Hi there,

 

I would like to get data from a PLC to an AR Application. To realize this I try to get the Data form the PLC to ThingWorx Industiral Connectivety. Then the Data has to be send form ThingWorx Industrial Connectivety to the ThingWorx Composer to connect to Vuforia Studio, right? How can I connect Data from ThingWorx Industrial Connectivety to ThingWorx Composer?

 

Thanks for help.

Thanks for your answer. If I follow these steps, I allways get a error: Connection to Thingworx was not possivle. The Host could not be detached. Where can I find the correct name of Host and Port? What else could be the reason of this mistake?

Hi @mn1 ,

 

You need to put Host and port of ThingWorx tomcat server in the Connection settings in ThingWorx Project properties of KepServerEx configuration. Also you need to put valid app key.

 

If you are facing issue, please share the screenshot of project properties and kepserver event logs.

 

Thanks,

Himanshu
