connection request is automatically sent to Cloud Connect via the mobile network. Optionally, this is also possible via your company network.

Configure Gateway
Connect your service PC locally to the gateway.
Log in to the gateway (for access data, see back of gateway).
Configure the network parameters in the gateway under "Networking" according to your machine.
Optionally, carry out a connection test (ping test) between the gateway and the machine. Use the terminal on your service PC for this:
(nc -zv <IP address> <OPC UA port>).
