Help with the Hardware Interface


Hello.

I need help understanding the console output of the console (See screenshot).
I want to show a “1” or a “0” depending on the state of my PLC in a circle using the Spatial Toolbox.

I receive a value from my KepServer IoTGateway running on the same pc as the Edge Server. Checked it with using the

127.0.0.1:39320/iotgateway/read?ids=Siemens.S7.RLY

command.

I set all parameters in the “Manage Hardware Interfaces” Tab except the frameName.

Question 1: The tutorial mentions that I have to name a created object the same as written in the index.js file. Why?

Question 2: What is the 4th parameter in the “Manage Hardware Interfaces” Tab called “Reality Object”?

Question 3: See picture. The server seems to find the RLY Tag that I receive from the IoTGateway. But next it cant find the server anymore. Why?

The next step would be to display to content of the message in the console.

Best Regards
Matthias

Update:

I solved all questions and problems. I see my parameter values in the console.
