The Asset Simulator can simulate actual device behavior without having to connect to a physical asset. It does this by replaying data sequences derived from mathematical distributions or actual asset data imported as CSV files. Virtual assets can be configured to reference these data sequences and expose them as asset behavior.
The Asset Simulator communicates with KepServerEX in the same way that a real device does. The simulated asset behavior is controlled through an administration console. If you would like to test with the Asset Simulator 8.2.0, please find attached a guide and the actual files necessary.
Notes:
- The attached Asset Simulator applies to both Manufacturing and Service Apps
- If using ThingWorx Manufacturing Apps, import the Manufacturing Apps demo data
- If using ThingWorx Service Apps, import the Service Apps demo data
