Hi all,

 

I am trying to communicate ThingWorx Foundation (Hosted Trial for 90 days) with the ThingWorx Industrial Connectivity.

 

I am using the guide: https://developer.thingworx.com/en/resources/guides/model-allen-bradley-plc


In the step 3 the field "host" in the image below show me the link "pp-18011714014o.devportal.ptc.io" and my question is:

 

Where I find my link to fill this field?

Hello @einsfele,

 

the "host" field needs to have your TWX Server host URL to let KEPServerEX know where it can find ThingWorx.

My guess is that the one showed in the image is just an example and it will vary on each usecase. As stated in the step 6:

"In the Host field, enter the IP address of your ThingWorx Foundation server."

 

If you have access to our KCS, we also have this Article available. It might help you in addition to the guide you are using:

I hope this information helps!

 

Thanks!

    Hello @einsfele,

     

    provided screenshot provides the hostname for your 30 Days trial. If you would like to link your KEPServerX to that 30 Days trial, my understanding is that you should try that URL.

     

    However, you mentioned that you would like to use your 90 Days trial. Then you need to figure out the hostname for your 90 Days trial. What is the URL that you use to login to ThingWorx Composer for the 90 Days trial?

    According to the comment in the screenshot "grab one of the Trial Edition installs from the downloads page and use it locally for 90 days to build a proof of concept". Have you installed the 90 Days trial TWX Server locally? If yes, then you need to find out the hostname of the machine where you have installed it.

     

    I hope this helps!

     

    Thanks!

    Vanessa
