Do Thingworx pull data from kepware or kepware push data to thingworx?

Best answer by slangley

Hi @Ujwal17.

 

KEPServerEX initiates the websocket connection to platform (and keeps checking to make sure it is open).  Then it pushes updates to items that ThingWorx has subscribed to.  If it cannot maintain the websocket, it will buffer into the store & forward file until the connection can be obtained again.

Hi Ujwal,

 

Kepware is a bi-directional communication. You can send data from/to devices.
