Hi @vigneshmurthy 

Sure you can install KEPServerEX and ThingWorx on single server. On Your Remote Things add a  ThingShape  'IndustrialThingShape' and on Properties and Alerts tab  set value for property  IndustrialThing and select  the Thing used to connect between ThingWork and KEPServerEX.

 

Thanks

Hi @vigneshmurthy.

To expand on Abhishek's response, while it is possible to run both Kepware and ThingWorx on the same machine, this is not a recommended configuration for a production environment.  Over time you may begin to experience performance issues, especially if you are also running the ThingWorx persistence provider on the same machine.
