Connecting a CODESYS system to Thingworx?

[ehalvordsson]

Did anyone here set up a connection from a CODESYS based system to Thingworx? If so how did you solve it? I am concerned about keeping such a solution up to date (certificates, new releases etc).

I also would connect (many) codesys based PLC to Thingworx ... did you find a "smart" solution ?

I though those possible solutions

1. use codesys OPC server + gateway

2. implemente MQTT into the PLC

3. use direct REST API from the PLC

4. add a Microserver near the PLC and write to it from the PLC

5. send direct RAW data from the PLC to the TWX by using a protocol adapter in the middle

The are many possibilities with different pro and cons...

You can use OPC UA or OPC DA extension,or TCP communicaiton by using the Protocol Adapter SDK.
