Connect Thingworx on cloud with Kepware on private network

[SP_9027038]

Hello,

I'm working on a proof of concept to establish connect remote plc with thingworx that is installed on cloud. To give an overview of current setup we have

PLC and Kepware installed on prem ( in private network ), and 

Kepware, and Thingworx installed on a EC2 in AWS in public network.

What is best way to connect both of them? I wish to send data from Kepware ( on prem ) to Thingworx (on cloud) but currently it doesn't work as both are in different networks.

Here is a step-by-step guide to connecting Kepware to ThingWorx:

The guide is one of several guides that cover all the steps in connecting a PLC to ThingWorx

Hi Rick,

Thanks for sharing tutorial. This is definitely helpful. While this guide cover plc thingworx integration, I still have problem when both are in separate network, I looking for way to tunnel out of private network. Can it be done using kepware?

Yes, the guide works when Kepware is run on a computer on a private network network behind a firewall. The computer running Kepware must be able to connect to both the PLC and the server where ThingWorx is running.
